Having skilled and productive middle managers means the strategic vision and direction set by the Board, CEO and Executive are realised effectively and efficiently.

Having engaged and confident mid-level leaders means more value being added to the business’ bottom line.

These middle managers demonstrate their worth tenfold. Many middle managers however see themselves as the meat in the sandwich: and they don’t say this as a positive nor say it this politely! Middle managers are perfectly positioned to inspire down, collaborate across and influence up.

I recently worked closely with Sally on a keynote she will be delivering. What I loved most about working with her was the thought and time she put into crafting a content-rich experiences-based talk. She comes with a wealth of experience and all of her stories and examples are highly relevant. What I loved about her delivery was the fun, conversational way she connects with the audience. Sally is one of those exceptional speakers who can makes every person in the audience feel she is talking directly to them.

Sally says her wisdom is for middle managers but her smart thoughts and questioning nature really helps everyone examine their problems, motivations and create their own solutions. She does this with such a lightness of touch you sometimes don’t notice she’s done it. She’s remarkable. Book her to speak then book her to train. She’s fascinating.

Sally recently spoke at our Teachers Matter Conference in Brisbane. She was fantastic; knowledgable, engaging and skilful. She led our teachers through understanding their personality types and that of others, to ensure they have the skills to work together productively in teams. Participants laughed, learned and had great aha moments. Thanks for being a joy to work with, entertaining, organised and fun!
