Michelle’s effort, energy and enthusiasm for growing our extended leadership team (through a lens of Enterprise Leadership) was off the charts. I couldn’t recommend Michelle more highly and have no doubt Workwear Group will benefit for a long time as a result. Thank you Michelle.

I have no hesitation recommending Michelle Rushton to any organisation seeking to develop the leadership capabilities of their executive and senior leadership teams. Michelle developed a bespoke program for our Executive Leadership Team at Camden Council after engaging with the team members and running a diagnostic analysis of potential issues and opportunities.
Michelle’s engagement and facilitation skills are exceptional and through the People of Influence program I have evidenced a significant uplift in the performance of our executive leadership team.
General Manager, Camden Council
We have had so much positive feedback on the conference, it’s very encouraging. Regarding People of Influence specifically, you must be so tired of having people constantly raving about how amazing you are.

We are all still buzzing. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with our day being rated ~9.7/10 by our leaders as an NPS indicator in our post-event survey.
