Shane is that super coach you want in your corner. He has a remarkable depth of knowledge and wisdom on leadership, communication and building teams. Over the past 6-months, Shane has coached and mentored me through a series of 1:1 sessions. This has undoubtedly short-circuited my effectiveness in building and leading high performing teams and communicating effectively; whether a formal speaking event, executive meeting or informal team meeting. He has broken down boundaries by taking me on a journey of self-discovery to create a more authentic leader and communicator. There is never a dull moment with Shane and I would highly recommend getting Shane into your corner.Gretta Svendsen - SMB Lead at Microsoft

I have worked with Shane on a few occasions where he was engaged as a speaker, workshop facilitator and developed and delivered a communications program and video content for my teams. What I love about working with Shane is he is thoughtful, kind, considered and generous. But most of all, he is excellent at his craft and always delivers excellence in his services. As a CEO, whose organisation’s values are excellence, bravery and relationships, it’s essential that those who we engage, deliver on this promise for our teams. I have the utmost trust and respect for Shane and know that he will deliver on his commitment.Leanne Williams - CEO, West Gippsland Libraries (Myli)

I had the pleasure of working with Shane as he delivered communication training to our Leadership Team at Vinomofo. Over two sessions Shane proceeded to blow minds, rock worlds, drop mics, knock socks off and generally be all kinds of awesome. To say it was valuable is an understatement. Not only is he great at what he does, but he’s one of the nicest guys you’ll meet.Mikey Ellis

We had Shane come in to run a workshop with our senior leadership teams, with the aim of increase confidence with presenting and improving how the team delivers information. Shanes approach to ‘Leading the room’ takes presenting beyond just presentations and public speaking; and makes it relatable to every day interactions: how to make an impression, and effectively get your message across to any audience. The half day workshop that we undertook was engaging and fun; using an active example to workshop was a great approach to illustrate how we could apply our new skills. I would recommend this session to other organisations looking to enhance the delivery of their messages and support strong leadership, our CEO who regularly presents declared that even he took a lot away from the session.Cassie - Royal Flying Doctor Service

One of my takeaways from my time at one organisation I was working for was just shortly after I had taken up my role as GM of OD when Shane was invited in to run a values-based coaching session for the entire People and Culture team - at that time a number of about 60. Shane was engaging and humorous throughout the session and skilfully and collaboratively led the group to arrive at a set of values-based behaviours that I continued to endorse and promote within my own Team over one year later. On a more personal level, Shane took time out of his schedule to check in with me when an organisation I was working for was undergoing considerable change - I was facing considerable challenges of ambiguity, lack of transparency etc yet Shane made efforts to contact me to simply listen! I so appreciated his time. I would be delighted to further expound upon the quality of Shane's work and have no hesitation in recommending his services to other organisations.Susanna Bradley - People and Culture Leader

I asked Shane to mentor me for a keynote speech I was preparing for. It was an amazing experience. Shane was calm and focussed. He asked great questions which helped me clarify my key messages. His mentoring process assisted me to identify key stories to share with the audience. He gave me advice to create a clear structure that was powerful and had impact. He listened attentively and really cared about me and wanted to ensure I was going to smash the keynote. Working with Shane also gave me great confidence that my keynote was going to hit the mark with the audience and be of service to them. I cannot recommend Shane highly enough for his expertise in mentoring and coaching around speaking. He is so talented and generous and an absolutely outstanding operator. Cynthia Mahoney - Leadership Consultant

I had the pleasure of working with Shane at the Public Sector Comms Leaders conference where I saw him speak. Not only is Shane exceptionally entertaining as a speaker, he is extremely informative. As someone who works with coaches and speakers on the day-to-day, I couldn’t recommend Shane more. He was the highlight of the conference.Helen Turnbull

In the space of around a month I went from thinking ‘no never’ to standing up the front of a theatre of over 400 people and talking confidently about my subject matter and responding to unscripted panel questions, all while being on camera! The first time I did that, it felt amazing because I was so pleasantly surprised to realise that I was comfortable and confident in my delivery and had people in the audience thank me and say I was ‘a natural’. I also realised that by ‘avoiding’ putting myself out there, I had been selling myself short and also not doing my policy work any justice. If I wasn’t going to speak about my work someone else would, and that wouldn’t be fair - I wanted to be the one doing the speaking. So I now find myself 12 months on reaching out to all those stakeholders I used to avoid and volunteering to come and speak at their forums. Which I almost can’t believe – and need to pinch myself! I’m also incredibly proud that I have been invited to represent the Victorian Government and speak at a plenary session at the Social Enterprise World Forum in Ethiopia next month. It was most rewarding to be told ‘I can’t think of anyone better placed or more able to speak about this policy than you’.Elisabeth Lette
