“Georgia and her team did a fantastic job running feedback workshops across our whole company. We found the Can We talk team professional, communicative and on the ball in the preparation for the program. We also appreciated the openness to adapting the program structure both before and during the workshops.
Georgia had great energy as a presenter and the content was practical and effective. She engaged everyone across the team, from those online right through to senior leaders.
As for real outcomes, we saw a 19% increase in our engagement survey on the question of managers giving positive and gap feedback. We’ve also had positive feedback from our team on what they learnt and evidence of it being put into practice.”

Yvette Ladzinski, Teacher – Wyndham Central College

Lots of techniques brought together into something cohesive. Highly recommended.”

Georgia is a great presenter who is lots of fun, but more importantly is an absolute pro in keeping people on track and on topic. Well worth it.”
Lauren Kilby, Resource Requests Team Leader – University of Melbourne Library

Lynn Chin, Manager – Deloitte

She worked with us to design a Brilliant Communication” workshop, and also to up-skill our internal team to deliver the training ongoing.

Charlotte Holden, Brand Strategist – Beyond Blue

“I’ve learnt a lot in a short space of time thanks to Georgia. Mostly that feedback truly is a gift and that giving and receiving it generously is one of the greatest things you can do for the people you work with. Folk engaged Georgia off the back of an engagement survey where people in the Folk design studio highlighted the opportunity for us all to get better at providing meaningful and timely feedback. Georgia brings a solid evidence based approach, combined with straight talking and friendly delivery, to break down barriers and get people rethinking their communication and engagement. 5 stars to you Georgia.”
Michael Broadhead, Managin Director – Folk

“There are not many people in the world that can tell you that – you need to improve, you did that wrong, pick up after yourself – and make you feel good at the same time. It is a rare skill and still more rare that they can actually teach you how to do just that as well.”
Graeme Strange, Managing Director – Readify

“Georgia provided great insight into our business and the strategies we would need moving forward. She quickly and professionally identified the key areas which would help drive the next stage of our business or identified which areas would become distractions and assisted to make sure these areas did not consume the most valuable thing we had, which was ‘time’. Because of her insight, a new avenue opened up to the business which has now taken our business in a direction we could not have seen without her considerable input.”
Anthony Parton, Genreal Partner – 643advisory

“Georgia recently delivered a bespoke course for 12 of our new Team Leads around Leadership. Georgia was a pleasure to work with throughout the engagement.

Not only was the feedback from the course excellent, but each attendee is now practicing and demonstrating behaviours learnt in the sessions.”
Dominic Price, Founder – domprice.me

“I recently attended Georgia’s one day workshop “Can we talk: having those conversations remarkably”. Georgie was an enthusiastic and engaging presenter who provided valuable tips on how to deal with those difficult conversations. I found the workshop valuable as Georgia guided us by doing “mock” difficult conversations that really illustrated the key points. I am far more confident about having these conversations with my colleagues and students.”
Susan Torres, Associate Professor in Nutrition – Deakin University

“Georgia is smart, engaging and a great communicator. She brings colour and life to what she does but not at the expense of the message and people walk away feeling invigorated but also having learned, in a practical and an applicable manner, what they needed to learn.

Nicholas Tuckerfield, General Manager – The Marketing Academy

Participants reported that Georgia adapted the activities and agenda to the mood of the participants and the knowledge gaps observed.
Houratious Albert GAICD, Delivery Manager, Consumer Rent – REA Group

It was the last session of a big day, however G’s energy and the fact that her content on “Feedback that doesn’t suck” was so relevant and highly applicable to everyone at all level meant that participants were fully engaged. There are already useful learns people can try out and we’re looking forward to more!”
Therese Wood, Commercial Training Manager – Eisai EMEA

Exceeded our expectations.”

Georgia worked closely with us to ensure that the program was setup for success and we had practical actions to establish and embed real change. The content was aligned back to situations that the team are dealing with, and covered self management, taking action, problem solving and constructive feedback. To accommodate lockdowns and travel restrictions the program was fully online, and Georgia was able to keep the team engaged, ensure that the delivery was smooth and presented the program with a mix of care for the participants, holding people to account and having fun. A great program to help us develop and progress as a team!”

