Simone Loveridge, Governance & Risk Coordinator, Mildura Rural City Council
"Mandy has provided me with professional guidance and support for over 10 years. Her leadership experience in community service, corporate and technical industries, has demonstrated her capability and adaptability in leading and developing individuals and teams across multiple disciplines.
Mandy assisted in navigating our team through the forming, storming and norming stages shortly after I became team leader. We had been through many changes which resulted in feelings of uncertainty and confusion amongst the team… we were in an identity crisis. Mandy’s expertise in organisational development and improvement, along with her thorough and patient approach, allowed us to navigate the necessary steps to achieve clarity and unity in our purpose and mission, identify areas of improvement, and work on a plan towards getting these achieved. We became a high-performing team as a result of this process, and we were often approached to provide advice and support to other teams going through a similar experience.
Mandy’s mentorship and coaching has been instrumental in my professional growth. She has the ability to analyse situations, provide constructive insights, suggest techniques to overcome challenges and most importantly, coach and empower you to determine your own path. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her guidance and support."
