Testimonials
Deese coached my leadership team for the last two years during a challenging time of change. I've witnessed a huge transformation in leadership capability that then flowed across the whole business. Deese's direct approach, mentoring and understanding our complex business and people has directly attributed to two very successful years where we achieved double digit growth and exceeded KPI targets including our employee engagement scores. For personal growth, developing teams and improving leadership, I cannot recommend Deese highly enough.
- Nima Abrishamchian, GM and Finance Director
I credit the success I’ve had in my career in part to Deese’s coaching. She always takes the time to really understand the person, the challenges and is not afraid to ask the difficult questions. Her approach is considered, forthright but always empathetic and she gives you a suite of practical tools or techniques you can use on daily basis.
- Steve Uphill, Executive Art Director
Deese is incredibly intuitive, a wonderful listener, and highly pragmatic and has found her calling as a coach. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that without Deese, I would not have been able to make a smooth transition into my Global Program role and deliver it successfully.
- Jackie Elias, Director & Business Transformation Leader
Deese worked with senior leaders, focusing on developing leadership behaviours to create positive transformational change. She has a personalised and practical approach and delivers effective and sustainable results. Deese provided a safe space for leaders to open up and address difficult topics to allow true reflection and personal growth. Personally, she helped me develop self awareness in my role, challenged my thought processes and motives and empowered me to develop long term behaviours to perform better as a leader.
- Joanna Smith, HR Director
The coaching I received from Deese was without question the most impactful of my career. Clear and practical guidance delivered with consideration while also pulling no punches. I only wish I had worked with Deese earlier in my career.
- Gary Paterson, Studio Design Director
I considered Deese to be instrumental in improving many of my leadership skills. I found her to be a great listener and in turn was a great coach. The 1-hour sessions seemed like 5 minutes.
