The impact Colin has made on the team has been very rewarding professionally and also achieved our intent to increase adoption of broader internal stakeholders for deeper ongoing engagement and account planning.

    Rebecca Moroney, Director, Strategic Transformation, VMware

  • Refreshing, reinforcing, encouraging, cajoling, inciting: I felt all these things while learning how high character and high expectations can both be achieved. Thank you Colin!

  • Colin delivered a session for our senior leadership group on building vibrant cultures to absolutely stellar feedback. We thoroughly enjoyed his enthusiasm, humour, candidness and diligence.

  • Colin created a fun, engaging, exciting and almost party atmosphere through his session and yet we created our team vision, agreed our behaviours and went away with personal development work ons. As one of my senior leaders said, we’d achieved more in a single day than his previous organisation had achieved in 6 months!

Client Case Studies

Transform your
Culture with Colin

As a renowned global culture consultant, Colin partners with organisations who want to be professionally recognised for their cultures. These organisations are looking to retain their best people, attract high performing talent and consistently deliver results. They want to be resilient, competitive, innovative and react quickly to ever-changing conditions.

Unlike traditional consultants who often tell you what you already know and then fill your workspace with people providing generic advice, Colin takes the time to understand the unique dynamics and aspirations of your culture and teaches your people how to ‘do’ culture for themselves. This approach not only builds trust and knowledge, it can also save you millions of future dollars as your people learn how to positively evolve culture for themselves.

Colin’s customised learning experiences don't just improve engagement and results - they provide practical information on how to put values into action, reignite passion for productive work and generate higher performance through a renewed sense of purpose and belonging.

These experiences implement culture change swiftly, yet gracefully and sustainably, helping people to connect, collaborate and reach their potential. This creates happy employees who are committed to team success.

The time for culture change is now.

Contact the team to schedule a call with Colin to discuss how you can start the process of change.