In preparing for virtual performance discussions during a global pandemic, our workforce needed guidance and support in navigating feedback conversations during this unique time
Georgia brings so much energy and enthusiasm to her sessions, and turns an often avoided or poorly done conversation, into something that learners can approach with confidence. Attendees walked away with both the practical tools, and the right attitude and mindset, for approaching feedback conversations.
Georgia is a chameleon in her field and it was a pleasure having her help build this capability at DoT.”
Danielle Fancellu, Senior Organisational Development Consultant – Department of Transport

“I attended the HR Ripple Effect session – this was a fabulous program that allowed me to share experiences with like minded HR professionals and discuss ways to solve HR problems, that allowed me to gain different views. Georgia provided a safe and confidential environment to share topics and provide different ways to solve problems. I will be attending another HR Ripple Effect session in the future and encourage my team to also attend.”
Jorgina Sheehy, Senior Manager – Human Resources – Mercedes-Benz

“At Rockend, two of our guiding behaviours are ‘Talk Straight’ and ‘Care’ – we worked with Georgia to build a whole of business program to bring these behaviours to life, developing our collective capability to speak candidly with kindness.
The initial program was a resounding success, with the quality of conversations in our business improving dramatically, simply by giving our people the tools and techniques to have and receive the conversations we need to. With Georgia’s support we’ve continued to roll out initiatives linked back to the original program, and we’re well on our way to having a true feedback culture – where we can talk about almost anything in a way that builds trust and respect!
I personally enjoyed working with Georgia on the development of our ‘Talk Straight! Care Hard!’ program – in preparing for the launch Georgia was easy to talk with, flexible and she took the time to genuinely understand our business and objectives. And on go-live, Georgia’s workshop style is second to none – inspiring, engaging, candid and inclusive – all with a smile, and a wicked sense of humour.
We definitely see Georgia and her team as a partner to our business, and we look forward to working together again in the future.”
Dean Carpenter, Head of People – Rockend

Georgia made sure she fully understood our brief and business context, and delivered a session that was spot on for our needs. Her style is honest, engaging, funny, all while making you sit up and listen to the wisdom she shares in a real and relatable way. Plenty of take aways from the session and I now can’t wait to read her book!!”
Nicky Robinson, Talent Management Team Leader – AECOM

Lainie Tayler, General Manager People – Carman’s Kitchen

“After reading her book Fixing Feedback (a great read by the way), I attended one of Georgia’s workshops on providing feedback. And WOW was I impressed! Georgia is warm, welcoming, energetic and boy, does she know her stuff! Right from the get go, she set a positive and vibrant tone for the day, which ran through right till the end.
The workshop was well structured with each major objective seamlessly blending in to the next. Georgia had a great blend of theory (explained using clear and real life examples), practical activity and group discussion.
This is a workshop that truly added value to me and my career development. I picked up multiple take-away’s which I have already implemented in both my personal and professional life. Not one word of a lie, it’s been the single most beneficial workshop I’ve attended. Totally recommend!”
Hareta McMullin, People Business Manager – eNett International

“Georgia is amazing! We invited Georgia to run a few workshops at Canva and help us build an open communication culture, and she absolutely nailed it!

We enjoyed her candidness and humour, and her natural ability to engage the team – she’s an expert in this space.”
Linda Lin, Leading People Operations – Canva

“I recently attended a training session led by Georgia, which provided incredibly useful and practical guidance for managers and staff on how to have constructive conversations about critical issues, in challenging contexts. It is one of the most relevant and helpful workplace training sessions I have ever attended. I have already successfully applied the feedback/communication framework in the workplace, and will continue to do so. One of the key principles that came out of the training session – be kind and candid – is simple but really cuts through, leading to more positive conversations and a better workplace.”
Amy Barry-Macaulay, Director, Strategy & Impact – Homes Victoria

“I have had the pleasure of seeing Georgia in action facilitating and coaching our people leaders. Georgia shares her great insights on communication, feedback and just being real in the workplace with enthusiasm and passion. The learnings and energy from Georgia have stayed alive at our workplace and we are already seeing a return on investment.”
Teresa (Ebejer) Nicolaou, Organisational Development Consultant – PageUp

