Testimonials

Eddie Paterson FAIM, internal executive coach, telecommunications company.

“I chose Leaderskill Group for our 360 degree feedback program for two main reasons. On meeting with the Director, Dylan Forbes, I realised he was very accommodating and easy to work with. The tailoring capabilities were fantastic and second to none! 

“All team members who participated found it easy and commented how well it worked. The process of customising was seamless and perfect. Feedback from all team members has been positive and extremely useful for their future development plans. I have recommended the department continues running the 360 survey on an annual basis.

“Satisfaction with the work we did together on the survey for the department was so positive that I introduced Leaderskill to another department.

“The flexibility in reporting tools, Leaderskill’s positive attitude and the fact that they’re open to change are the most important factors in choosing Leaderskill Group.”

Victoria Elgott, HR Project Manager of a major Australian bank

“Great site - with a lot of articles that helped me understand what a 360 can really be."

Kate Simpson, Program Manager, Fortinberry & Murray. Australia.

"Leaderskill Group has assisted our strategic planning with their Mega Planning methodology for over seven years. In the article we co-wrote, I estimated that Defence Consulting had saved between 5 and 8 million dollars – without counting the savings of our stakeholders, including government – just on the redevelopment of the historical Randwick Barracks site in Sydney."

Peter Hoskins, Principal, Woods Bagot

“Having been the recipient of other 360s, it was great to find one aligned with the way I think. It has unique strengths. I think the instrument does a great job of gathering and presenting information in a way that connects with the individual.”

Liz Reyer, Consultant-Coach, Minnesota, USA.

“Congratulations! I'd totally forgotten that I wasn't dealing with a completely embedded tool run by a conglomerate! Because it certainly seems as smooth as that - which is a real credit to the site. Only, with your website someone actually answers your tech support email!”

"...what better way to look at one's self than through the eyes of the people you rely upon to get the mission accomplished? The 360 Review Program was so successful for us, that we rolled it out to our entire Organization [Gallery Division], providing an opportunity for all staff to contribute, and for all supervisors and other key persons to benefit from the feedback in a way that enables everyone to plan effective, targeted improvement, on a structured basis. Now we are using information gleaned from the 360's to
build Individual Development Plans (IDP's)...”
