Qualifications and Experience
‘Lead From Within and Win Your Inner Game’ - Maree Harris
Qualifications
Maree completed a primary teachers’ training course upon leaving school, and 18 months later took up a post-graduate travelling scholarship to study overseas. Upon her return she went on to teach in the secondary, tertiary and adult education sectors. Later she did undergraduate study at Latrobe University. She followed that with a Degree in Social Work at the University of Melbourne where she was the top student in her final year in Practice with Individuals. She commenced her Masters there but transferred to RMIT and to a PhD where she drew together her extensive experience, writing a thesis on Being A Reflective Practitioner In An Age Of Uncertainty which received high praise from her examiners.
One examiner, Professor Bob Hodge, wrote: “This is a superb thesis, well written, highly original both in argument and conception, taking risks yet carrying them off. Its scope is such that most candidates would have supposed that they had to narrow it down to a single focused topic, but it is this scope which proves so exciting and illuminating, as it is developed in this thesis. I thank the candidate for providing so satisfying, thought-provoking and inquiring experience, and I congratulate her on her achievement.”
Experience
Maree's 18 years in her own counselling and psychotherapy practice gave her extensive understanding of the interpersonal challenges people face when dealing with change in their professional environment. In 2005 she opened People Empowered to focus on transforming people into empowered leaders through Soft Skills enhancement.