“My leadership team and I took part in a training day that Georgia facilitated based on her book, Fixing Feedback.
I found the training as facilitated by Georgia so engaging that the day flew by. It incorporated presentation elements interspersed with practical, hands-on sessions in groups and pairs in a perfect ratio to keep my team eager to learn.
We booked the training to help develop our feedback culture, and I feel that it has done exactly that. Both myself and my team took a lot of immediate value out of the day, and even though it has only been a short time since, I can observe my own feedback behaviours and habits shift — as well as see similar changes in my team.
I’m keen to roll out this training to the rest of my business unit in the next financial year and would recommend Georgia and her training to any organisation that wishes to improve their culture.”
Tal Rotbart, Chief Technology Officer – PageUp

“I attended one of Georgia’s “Using Your Voice Brilliantly” workshops and it was an amazing and enjoyable journey. She walked us through the importance of opening conversations in our teams and taught us highly effective techniques to make those crucial discussions as easy and as effective as possible. I believe every organisation which want to improve their culture and performance have to get consultancy from such a great mentor and get them run these kinds of workshops as frequent as possible.”
Hemen Estefaie, Tech Lead – Trend Micro

“Georgia’s workshop is thoroughly practical, cuts straight to the point and before lunch I had developed much of what i needed to start having difficult conversations. And I mean real conversations, not just in theory. Despite the hard hitting approach, the workshop is enjoyable and accessible, even with my mainly technical skill set. I attribute this to Georgia’s engaging presentation skills and down to earth character. This is worth the investment.”
Jack Sowter, Senior Developer – SixPivot

“When I first met Georgia I knew straight away that she was different. She only spoke a few words and offered a small amount of brilliant advice, but I knew she was a brilliant leader and someone who led by example.
Several months on and that feeling only gets stronger, the more time I spend with her. She has a gift, and gives that gift away everyday to industry leaders that are fortunate enough to work with her and draw on her expertise.”
Ritchie Gibson, Professional Speaker, Author, Mentor & Trainer – Leadership, Culture and Teamwork

“Georgia’s difficult conversations workshops was one of the best professional training sessions I have done. She was engaging, relatable, honest & helpful. I learnt a lot about myself & became more aware of the environment around me. The training was confronting (in a good way) & highly practical. I felt comfortable sharing with Georgia as she provided a safe environment that encouraged collaboration amongst peers. Thank you Georgia!”
Kimberley Nance, Divisional Group Manager – University of Melbourne

“The skills I picked up in this workshop were so practical and will stick with me not only throughout the remainder of my professional life, but my personal life as well. Challenging conversations have always been a weak point of mine and avoiding them has led to even more anxiety and stress. Georgia has provided me with some really valuable tools to tackle them head on, before they turn into bushfires!”
Lep Beljac, Social Media Manager – University of Melbourne

“I recently completed a pilot program constructed by Georgia called ‘Having Constructive Conversations’. Georgia is an excellent educator and coach who facilitates constructive self analysis and awareness and teaches candid, respectful, relevant communication. The pilot was a great success and I’m pleased to hear that Georgia will be rolling out her program company wide in 2016. I highly recommend Georgia’s work to any company looking to get the most from its people- she is inspired and engaging and our team is better for the experience. Thanks Georgia!”

Alastair Ingham, Director – University of Melbourne

“Georgia provided training to the leaders in my group – a mix of emerging, new and experienced managers. Georgia was tasked with providing a lot of content in two days, which whilst extremely valuable, would have been overwhelming without Georgia’s engaging and pragmatic delivery.
Every attendee came away with incredibly powerful leadership tools and an inspired level of self-motivation to use them. Which they did. And have continued to do, in increasing confidence and ability, ever since.”
Andrew Prentice, Head of Engineeting – Atlassian

“I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with Georgia through our Thought Leaders Business School. Georgia’s work in her field of Communication and Collaboration is world class. But even more impressive is who Georgia is – proactive, committed, a person of complete integrity … and a lot of fun.

If you get the chance to work with Georgia, grab it with both hands.”

Georgia facilitated a Leadership program for a group of LVMH senior leaders of which I was one. The program was excellent. Take away tools are really useful and insights into our personal leadership styles, who we are, how we react to the world around us and how we can adjust to be more effective.
I have implemented virtually everything we took away to good effect both on a professional and personal level. Georgia’s energy, honesty and insights alongside the structure of the program, a mixture of workshops and one to ones with Brett Wood allowed us to go on a journey both personally and as a group, culminating us solving a problem together.
I highly recommend Georgia and her team; they will make a difference to your organization.

