I have been to a few ‘Time Management’ workshops prior to Maree’s presentation. Utilising reference to associated research and a practical approach to professional aptitude, Maree’s presentation offered me an enormous opportunity to refocus my personal conduct and share practical tips with colleagues. I can confidently recommend Maree as a highly competent presenter on this important topic.

Pleasant Street Primary School engaged Maree Harris to work with staff members to develop their Emotional Intelligence levels. We initially wanted to develop a shared language around Emotional Intelligence with all staff so that we could have meaningful and productive conversations. Maree was able to provide a workshop that had us look at and understand our own emotional processes and triggers. The session was so well received and the participants were so positive that we invited Maree back to work with other teachers and our Education Support staff, as well.
The staff really appreciated having a professional development session about their own growth, as most are about the students’ growth. They also recognised the benefit to students of staff participating in this type of professional Development. Our staff now have the shared language to facilitate mutual growth conversations as well as processes and methods to follow to continue our growth in Emotional Intelligence. Maree’s manner was both intellectually and emotionally  stimulating, she was able to model the skills she was advocating, an excellent learning process. We recommend Maree’s workshop to any school or business where human relationships are paramount and that certainly pertains to the teaching professions.

I attended Maree’s workshop series – How To Be A Successful Manager From Day 1. These workshops were very interactive and made me aware of the soft skills that are required in today’s workplace (in particular the professional services industry).  Maree’s ability to engage the audience in open discussion was a highlight for me. I was able to take a couple of “key points” from each session and implement them at my workplace. Maree’s commitment to personal development has inspired me and she continues to mentor me on my personal journey. I would recommend Maree to anyone who is looking to stand out from the crowd with their soft skills.

I recently attended Part One of the "Create the Career YOU want workshops" which Maree ran. I found the workshop to provide a great way of thinking about what you want to achieve and how to achieve it. She provided a different way of thinking about goals and how to overcome obstacles. In addition she provided a structured worksheet of how to plan out your goals and provided resources and strategies to assist with remaining on track.

The philosophies and methods that Maree advises are sound and empowering. To say this is because they are rooted in common sense is by no means damning her with faint praise for two important reasons. Firstly, one of her greatest strengths is her passion for inspiring others to enrich our selves and professional, social and family communities by communicating with integrity, effectiveness and purpose. And secondly, Maree is one of those rare people who practises what she preaches.
