Over the last three years we have worked with Siebert on a couple of occasions as we have looked to make our business more commercial following its conversion ... into a State-owned Corporation. Most recently Siebert has helped work through a bottom-up strategic planning process. This has involved small regional meetings with senior and middle level managers and finally a two-day workshop involving 90 of our staff in Sydney. The process Siebert has run for us has worked particularly well. He has enabled meaningful engagement by our staff, collated their ideas where useful but able to diplomatically keep things on track where more speculative. Importantly he has very skilfully reworked our Vision, Mission and Values into a new Statement of Purpose and Values utilising a wide range of input from the organisation. He worked closely with myself and my senior management team throughout the project which has produced a bottom-up plan that we as senior management are happy to sign off on and take to our Board. It has been a very worthwhile process.

Having had the benefit of his consultancy and expertise in my previous senior managerial corporate role at a listed ASX group, Siebert was one of the first ... people I turned to when I established my own company.
His advice, which I have continually sought out over the last 10 years, is always considered, insightful and practical.
Siebert has an unmatched ability to not only understand the overall strategic goals of a company but to understand the individuals within, and then help management chart a course for the business while also unlocking each individual’s own potential.
Siebert has, both through his direct interactions and through the leadership advice he has imparted on myself and my senior team, ensured that our entire team feel connected to the goals and direction of our business and motivated and empowered to achieve.

Siebert facilitated my team planning day and it ran like a well-oiled machine from start to finish. His use of story-telling, visual imagery and engaging ... activities challenged the team to think and act differently. The pace was high but we never felt rushed. There was a good balance of practical activities interspersed with management theory and lots of laughter. We moved fluidly from one activity to the next – steered and supported by Siebert.
It made me realise that the difference between a ‘good’ facilitator and a ‘great’ facilitator is huge. Siebert’s professionalism, knowledge and passion for building better teams are evident in his facilitation style. He has a way with people that instantly puts you at ease and makes you want to participate.

Siebert brings a very structured but versatile approach to change management and mentoring that is engaging, encouraging and thought provoking. He is a very ... values-focused person who seeks to improve your performance because he wants to, not just because you have asked him to. He tailor makes his approach to suit your style and comfort zone, although he will use the opportunity to stretch your reach and vision and get you into a place where the not so comfortable but important issues are dealt with in a meaningful and productive way. I always looked forward to my time with Siebert over the three years that I had the good fortune of involving him in my work life.

I have recently had the pleasure of developing a series of videos for awareness and training on koalas within Forestry and for the industry contractors with ... The Being Group.
The whole experience was very professional. The team was a pleasure to work with and all showed genuine commitment to the aims of the video. The filming days were scheduled and managed professionally. The coaching of those in front of the camera was respectfully undertaken to get the best results. The final products are outstanding.
The high-quality productions are fantastic and will be a resource utilised well into the future. The high-quality photos are also a fantastic resource for ongoing promotional activities. I have received great feedback from the targeted audience and other staff members on the high quality and value of the videos. I sincerely look forward to the next opportunity to develop something similar to promote aspects of the ecology of the forests and the forestry industry with The Being Group. Thank you for your help.

I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for a great Benchmark course, I thoroughly enjoyed it and got a lot from it professionally. After past ... experiences, I backed away from wanting to manage people and be in a position of leadership because I didn’t think I had what it took. I now realise after completing the course that I just didn’t have the right tools and knowledge. I’m now inspired to become a leader and manager again and can’t wait to put the knowledge into practice. Would you happen to have a PDF version of the Benchmark workbook that I can keep digitally for future reference? It was a pleasure to meet you, and I hope to see you again soon on one of the Masterclasses.