Georgia brings high energy, humour and great conversation to the table and our leaders absolutely loved it. We focused on the qualities of high performing teams, our relationship to conflict and connecting with one another.

They were able to engage with the large (70) group in a way that challenged them but also made them laugh and reflect. We had a great day and very positive feedback from the group of women across the Rugby League community about the training both content and presentation style of Georgia. I personally enjoyed working with Georgia as she got me to think of things in a different way and made the Forum a better experience.”
Rebecca Doyle, General Manager People & Culture – National Rugby League

“I recently challenged myself to complete some executive coaching as part of my ongoing professional development. Having engaged Georgia previously to help out teams I knew I loved her style and found her to be very relatable so I was thrilled when she agreed to take on the challenge of providing me some coaching. Leading into the sessions I didn’t really know what I wanted but Georgia was able to suggest a variety of approaches but ultimately it was her flexibility in the structure of the sessions that delivered the most value. I loved being challenged and really enjoyed the open, ‘no BS’ style of communication, and her real world examples and references. I highly recommend Georgia to anyone looking for something similar and I’m sure I’ll be hitting her up again in the near future.”
Glen Appleton, Territory Sales Leader – Telstra Purple

“Georgia delivered a fantastic keynote to over 200 product managers at our annual product camp conference.
She took the a normally cynical audience on an interactive journey to confront some of assumptions and fears about feedback. Her disarming style, energy and humour kept the audience engaged, despite being at the end of a long day of conference sessions.”
Steve Bauer, Head of Product – Ocean Software

“When the proposal for feedback training at Airtasker was initially raised, I admittedly jumped to the conclusion that giving and receiving feedback was pretty commonsensical and something that I already knew how to do.
But after being lovingly nudged to join Georgia’s feedback training: I was blown away by how wrong I had been. Georgia combines a “slap in the face” level of energy with some profound wisdom that really cuts through and establishes the genuine motivation to prioritise quality feedback.
At Airtasker, the learnings we’ve gained from Georgia have been critical in developing a feedback culture that empowers people to do their best work, rewards excellence and ultimately paves the way for more honest, higher quality relationships.
Starting out as a sceptic, I’m now a huge fan of Georgia’s work and the leverage it can have on company culture and ultimately performance.”
Tim Fung, Founder and CEO – Airtasker

“We engaged Georgia to deliver a ‘Feedback That Doesn’t Suck’ keynote at our annual leadership conference. Georgia was fantastic (no pun intended) she delivered an entertaining and pragmatic keynote that left our leaders feeling inspired and confident. Everyone left the keynote with the tools and motivation to grow themselves and their teams through feedback that doesn’t suck! Our leaders rated Georgia as the top speaker at the conference. I’d highly recommend Georgia and can’t wait to partner with her again.”
Samantha Mueller, Head of Learning and Capabilty – Temple & Webster

“Georgia was a pleasure to work with in our “Talk More, Do More” feedback workshops. Her candid, positive and always approachable style made learning an absolute pleasure along with her always willingness to help and support attitude. If you are looking for a great way to start the conversations around feedback, highly recommend working with Georgia!”
Katherine Shoobridge, Head of People Experience Systems and Insights – PEXA

“Georgia facilitated a training session on feedback at our annual Rugby League Women’s Leadership Forum, her pre-training preparation and interest to make sure she understood the other parts of the Forum so she could ensure that their was a clear link between the learning and the implementation was exceptional. She was able to engage with the large (70) group in a way that challenged them but also made them laugh and reflect. We had a great day and very positive feedback from the group of women across the Rugby League community about the training both content and presentation style of Georgia. I personally enjoyed working with Georgia as she got me to think of things in a different way and made the Forum a better experience.”
Rebecca Doyle, Executive People Leader – Relationships Australia NSW

