“These courses helped me identify my personal brand and how this translates to my business. Thought-provoking and practical, it was also helpful to brainstorm ideas and find collaboration. She left me with tips that she herself embodies. A great example of what she teaches. Learning how to articulate what you do and why you do it helps you pinpoint your point of difference. Carmel is on board every step of the way, thoughtfully processing your needs as you go.”

“I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for the two networking training sessions you have run for us over the last two weeks. I know I personally got a lot from them, and I know from talking to the others that attended, everyone else did too. They were run in a very enjoyable format, and the concepts you introduced were related back to ASB and how we do business. A very successful formula.”

-Allan Bean

“Carmel recently ran an inspiring Networking event for the FGC emerging leaders where she shared her top tips for networking. She highlighted the importance of networking through her shared experiences and gave attendees some tools to use to improve their networking skills. Thanks Carmel your knowledge and personal experience was fantastic for our Emerging Leaders!“

-Facilitator

“Carmel came to our hotel to have a one-on-one training session with me. I dread having to get up, perform in front of others, feeling judged and stressing about what they are thinking rather than being myself so this format worked for me. Carmel's 'Building Brand YOU in Business' course was amazing. I learnt more in this session than any of the other things I have attended because I was relaxed. I actually enjoy networking now.”

“Really enjoyed the group activities. Made the workshop engaging and the content more memorable. Presented by someone external to the company gave an outsider's perspective.”

-Rachel Wakefield

“Carmel is a skilled networker and able to authentically train others on how to network effectively as she has been there, done that! I enjoy her relaxed, professional manner while providing useful techniques and tips which I was able to take away.”

-Allison Fisher

“Carmel has a real gift for connecting with people. She connects people with others where she sees mutual benefit and interest. What makes Carmel a particularly skilled networker is her genuine interest in people. She networks for the right reasons - not merely to help herself, but rather to assist others.”

-NZ & AUS Director

“The workshops I took with Carmel have really opened my eyes to the importance of connecting with people in a positive way that has developed me as a person and also greatly assisted my business. The focus has been on reaching out to others with connections having reciprocal benefits – look for ways to help others grow their business too and then they will remember you!

Carmel is a polished professional. She knows her subject matter intimately and is an excellent teacher. Her courses are practical, informative, well prepared, and she promotes a relaxed open environment which encourages discussion and debate.”
