Feedback on the impact of Compass

”Thank you – Supporting women is so important and this really helped us to come together so we can lead in this area across the University. We now have a framework that can help us be even stronger as a collective force in changing the path for women in academia. I highly recommend this program to teams that are looking to develop women at all levels.

Lisa ScharounHead of School – School of Design, Queensland University of Technology

”I really don’t know of any other program where you are able to get such a fundamental mind shift in the way your leaders think, work and operate. It’s of great value to any business.

Rebecca BottomleyHead of Training and Adoption Solution Advisory, SAP Asia Pacific & Japan

”Thank you for the guidance you have provided to the team and indeed to me personally over the past two days. It has been an enriching experience on a number of fronts and gives me a language and framework within which to understand what I have felt and observed for some time. But importantly – also a concrete approach to addressing some of the challenges and converting them into opportunities. Thanks again for the difference you have made and I expect you will continue to make for us as a team and for each of us personally.

Monika LancuckiHead of Training and Adoption Solution Advisory, SAP Asia Pacific & Japan

”I couldn’t recommend the internal Compass program highly enough for leaders considering internal training. The Compass program adds something over and above what other trainings do. It’s the element of emotional intelligence and values-based decision making which brought teams closer together.

Malaya TollFormer Director Utilities at SAP Australia & New Zealand

”Fabian was incredible. Her breadth and depth of knowledge were incredible, and I loved her empathy throughout the program. Her ability to help the group see things differently was nothing short of exceptional.
