“This was one of the best training sessions conducted (by Grant Withrington) for having ‘Performance Conversations’. So relatable, excellent sharing of life experiences and showing us how to progress with employees to bring out their strengths and not destroy the person due to outdated programming that we hold (that just doesn’t work). So, a big thank you and hope that this particular training model is used for our Executive Leadership team and high-level Directors.”

I’ve just enjoyed two days of lively discussions engaging with other public sector managers completing the People Matters training program. It was interesting to be the only Queensland Corrective Services representative yet so many staffing challenges cut across organisational lines. I really appreciated hearing different perspectives to management and also gaining a deeper self-awareness of communication preferences as we analysed out DiSC profiles.

“The Performance Conversations sessions run by IML have been received really well at DES. Participants found the content engaging, practical and extremely well delivered. IML have taken the time to really understand our organisation and the facilitators do a great job in meeting participants where they are at in their learning journey. In addition to this, IML are very responsive, have great attention to detail and are great to work with.”

The pilgrimage from corporate to entrepreneur has not been without its challenges or rewards and my ten-year Membership with the Institute has contributed immeasurable value to this journey. The Institute has provided me with access to diverse connections, mentoring opportunities; hearing from interesting individuals on stimulating topics and enabled me to be part of a larger management community.
