Transform and Thrive with Contemporary Organisational Learning and Development

Michelle Parry-Slater worked with us to deliver an organisation design project, bringing her experience and specialist knowledge to the project team in a motivational way which developed our systems thinking approach, and harnessed a really positive energy and collaborative style. In addition, Michelle provided one-to-one coaching support which I found extremely beneficial, gently challenging at times, and helped me to build confidence in a new senior leadership role.

Michelle Parry-Slater’s approach to coaching combined with her experience and perspectives on organisation practice make her a powerful thinking partner. Engaging in coaching sessions with Michelle has enabled me to pace myself, reflect well, and be decisive. This had a huge impact on my wellbeing, my thinking, my practice and my effectiveness. Listening without judgement means I can speak freely in a way I can’t elsewhere.

Michelle Parry-Slater's coaching helped me grow in confidence, stay accountable, and make real progress in areas I’d been avoiding for far too long. What I appreciated most was her ability to create a space where I could be honest with myself. Michelle helped me uncover the solutions I knew deep down by asking about my assumptions and keeping me to stay focused on what it was I wanted to achieve. Michelle has a great mix of warmth, clarity, and challenge, which helped support me in a way that felt both empowering and practical. I’m genuinely grateful for the impact she’s had on my development and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her coaching to anyone looking to move forward with purpose and confidence.

"Michelle Ockers is a passionate, professional, and engaging subject matter expert in organisational learning and development who generously shared her knowledge and insights on how HR professionals could do to future-proof our learning and development culture in the Tasmanian State Service HR Forum held in Hobart on 27 November 2019. Before the forum, she worked closely with me to ensure that her masterclass aligned with the overall theme but she also proposed different ideas that would make it more interesting and insightful for participants."

"After struggling for months to develop a Project Plan to deliver our training strategy, utilising the resources of another provider, I contacted Michelle via a cold call. From my initial conversation with her, I was impressed by her knowledge, focus and attention to detail. Michelle was incredibly professional and thorough throughout the process. She developed a Project Plan that exceeded our expectations. The result of Michelle’s work has meant that our training strategy now has the detail behind it to move forward in an organised and holistic manner. I highly recommend the services of Michelle with regard to strategic project planning."

"Michelle met with our team about the online course we are developing and ways we might provide microlearning opportunities for our learners. She is a superb listener and a quick study. She demonstrated a remarkable ability to dive into an arena new to her and quickly gain her bearings so that she could provide value-added support. We were invigorated by the creativity and expansiveness of her thinking."