“Working with Georgia was an absolute pleasure! Her session was very engaging, inspiring and interactive. I left feeling motivated to “nip things in the bud” when they occur and also to “treat people with respect even when they perhaps don’t deserve it..”! I would recommend the workshop “Feedback that doesn’t suck” to anyone looking to make a positive difference to the people they work with and also to strengthen relationships with key stakeholders. Georgia creates a safe and comfortable environment to share honestly and openly, she connects with her audience in a way that can truly help make a difference to others. Thank you Georgia!”
Belinda Williams, HR Business Partner – Mercedes-Benz Financial Services

“Georgia fixes feedback! If you are genuine about building a feedback culture she should be your go to expert. Through her proven techniques, experience and energy, there’s an immediate eye opening effect on teams and the positive change begins straight away.
Robert Leigh, Head of Corporate Sales & Certified Pre-Owned – Mercedes-Benz

“Thank you Georgia for facilitating a fabulous half day workshop to our team on “Dealing with Difficult People”. The content was customised and relevant to our industry sector and the tools you provided were practical and implementable. The team has benefited enormously. Having those challenging conversations are now much easier and with positive outcomes. Flawsome feedback from our team says it all!”
Vanu Allmand, Head of Marketing – Absolute Immigration

“Georgia has been presenting to a large group of Independent Optometrists in each of Australia’s capital cities.
I thoroughly enjoyed her presentation in Melbourne.
I wish the “Life Skills” she taught us had been an elective at Uni, because then we could have been doing it right all this time.
Still, never too late.
Brilliant content, perfect delivery. What a Professional.”
Murray Nagle, Optometrist – Yarra Ranges Optical

“Georgia has run a number of Challenging Conversations programs for our managers and leaders across all different disciplines and levels of experience. Georgia has a very engaging and down to earth style that created a space for humour and fun during the learning. The program provided a great mix of theory and practical tools/skills. The follow up coaching clinics helped embed the learning and allowed our leaders to feel more confident about approaching feedback and challenging conversations. A number of staff commented that it was the best leadership session that they had attended in many years – very relevant and immediately applicable.”
Anna McCredie, Manager, Future Students Planning and Operations – University of Melbourne

“High energy, high impact, telling it how it is – Georgia’s ‘Tough Conversations’ course is enabling me to succeed on purpose as I provide quality feedback to my team and support them to be the best they can be.
The one-day course was engaging and packed full of tips and techniques that I’ve been able to apply immediately. As she draws on years of experience to help articulate the lessons, it’s obvious that Georgia has walked the walk, and isn’t just talking the talk.
Georgia is helping me to become a better leader. If you get the opportunity to learn from her, grab it!”
Giles Davis, Program Delivery Manager – Afterpay

“As part of a leadership training program, Georgia worked with us on improving the communication and how to run difficult conversations. The workshop was excellent in terms of the material, assignments and presentation. Georgia has great passion, energey and presentation skills. I can say I was able to apply the techniques with a significant improvement in both work and non-work related situations.
Thanks Georgia.”
Ahmed Youssef, Senior Consultant – Telstra Purple

She is skilled at identifying a need, and then designing an intervention that delivers results. She is a masterful facilitator and coach and most definitely practices what she preaches.”
Megan Small, National Senior People Development Advisor – BP

“Georgia conducted some brilliant and engaging sessions for our teams on feedback and constructive conversations. While they were topics that the tams had covered before in some detail Gerogia’s refreshing style and ability to “call it as it is” really resonated with our teams. We have had some fantastic feedback and can clearly see evidence of our teams translating this into action.
Thanks Georgia.”
Ross Jones, General Manager – Group Insurance – Wesfarmers

“Thanks Georgia,
I can highly recommend the course that Georgia runs on Meaningful and Difficult conversations. The course contained excellent material and our staff found it highly valuable and very practical .In particular we picked up new frameworks, tools and skills for negotiations, difficult conversations and providing quality feedback.
The course helped us prepare and deliver messages in challenging, complex situations and provided a toolkit for coaching others in preparing for, and managing difficult conversations.”
John Swadling, Director – Property and Commercial Roads & Maritime

“Georgia is a vibrant, energetic and highly-skilled facilitator who has been instrumental in helping our company improve our communication skills. Her workshops are very interactive and practical giving us the skills to take what we have learnt in the “classroom” and bring it into real-life. She takes a pragmatic approach to her training and has really listened to our requirements. We have been able to see cultural shifts in the area of open communication off the back of her training which has been great. Georgia is highly recommended by both myself and IMC!”
Melissa Banek, Head of HR at Chicago – IMC Trading

