Client Stories

Hey Chris - not to be dramatic but so many of us have found your sessions life changing already. Thanks for creating a safe space and the practical advice. I felt such a difference in confidence this week already going back into my usual day to day work chaos lol!

I did one of your courses with Wesfarmers. Best 2 days I have ever spent learning something.

Chris, I want to reach out personally to say how much the sessions have meant to me over the last couple of weeks. In my previous job, I had a manager that really had a problem with me. He would put me down about the way I speak and the way I communicate. No matter how much I knew they were his insecurities coming out, it still made me very self conscious of how I sound, especially as my voice stands out due to my accent. Since the Sessions I am significantly more confident! I have had three meetings in the last 2 days with customers and I was very confident, authentic and the outcomes have all been great! It was important for me to let you know how much it’s meant. I think I’ll look back in years to come at before/after and recognise it as a defining moment in my career! Thank you.

Account Manager at Cisco

Thank you for your time and patience in guiding us in improving our presencen a very sincere, ih iumorous and enjoyable way. Personally, I didn’t just feel that I benefitted from knowing how to connect with people  better, but also got some personal coaching to be even more confident of whom I am. I walked out of this 3 day workshop feeling energized to take on the world with a different view of myself, no more excuses of an introvert. Nothing else has changed but me, my confidence and the realization that the heroic attributes I always admired in Derek Kidley was but me. That’s a shocker!!!! I was initially apprehensive about what the 3-day course entailed, as it took giving up a lot of time and making up for lost time with night meetings and emails. Yet, now, as I reflect, I am so grateful that I did make the time. Thank YOU!

Sincerely,
Irene Liu
Director PwC

Just dropping you a quick note to say THANK YOU! I applied your techniques and received great feedback that I improved tremendously, especially in engaging the audience over the past 2 days doing a roadshow in Manila speaking with the central bank and bankers association etc. To share an example, at the meeting with the central bank, the layout was quite intimidating, u-shaped table formation with table mics between every pair. I decided to stand up and own the space (though i was so nervous and had to handle both a handheld mic and clicker!), used stories instead of reading what was on screen, and guess what? I could make a group of stern faced regulators laugh!  Thank you for making a difference in my life! I really appreciated the masterclass training. Whilst I still have a long way to go, your training really helped boost my confidence and I’m determined to keep working at developing a strong executive presence. I’m so excited about taking things up to the next level now

Regards,
Catherine HS Lee Partner PwC

I consider myself fortunate to have been apart of your programs over the past decade. They have helped me mature and hone my ability to communicate, and be true to myself and those around me. So thank you.

Hey Chris! Just wanted to thank you again for the training and your coaching. I’m not exaggerating when I say that was the best training I have ever participated in, not just at PwC, but in my entire life. We all experience some life-changing moments where we realize that life will never be the same because of those particular moments in the past. And, this training was precisely what I needed in order to unlock my human potential and change my life in ways I always knew I could but never knew how. So, thank you - even though “thank you” doesn’t seem to do it justice when I think about what you have done for me.

We have put our sales executives and most seasoned sales and engineering people through his program. The consistent feedback, and it never fails, is that it’s the best program they have experienced in their professional career.  Our Senior Vice President for global sales has made it a mandate that all our hi-potentials as well as our executives in the organization go through the program this year.

“When you are in a very public role everything you do and say will have an impact. Every word and every expression counts. When you speak your brand either lives or dies. To be a strong leader in these circumstances you need to have an uncommon energy that drives you and keeps you going no matter what challenges you face. Chris helped me find my authentic voice and the confidence to stand up, not only for Twitter as brand but for what I believe in. His direct and articulate nature ensures we arrive at the right place for every important engagement.

“I spent a week of learning at the INSEAD campus in Singapore. Chris Morsley was a guest facilitator in persuasive communication skills. After the day spent with Chris I gave him one of my top scores ever. Second only to the score I gave the Professor who predicted the global financial crisis.”

Our clients seek out a coach who can engage with leaders at the highest executive level. A coach who can help leaders find their voice, evangelise their brand and communicate effectively when the stakes are high. Chris has worked with individuals and groups of senior executives at Wesfarmers for more than 10 years. In that time he has been able to help leaders who were already competent communicators to raise their effectiveness. He has helped leaders communicate with greater clarity and impact, to make what they say change how team members think and operate as a consequence. In addition, our leaders think differently about themselves and their role as leaders (that so much more can be accomplished, and greater performance achieved). Chris has helped our leaders align teams behind clear goals and messaging that brings them to life. At an individual level I have seen leaders, who have been uncomfortable with communicating, step into their own authentic presence with Chris’ guidance. It is both practical and extremely powerful.”

I personally want to thank you for helping me improving my personal skills over the last couple of weeks. I learned a lot, about myself and about the team, which is incredible. I am feeling much more confident after the journey with you and the team.

Hi Chris, Once again, thank you for your amazing coaching and training. It was by far, the best personal development course I’ve ever done in my professional work life (which spans nearly 30 years). Definitely a course I would even love for my own kids or anybody wanting to unlock the secrets of how to communicate not just effectively, but to win the hearts and minds every time every time we interact with others.

Thanks Chris!  Nick and I spoke after the coaching session and we both had such fun and could not believe how fast time went!  Then I had a Marketing Industry call with a whole heap of UKrew in the afternoon and I switched my video on….Lauren joked and asked if I was practicing my on- screen presence so I said – hell yes!  At the end I had one of the team pipe up asking where they can sign up….so I said as soon as Chris pays me comm to sell this course, he can sign up for sure! I had our Sales Director write in the chat how well I presented myself!  And then after that, another one of the sales team also switched his video on….so we started a thing

Bloody Amazing Session. Thank you so much. It was hands down the best presentation I have seen in years. I took so much away from it and I loved your closing line about using Cisco as a platform for your purpose. Sheer gold. Well done and thank you!!

Presence, connection and the ability to inspire others to action are essential tools for leaders. Chris uses great experience, insight and empathy to enable a person to lead through personal and public communication. His work proved to me that presence, connection and inspiration don't have to be innate (if they ever really were) They can be learnt and practised. It's also a lot of fun
