I have worked with Maree in an on-going professional relationship for an extensive period of time. She provides a service that empowers the individual to extend herself and risk beyond the mindset of perceived possibilities and potential. Her style is collaborative, supportive and creative within a values based context that is respectful to the client. Maree is committed to the journey of the client, challenges static thinking, behaviour and attitudes and is perceptive, passionate and skilled in supporting the client in achieving success within a process of reflective practice and change.

Maree has coached and supported me through several changes in career, one of which was a complete change of career. Each time she has supported and empowered me to define my vision, skills, capabilities and potential. I had to stretch to take the risk of new directions and challenges. She also helped debunk self-perceptions that were blocking the way forward to a better position of self-belief. In doing so she helped me believe that all of these opportunities were possible and well within my reach and scope.

In summary, Maree provides a reflective, proactive environment of support, challenge and encouragement that explores the potential of the individual.She is able to work with her client to help them change goals into reality with a clear, dynamic process that encompasses both soft and hard skills. She understands the business context, challenges and advantages of the global world and has integrated this knowledge to help my professional change and transitions. I would highly recommend Maree to anyone needing a coach who understands business and the skills needed to manage the complexities of today's world.

Maree, thank you so much for the People Empowered email newsletters you send out. I have found these personally very useful in 'finding the way forward' when in tricky situations and fantastic tool to assist with personal growth. I also send these onto my team members who I am sure get a lot out of them as well. Many thanks and please keep them coming.

We approached Maree Harris of People Empowered to assist us with our Professional Development program. Maree was fantastic in working with us to develop a 'soft skills' program and was more than willing to customise sessions to meet our needs. She made sure she understood the profession and the challenges for developing less-technical aspects of the CPA's role in a busy workplace. Her delivery style is very engaging and she uses examples that we can all relate to in our own working lives to demonstrate her point. Maree's sessions have been a welcome addition to our Professional Development calendar!

Maree, thank you for your regular newsletters. I find them to be very uplifting and motivating in a sometimes tough world. They personally give me a boost and there is always a gem that I can apply to my personal life as well as my work life. I like to forward them to work colleagues who share the same struggles and who seek to gain something extra out of life. Once again thanks.
