Business Team Workshops
Attending Amanda and Terese's Human Design workshop in Sydney was a transformative experience for me and my leadership team. The workshop provided invaluable insights into our individual human design maps and how they intersect with the dynamics of our team.
Through a separate follow-up session, we then focused on high-performance team attributes, and where our team either had opportunities or improvement areas, gaining clarity around future action plans.
The workshops facilitated a deeper understanding of how we can optimize our team's performance by leveraging our unique characteristics and fostering better communication.
Since implementing the strategies learned, we've noticed a significant improvement in our team's collaboration and operating rhythm, leading to tangible success metrics.
​
As a leader committed to fostering a positive and collaborative culture, I highly recommend Terese and Amanda's expertise to anyone seeking to enhance team dynamics and drive greater success."
Business Team Analysis and Manager Analysis
The analysis that Amanda provided has personally enhanced my self-awareness and helped to identify personal strengths and weaknesses in a way that has never been presented before.
I found the framework to be enriching and informative and it will help shape both my personal life and career ahead.
As a manager of five at State Street Global Advisors in Australia, I found the analysis powerful because it helped me to understand each team member at a distinct level.
Intuitively I always knew that we had a wonderful team with complementary skills but this helped me articulate how and why we work so well together!
It’s been a really informative exercise that helps to prepare me for the future.

Comprehensive Career Analysis
My BG5 career consultation provided incredible insight into who I am and how I contribute to the world professionally. It was validating to have my conscious strengths and characteristics confirmed, but more importantly, the ability to uncover and appreciate my unconscious characteristics was profound.
Although I had never heard of BG5 before working with Amanda, I am so incredibly grateful to have this additional insight into how I move through, and operate, in the world.
It has given me permission to trust my instincts, understand my decision making strategy, and relate with others. I now embrace this knowledge in my professional career as I now know my strengths - what I can truly rely on - and what I should leave for others to contribute.
This coaching has also been immensely valuable when it comes to engaging and relating with my family and friends. I highly recommend this coaching with Amanda.
Business Team Analysis & Manager Analysis
As the Chief People Officer leading a team of six direct reports, the consultation with Amanda has been of enormous value for both the team and I. It provided me with a deeper understanding of the individuals in my team; insight into how to best support and motivate them; how they interact with each other; and what the default group dynamics really are.
I now feel more equipped to nurture their strengths, and not focus on their 'perceived' weaknesses. I am more intentional how I distribute the work (pairing people for projects etc) and importantly, have identified current skill gaps so future recruitment can be more targeted and effective for the benefit of the team, and firm.
As a manager, the consultation was more nuanced - the focus was the purpose of my life work, core themes of my design, my individual strengths, business skills and contributions I make. Having it explained where I am taken off-track was particularly eye opening and I resonated with the information. The advice I have already implemented has been invaluable.
It is a framework of people analysis that was new to me, but highly beneficial. I am very pleased to endorse this consulting for managers and their teams. I now feel empowered to maximise the talent I already have, and will continue to consult with Amanda as my team evolves into the future.

Manager Analysis
I was fortunate enough to stumble on Amanda's profile whilst doing some research on BG5 and was so intrigued that I decided to book a Manager Analysis with her.
I was already familiar with Human Design but understanding how I best operate in business and group settings has been invaluable. With her guidance I have been able to learn how to operate in alignment with my individual needs and understand how I show up when I am out of alignment.
I have also been able to better understand each of my leadership team's unique career designs and how they operate when they are in alignment and when they are not. This has been particularly helpful when making decisions around having the right people in the right roles which has in turn improved the productivity and outcomes of the team.
I'm really looking forward to going deeper and learning more about BG5 and how it can transform our entire organisation. Thank you Amanda!
Comprehensive Career Analysis - Entrepreneurs
As a small business owner who has started too many businesses and have found it hard choosing a passion to focus on, I found my sessions with Amanda invaluable. She has helped reinforce that I’m on the right track and has made me realise how perfectly suited my current business is for me.
Since my sessions, with Amanda I have completely changed the way that I market my business and as a result have had a constant stream of ideal clients coming to me instead of me chasing work.
Simple tweaks to my operating systems and language have meant that my workflow has become sustainable and enjoyable and I’m no longer constantly in battle with myself. I no longer struggle with imposter syndrome as I shifted my offerings in line with my skills and values. I am now performing at my peak.
I feel enlivened and empowered in my role and confident that I’m delivering the best services that I can and am now charging my worth. Simply put, I’m no longer in the hustle phase of my business after six years. I have more time to do the things I love and I’m working with clients I adore. It changed my world.
Additionally, Amanda is a delight to work with. I feel uplifted and encouraged after our sessions and I'm so thrilled she's part of my business support network. I highly recommend her consulting services and career coaching to anyone at any stage of their professional life. She is worth it.

Andrew Turner - SSGA
Thank you for the analysis! It was great and I learnt a lot about myself and the best ways for me to work and learn. Understanding that I prefer to work around others felt true the moment you said it. The clarity that I require a clear road map has been helping me work more efficiently. I’m trying to plan my days more effectively instead of my usual ad hoc approach. Coming out of the analysis I felt a greater sense of self, as well as relief.

Charina Star - Sendle
The BG5 information is totally accurate for me! It's made me realise how I can work and learn more effectively, and has helped me appreciate myself and my uniqueness even more. I am very grateful for the consultation.

Ivor Kay - SSGA
This analysis was insightful, realistic and useful - resonating at 9/10! It reinforced that trying to be someone I'm not and fighting my instincts is frustrating and fruitless. The application of my decision-making strategy - to waiting to respond, then check with my gut has reduced my tension greatly.
​
Rachel Adams - Sendle
The most valuable advice related to decision-making - it felt validating to hear that my style can include a pause for assessment, which is not equivalent to indecisiveness, and has given me huge confidence.
