"I was fortunate to have had several very productive sessions with Sue Montgomery recently. I found the experience to be far more than I imagined it might be. Not only did I get some great coaching from Sue, teasing out matters arising in my work, but in the process, I have developed some coaching skills of my own and I have seen some definite positives in my working relationships. One of my favourite outcomes is the change in how I reflect on my own experiences, honestly assessing myself and challenging myself to be a better leader/team member "
- AMANDA WALKER | TVET PATHWAY SPECIALIST | TAFE NSW
"Sue Montgomery is an incredibly natural coach. Her innate communication skills and deep interest in human potential are supported strongly by a depth of experience in personal, business and corporate levels. This powerful combination allows her to connect, challenge and support her clientele, on both a personal and professional basis, to achieve their desired outcomes."

"I also recently engaged Sue to conduct ‘Leader as Coach’ training for my team. Sue’s authentic and sensible style has helped our team to develop leadership skills that has empowered them to grow as leaders. The ‘Leader as Coach’ training has been very successful for my team and I thoroughly recommend Sue to anyone looking to provide fantastic professional development that leads to positive results."
- JULIE BOARD | DIRECTOR | TAFE INDUSTRY SERVICES | 2013
"Going into Leader as Coach I was unsure of the benefits I’d gain given I’ve had a lot of experience managing teams and believe communication to be one of my strengths. I was amazed at the insights that surfaced as I was working through the program and came out the other side with a whole new way of approaching my interaction with others. Thanks, Sue for making learning feel as easy as having a good chat!"
- EMMA FITZWILLIAM | IT PROJECT MANAGER | PMHC
"I got so much more out of this experience than I expected. This program took me to a much deeper level... It has been an absolute privilege to work with Sue ...she is extremely talented in her profession. The program has been of great benefit to me. I have increased awareness of how my approach can negatively impact others, I am much more engaged in collaborating and I can see that my relationships have improved already as a result."

"Thank you for facilitating such a powerful coaching session. I came out feeling empowered, confident, authentic, and dare I say, even strong. I confronted an issue that I haven't been brave enough to before. I dealt with challenges confidently and honestly."
- ALEX MILLER | LEARNING RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT MANAGER | NORTH COAST TAFE
"Sue Montgomery came into our lives, and into our business, at just the right moment. Sue and the team are a wealth of knowledge and instantly made us feel at ease. With their help over the course of 12 months, we set and achieved goals that were once way beyond our comprehension and learned to live and work harmoniously. Coaching has been the best investment in our present and in our future - the best investment in our business."
- BEN WATERS AND SAMANTHA CLARK | OWNERS | PC PITSTOP
"I found Sue’s guidance particularly helpful from a work perspective. There were several difficult issues that had reached an impasse. Working with Sue gave me a number of useful techniques, self-awareness and courage that once implemented, drove a positive outcome, both for me and my employer. I would happily recommend her services to anyone."
- ANDREW MAINWARING | IT MANAGER | ESSENTIAL ENERGY
"Sue has been working with me to build my confidence and assertiveness in the workplace. My role can be highly emotive and I have to deal with people from all walks of life. Sue challenged and supported me to step outside of my comfort zone and speak to people I work with that intimidated me. Using my new skills, I was able to actually build a positive relationship with them and gain their respect."
- CHELSEA EDWARDS | ABORIGINAL HEALTH EDUCATOR | NSW COMMUNITY HEALTH
"I just wanted to let you know that I have been invited to present at the 2013 Buunji National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Conference - presenting in an area in which I would never have even considered prior to coaching. Many thanks for your wisdom and brilliant coaching techniques, there is no stopping me now!"
