BartonRoss Future Leaders Programme:

An insightful and practical leadership development programme. I came away with real and tangible actions that I could immediately put into practice. Great career boost. Thank you Deborah, Johan and team! Mark Paul, Head of PMO, Avanti Finance

This intensive, fast paced, high energy, scenario testing centre was challenging, fun and provided unprecedented insight for me and my career growth. The output, apart from the experience, was a detailed strengths, weaknesses, development, opportunity growth plan that provided a solid, clear path to success. I commenced coaching with Johan after the Assessment day, using the output report as the basis for my growth. Gavin Silva, Partner, KPMG

I thoroughly enjoyed the BartonRoss Future Leaders Programme. The Assessment Centre really tested my capabilities across many different aspects, and I came away with a greater awareness of my own limitations. The feedback report and follow up sessions were accurate, confronting, and informative. I was also given the tools and confidence to address these to continue my growth. Looking back on the Programme, the day session really shines an accurate light on the ‘day of a leader’. It pushed me to think differently and adjust my approach as the unexpected arose. Since completing the Programme, I regularly reflect on my learnings as I apply them daily. I couldn’t endorse this Programme enough. Shaun Dornbusch, Senior Consultant, The Property Group Ltd


Leadership Coaching and C-Suite Support:

Deborah has been a fantastic coach over the last 12 months. Using the results of the Life Styles Inventory tool, and later the Emerging Leaders Programme, Deborah helped me design a targeted development plan which has brought clarity and focus to my development as a confident and balanced leader. I believe this has played a significant role in my recent promotion to Director. I have no hesitation at all recommending Deborah to anyone willing to be challenged to better themselves as a business leader. Nicholas Moss, Partner, KPMG

Deborah ran a culture review and upwards feedback for our management group. Deborah helped us plan the exercise to ensure we asked the right questions and would be able to benchmark the information going forward. I was very impressed with Deborah’s ability to be comforting or challenging as the circumstances warranted. Her reporting was excellent, big picture for the Board but detailed where required for the CEO and team. Alan Brame, Board Chair, Make-A-Wish Foundation

Deborah and Johan have been coaching various members of our leadership team since 2015. Using a range of tools, they are able to identify opportunities for people to develop in both their professional and personal lives. As coaches they understand and respect the various stages of each person’s leadership journey while challenging us all to become better leaders. The quality of coaching is important; however, the quality of the partnership with BartonRoss is equally important in terms of the impact of the coaching. As a direct result we have seen a number of business and personal successes and overall, we benefit from improved leadership confidence and competence across our team. Wayne Crowley, Managing Director, The Property Group Ltd

Our group development sessions had such a significant impact at the time, and continues years down the track.  We found the process really useful, to not only build self-awareness but also awareness of one’s team mates.  I Would totally recommend BartonRoss and the group development sessions to other organisations. Jodie Tipping, CEO, Cucumber Digital
