Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

The transformation has been incredible

"Mentoring with Michelle wasn’t just about solving work challenges - it was about rediscovering myself and my confidence. I came into the sessions feeling overworked, overwhelmed, and stuck in repetitive cycles. Through her guidance, I reconnected with my authentic self and my passion for performance consulting. It wasn’t just about work; it was about finding clarity, purpose, and joy in what I do. The transformation has been incredible, and I’m now leading with clarity and making a real impact."
- Kate Chandraratnam
Learning Professional, Roller

Come away with a solid plan to get cracking on it

"The session was just the right blend of having a really robust structure whilst being very responsive to the flow of the conversation. Michelle has a great knack of absorbing what you say, distilling and repackaging it to you to give you meaningful insights. From an array of potential development goals I was able to hone in on the one that will realise the biggest impact to my development and come away with a solid plan to get cracking on it."
- Keith Crellin
National Training Officer – Biological Science, DTS Food Assurance

A pivotal point in my professional development planning

"This one-one-one mentoring session with Michelle Ockers is shaping up to be a pivotal point in my professional development planning for the year. Michelle identified opportunities which build on my skills to stretch and develop new capabilities. She provides easy ways to create new habits to practice and improve skills. Michelle is generous in sharing her wisdom and provides a wealth of resources, research and references from what appears to be an unending ‘Mary Poppins’ style toolbox. I was brimming with actions that I could confidently start implement straight away. Prepare to be nudged. Prepare to be stretched. Prepare to be challenged. Prepare to move purposefully towards achieving your goals."
- Penny Liddington
Learning and Development Specialist, Sigma Health Care

I wouldn’t have achieved what we’ve achieved

"I wouldn’t have achieved what we’ve achieved this year without mentoring. I’d probably still be stuck—or worse, I might have left the company."
