Testimonials

Many coaches will just tell you what you want to hear. They're fun to be around but ultimately there is no challenge and no progress. Maree is the opposite. A softly spoken and lovely warm person, she also has nerves of steel and is not afraid to challenge you when it's clear you need it. Maree helped me to make a big sale today that looked like it was going to be lost forever. Her wise counsel helped me hold my nerve and stick to my true value. I can't thank her enough!

Thanks Maree, I have really appreciated your experience and guidance over the last few weeks. It’s come at a perfect time in my career where I need to take some time to assess my next step. 

You’ve helped me to take a different perspective and have given me the confidence I needed to move forward and make decisions about my career. I really feel I was able to reach a position of clarity about the future (whereas before, the various options and pros and cons had continued to be tossed and turned over and over, with no conclusion or end in sight). 

It really is true what they say, sometimes you just need a little help and a different perspective to find the answers within yourself.

Thanks again, I’ve really enjoyed working with you.

I have been really privileged to work with Maree as my executive coach.  Maree has really taken the time to understand me first.  Maree asks questions and without bias lets me come up with the answers that have enabled me to understand myself, my own behaviours, bias and style more and how this knowledge leads to better outcomes and more effective interactions with others.  She has helped me adapt and expand in both my personal and professional life.  Having an aspiration and a vision is one step yet the path to make this important and meaningful enough to make a real  difference is more than what I expected when I first approached Maree.

I am really thankful as I know I am a better leader in practise and leader in thought as an outcome of my coaching sessions with Maree.  I now have regained clarity of purpose back into my every day.

Maree Burgess has  provided me with valuable and expert coaching during my recent career transition. Working with Maree has helped me to: 

• Clarify my professional and personal dreams and goals
• Recognise less helpful thinking and behaviour patterns I have indulged in - and quickly develop more resourceful patterns
• Articulate my strengths, knowledge, skills and experience clearly, succinctly (and successfully) in job applications and interviews
• Find the mental space and energy to boost my professional learning and growth; my work with Maree led to me undertaking further study for a Master's Degree.

Maree has developed a coaching relationship with me based on trust, warmth and high expectations of my capacity for growth. Her coaching helped me shift into a proactive and positive mindset, and has led to some interesting and attractive career developments.  I highly recommend Maree Burgess as a professional coach.
