Testimonials for Dragon Sisters

"Michelle would have to be one of the most inspirational people I have ever known. In the 10 years that I have known her I have heard her address all sorts of different forums and the impact that her words have on people is amazing. One example which I will always remember was her acceptance speech at the Telstra Business Woman of the Year in 2005. She spoke unscripted and from the heart for close to half an hour, bringing many, many of those present, people from all walks of business, to tears with her passion for what she does and her unswerving belief in helping others.

In her life Michelle is constantly juggling business and community responsibilities with so much energy and determination. She is an excellent strategist, sorting options, assessing priorities and simplifying issues so that the best pathway forward becomes apparent.

Michelle has great people skills, able to get the core message across to so many different people and has gained support from many areas of the community. She is comfortable within herself and this allows her to interact well with everyone she meets.

However I feel that Michelle’s greatest gift is that she is not only willing but keen to use her skills to help others. In business life it is rare to find a person with high levels of both strategic and interpersonal skills. It is a rare person who is also passionate to use these strengths to help others to succeed".

Business to Business Services

"I have my own consultancy and recently branched into a new field which was outside my own area of expertise. It was great to get practical advice and some great new ideas for my business from someone knowledgeable in the industry I am moving into!”
Sarah, Migration Lawyer, ACT

“I think Dragon Sisters is a fabulous facility because it has real value in the services it offers. To get advice/training from a professional business consultant of any sort costs around $340 an hour. For some people such fees just aren’t viable either personally or as a business. So the Dragon Sisters mentor & coaching programs and workshops offer very affordable and accessible solutions.”
Lyne, Corporate Marketing, Qld

‘Dragon Sisters coaching has helped me with my business in practical and visible ways. I put the techniques into practice and got amazing results – I got four appointments with new clients all in one afternoon! I was so excited I had to ring up my DS coach and tell her: “wow! This really works!!”
She was really pleased, although, she didn’t sound the least bit surprised herself!’
Karen, Business Development Manager, Qld

“Just wanted to say THANKS and WHAT A SURPRISE it was to find my face staring out at me in the latest Darwin Life Magazine - wow! Reading it makes me sound so together!!”
Subject of Dragon Sisters journalistic ghost writer

"I have been a full time Mum for the last 6 years and just started a job which I was very nervous about! My new job is a business-to-business role. Coming from a nursing background, there was a steep learning curve that I had to get to grips with quickly. I got tips and techniques that I could put into practice immediately and I think my new boss is quite pleased! I certainly feel more confident now too.”
Tracy, Sales Support, Qld.

It was not so long ago that Tuscany was on my “places to visit” wish list and just a pipe dream that I had ... If you choose to attend the Dragon Sisters Workshop in Tuscany, you would not need to worry about anything as all will be provided and coordinated by the fabulous organisers.
Tuscany - always a good idea and definitely worthwhile!