“Our strategy at Optiver is to improve the way and types of conversations we are having with regards to performance and make feedback just something we do everyday. We reached out to Georgia to help us develop and deliver our ‘Brilliant’ communication strategy. She worked closely with us to roll out this program to our leadership team first and now we are rolling it out to our entire business.
She really listened to what we were trying to achieve and the balance of theory and practice in the training was received well for all who attended.The feedback from the the attendees was excellent, with people now practicing and demonstrating what they have learnt in the sessions.
Georgia was great to work with and her energy see no bounds.”
Irene Frisby, Head of Human Resources – Optiver

“Georgia was a breath of fresh air in terms of her ability to deliver quality training content in an engaging, dynamic and high energy manner. She managed to hold the attention of a group of leaders who can disengage very quickly if credibility of the facilitator is not proven upfront. We unanimously felt that we walked away from her session with some very simple, actionable strategies that will make a difference immediately in our day to day interactions with our team, clients and candidates.”
Suzie McInerney, Chief Executive Officer – Six Degrees Executive

“I’ve been a previous colleague of Georgia’s and recently reconnected with her through her business Can we talk?
From day one she impressed me greatly with her combination of natural ability, strategic approach, energy and passion. Over the last few months, I have been fortunate enough to participate in one of her workshops in an attempt to improve my communication skills in the workplace relating to “difficult conversations”. I received a huge amount of personal value which has directly translated into measureable results including more effective conversations with my staff and an improvement in the way we communicate and negotiate situations as a team.
It comes as no surprise to see that Georgia has gone from strength to strength in her career and now set up her own business. In my view, Georgia is positioned as a genuinely elite professional with a proven track record of excellence as a leader in this area.”
Rebecca Perrone, National Manager – Adecco

“Georgia is bold and brave, innovative and pragmatic. She is a great partner for problem solving and identifying new ways and approaches to get things done.

She knows how to have the tough conversations and is a great coach and facilitator to help others to do the same.”

“Georgia was recently a plenary speaker at our 2 day insurance conference with over 150+ attendees and she presented a wonderful session about fixing feedback. She is funny, unique, insightful and brave and the audience loved everything she had to say! I received a lot of positive feedback about her talk and would highly recommend Georgia for seminars and team training sessions.”
Clodagh McCowen, State Manager (QLD) – Coles

Georgia worked with BASF Australia by giving us the tools and guidance to diagnose our current culture and hear each other’s perspectives. Together we looked at the roles we were playing as leaders to gauge if we were helping or hindering where we wanted to be. We established a clear understanding of the areas we wanted to be better at as leaders. Using that as our foundation we then turned our collective brain power to the complexities of gender inequality in our workplace and industries. Georgia lead our large diverse group through a fit for purpose pragmatic tool to see the problem from a fact based lens, removing emotion, assumptions and bias. We generated a bucket load of ideas from the beautifully simple to industry changing. Georgia guided us to prioritise and narrow our focus to the initiatives that would make the most impact and add value. Georgia enabled us to get to heart of the matters that are important to our business and our people and move to informed action quickly as an aligned team. Thanks Georgia!
Kathryn O’Hehir, Head of Business Services – BASF

It has been an absolute pleasure working together with Georgia over the past few years, I would highly recommend any business, regardless of size, to reach out to Georgia in respect to the following:
1. working better together as a team
2. being authentic
3. providing feedback and ‘nipping things in the bud’
4. establishing and maintaining open, trustful and respectful relationships.
Georgia’s style is open, fun, engaging and highly motivating!
Claudia Hager, Head of Business Operations – Tennis Victoria

It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Georgia and her team to create a series of online feedback masterclasses for our leaders. Georgia and her team were responsive and worked collaboratively to ensure our objectives were met, and Georgia’s natural warmth, humour and immense knowledge shine through in the masterclasses to make what can sometimes be a tricky topic be engaging and enjoyable. A big thanks to Georgia for her generosity in supporting our work.

Georgia facilitated a fantastic offsite with a key business area of ours. She created a session that had everyone feeling like they were involved and co-creating the day.
