Testimonials
Level Up is a great book for every leader who is moving up a level and needs to stop doing the work of their team. Full of practical advice and check lists, immediately actionable.
I have been reading Maree Burgess's latest book Connecting US today. It's so practical and hard to put down.
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.
It has been a pleasure working with you. I found your style warm while holding me to account, and appreciated your ability to keep me 'on task'. The tools we have added to my toolbox have been extremely helpful not only for me, but also for my team when I have shared them.
Your coaching has supported me to transition from a place of self-doubt through to one where I feel more confident in my ability, and my vulnerability. Thank you.
Maree has been my business coach and mentor over the last year. Her caring nature infused with business acumen and coaching methods has inspired and empowered me to grow both personally and professionally. She modelled a high degree of business professionalism with a personal touch. Receiving business books in the mail was such a treat and the flowers I received on my mother's passing was special, unexpected but so appreciated. Thanks Maree for your time, dedication and care.
With Level Up, Maree has addressed what can be a challenging time in a new leader’s life by providing them with a handbook for success. Every chapter is filled with practical tools, checklists and activities to help them level up from being a contributor to a manager and leader. A must read for any new manager who is stepping up from their technical excellence and wants to develop leadership excellence.
I have known and worked with Maree Burgess for over 15 years. In that time she has been my personal coach and she has never failed to get results for me.
I have put her forward for work with some of my most valued and valuable clients and she has delivered every single time. Her experience, knowledge and investment in her own professional development means that Maree gets the job done with grace, calmness and expertise.
It was a wonderful opportunity to come together as a team and dedicate the time, with great learning and ahah! moments for us all! Thanks Prof Michael Cardew-Hall, Anthony Pages and Frank Papa for prioritising and creating this valuable experience for us, and thanks Maree Burgess for your facilitation and subject matter expertise.
Hour Of Power with Maree Burgess.
Thank you for your eloquent and articulate insight Maree. I have filled pages with the content we covered in that conversation. A few of the stand-out 'A Statements' are communication styles, gentle utilisation of NLP, knowing your audience, understanding feedback is not always comfortable and that is ok, why we make the word choices we do. Thank you so very much for your time today. I found it incredibly valuable.
