These representative leaders are fortunate to have her with them on their journey and she’s about to become my executive coach too. I know Toni will continue to add great value within our business.

Toni facilitated a half-day workshop to reset the team to work together more cohesively and cooperatively. Toni sought feedback from each team member prior to the workshop which was a valuable input into the workshop and in establishing a Team Charter. The team provided very positive feedback about the workshop and Toni’s style – she created an engaging and supportive environment where everyone contributed and reinvigorated themselves.

I have had the opportunity to receive coaching from Toni in recent months. I’ve benefited enormously from the knowledge and experience that she shared so generously and with such passion. I can see the changes already in my own performance and am enjoying the chance to apply new skills and new ways of thinking in order to better enhance how effective I can be in my role. She was able to tailor a coaching program to my individual needs and instinctively understood where I was at, and where I wanted to be. I can’t recommend her highly enough

Toni is highly recommended as an executive coach and mentor. She has a valuable ability to recognize, understand, and explore the complex business relationships that we operate in and has helped me to gain insight into my thinking, and most importantly, my interactions with my stake holder community. The journey has been challenging, sometimes surprising, occasionally painful but always insightful. Toni’s mentoring has provided observations, opinions, and suggestions that has made me a more effective leader.

I had my thinking challenged and had an A-HA moment on driving cultural change and taking responsibility. 10/10 to Toni for the leadership program. The language she used, creating whole room engagement, and keeping the content relevant, interesting and insightful was fantastic.

The thought and planning put into the program was great. Often people don’t feel like they can speak up because they aren’t comfortable but this was great where people could be really open. We addressed current issues in our business eg: culture, change management and I can apply the concepts we learned to our current realities.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Leadership Development Program. I’ve taken a lot of learnings that I believe will have a positive impact on my team and the business. Toni has been excellent.

Working with Toni Courtney has allowed me to reconnect with myself and begin to enjoy who I am once again. The flow on effect from this is the positive attitude I now present at work and at home. Toni’s tips have given me a new perspective on my work and home life and I am now managing both of these areas more effectively and with enthusiasm and new found energy. Thanks Toni for all the assistance and new tools that you have provided me with.

As a new Manager within a growing team and organisation Toni’s leadership coaching came at the perfect time. Toni delves deep down into leadership and has an adaptable, warm and positive approach. I found Toni encouraged me to look at who I really wanted to be as a leader. Toni asks the hard questions and at the same time is a patient and understanding guide. The coaching sessions were a reminder that leaders must always carve out time to work on their self-development, be conscious about how they show up and for us all to get out of our own way. Any leader is guaranteed to be enlightened by Toni’s coaching purely because of who she is and the knowledge and information she imparts.

Toni has provided me with valuable insights, constructive feedback and strategies that have been invaluable in helping me accelerate my growth and development as a leader. Toni has also provided me with tools that are extremely valuable in understanding the psychology behind people going through change in the workforce and how to support them through disruption. She is a supportive and thought-provoking coach and I greatly value her guidance, support and her capacity to map out practical, business-relevant solutions. Through working with Toni, I have become more self-aware, confident, and better able to lead positive change within my organisation. I’d recommend Toni to anyone wanting to take their performance and leadership to the next level
