Testimonials for Shelley Holmes
Challenged To Do Things Differently
Shelley's firm but supportive approach forces us to face those things about ourselves we'd rather deny and helps us understand how these are the very things limiting our potential. While we can find 101 excuses why things aren't working, Shelley refocuses us on discovering the truth behind every situation. In doing so she throws down a powerful challenge to do things differently and create new realities through personal growth. The combination of no-nonsense adviser and spiritual mentor makes Shelley the perfect guide for those ready to undertake a journey of discovery. Marie Dunn, Director Culture & Change, Rowland

Changes to Your World View
Each individual is different and everyone has a different perspective.
That's what makes life interesting.
We start with our view of the world
and sometimes get confused when everyone else doesn't agree with our
own perfect logic. When you are in your day to day action you don't
have time to think. In leadership there is often no-one to go to, that's where Shelley
comes in. Shelley asks the questions that you don't ask yourself.
Shelley changes your view instead of what's happening to you to what
are you doing to make it happen to you.
Shelley challenges the
self-delusion you sometimes use to justify not doing something.
I have personally grown by working with Shelley and each session I take
away a new pearl to add to my collection. She has helped me understand
myself better. I know the whole world responds to how I choose to react
to it

New Level of Confidence
I thought you'd be interested to hear how the material we covered with you in August has improved my ability to discuss business. In particular, it has helped me to manage some challenging conversations and personalities by not getting defensive and understanding that people can jump to false conclusions if they haven't had the time to digest fully the complexity of what we do. It was empowering stuff and has given me a new level of confidence and subsequently allowed me to set higher professional goals. Thanks again and keep up the good work. John Swinburn, Learning Strategist, Talsico - Inspiring Learning
Appreciating Own Uniqueness and Valuing Differnces of Others
Shelley was helping us get to know ourselves a little better and that if you are going lead and influence others (whether it is in your work, personal or community life) you need to understand yourself first. How you deal with things that come up, how you work and live with people and what your strengths are, were all going to impact on your success as a leader.
One of the most powerful learnings has been that who am I is not right or wrong. It might be different to how someone else is, but different is just different. Each of us are unique and it would be boring and limiting if we are all the same (and not much fun either). Throughout the programme Shelley has helped me appreciate my uniqueness and made me much more confident about what is me.

Stepped up a Level
Leadership development is not always easy and requires lots of self evaluation. Shelley makes you feel at Home with this 'risky' part of learning. I found the Breakthrough Leadership teleseminar course an excellent resource for stepping up a level; the format, the resources and Shelley's great teaching style all make for an enjoyable, insightful and efficient way to really develop - Thanks!
Kelvin Blair, Site Manager, Alinta Energy

More Centred in Work
Well, where do I begin to describe the value Shelley has given to me?
A sensitive and caring listener, a challenging and enlightening
questioner, a provider of new ideas and resources to support me, always
giving more value than promised.

more centered in my work with clients.

a dependable supporter and a personal cheering squad!

Changed Direction In Life
Spending just half an hour a week on the phone with Shelley was enough
to bring about a changed direction in my professional life.
All of those critical things that I had learned over the years, but
forgot to practice were brought back into focus. Shelley helped inspire
me into action in a number of areas and I am certainly much more
effective for it.
Bruce Duggan,National Safety Manager, Sandvik Mining & Construction

ensure her training sessions are effective and also fun is amazing.

Clear Direction = Moving Forward
Shelley has a knack for helping you look inside yourself - I
now have a better understanding of my strengths as well as the areas of
my life where I'm my own worst enemy.
Coaching with Shelley has motivated me to get clearer on my own
direction, and assisted me to take some significant steps forward along
that path.
Alison Gray, Network Manager, Powerlink
Unleased Potential
The impact Shelley Holmes has had on the way I view life continues to
be one of the most rewarding areas of my self development as a father,
a partner, and business owner.
The human spirit is full of dreams, ability, and unfulfilled potential.
Working with Shelley for the last 18 months has confirmed this without
doubt; Shelley has helped me find the keys to unlock those dreams and
abilities as well as helping me have courage to make the choices that
allow me to start the journey to fulfill that potential.

From Rigid Communication Style to More Engaging
By gaining a stronger understanding of my own character type, feelings, strengths, goals and things that truely motivate me I have gained a higher level of self confidence and belief in myself which will assist in my achieving both personal and business goals. I have always had a strong communication style but have moved away from being rigid and directive to being more engaging and caring which has already enable me to be more approachable.
I really have enjoyed the Breakthrough Leadership Telseminar Series Michelle Donnan, Brisbane
Group Got The Best Out Of Themselves - Ever
Shelley is really gifted in drawing on a huge volume of information and making it concise and pertinent to the issue at hand. This goes for one on one or a group environment. As a trainer our group unanimously thought it was the best session we had ever done. From a self development point of view many of us dug deeper into ourselves at this session than we had ever gone before with family or friends. Shelley's planning is thorough but she is able to remain flexible and adapt to where the group is going to get the best out of themselves at that time. She has a unique style that allows everyone to feel comfortable in expressing themselves but doesn't pull any punches when it comes to the core issues ... non judgmental is probably the key word. Scott Wright, National Leader Flight Centre
Control Your Own Destiny
When I first met Shelley, I was immediately struck by her vibrant personality and infectious enthusiasm. Shelley is a dynamic person whose energy and sincerity is inspirational, and you cannot help but be influenced by her positivity and her belief that we all have within us the ability to take control of our own destiny. She is easy to follow in that direction. Chris Horwood, Team Leader, Southcorp Packaging
Life Changing Decisions
I started coaching with Shelley through 2 sessions that were given to me by a colleague. I was keen to improve myself both personally and professionally, but was sceptical of what personal coaching would do for me. My two sessions turned into 6 months of coaching that has ultimately led to a dramatic improvement in my quality of life.
Working with Shelley gave me the confidence to make some life changing decisions to achieve the work-life balance that I desired without forsaking being who I want to be professionally. She helped me to define my personal boundaries and life priorities; two things that guide me through every major decision in my life. She taught me to look deeper into life's challenges and tackle the cause of the issues rather than the symptoms that are sitting on the surface.
I am now well on my way to creating the lifestyle that I want for myself and my family. I have a renewed enthusiasm to everything that I am doing. Life is great! Thanks Shelley.
Mark Wales, SMS Management & Technology, Queensland
Refreshed and Enlightened
The Breakthrough Leadership Telesminar course has allowed me to understand there is a different way of leadership, and that it is ok to be myself and allow others to be themselves. People are different and do things for many reasons, they are not right or wrong, they are different.
I would highly recommend the course to leaders who are at the stage where they need some personal guidance rather than the traditional management training methods. The course has been refreshing and enlightening with a very personal approach and wonderful support from Shelley. The weekend summit was fantastic with a different insight into peoples personalities, strengths and weaknesses. It is all about self awareness and Shelley was able to demonstrate this throughout the course continually and with enthusiasm.
I just wanted to say thank you, that you have been truly inspirational! Narelle Carter, Brisbane

Shelley has excellent presentation skills with the ability to facilitate the involvement of all participants. Her presentations are practical, motivational and she has a wonderful skill in influencing people into action. Marie Lismore, Quality & Learning and Development Manger, Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceuticals
