"Alexie has once again delivered a fantastic workshop- every time it has been extremely helpful and the takeaways are priceless "
Michelle Wu"I have been fortunate to have worked with Alexie over the last 12 months in which time I have developed a greater awareness of my management style and what matters to me as a leader. Alexie has also helped me adjust my ‘game plan’ whereby I am more deliberate in my approach and can be more effective in raising the performance of myself and my team. This has meant I can be more confident and enjoy the results! I have valued Alexie’s expertise, candour and care in the way she has coached me. I recommend Alexie for those serious about improving their leadership capabilities. "
Steve Harrison, MSAC"We initially connected with Alexie to carry out a piloted leadership development program for our middle-management team... feedback received from the team has been overwhelmingly positive. Alexie created an environment where they felt vulnerable, were able to connect as a broader team on a deeper level, foster collaboration, trust and partnership as well as holding each other accountable. I see their learnings applied daily throughout my interactions with them and their increased confidence shines through in their leadership styles. I really look forward to continuing this program in 2024 with Alexie."
Victoria De Gennaro"Alexie presented a workshop on Emotional Intelligence and Proactive Leadership to over forty of our leaders at an annual leadership conference. I was able to partner with Alexie to align on the desired outcomes from the session. Alexie was incredible! She was warm, created a calm and inviting space, fostered vulnerability and our team left enthused, empowered, and better equipped in their leadership skillsets. I continue to see them practice self-awareness and self-regulation throughout their daily interactions and utilize their learnings to motivate their teams. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with Alexie moving into 2024.
Carol Nazha"Amazing! No words for Alexie! She has brought so much knowledge and experience. Simply life changing"
Branca, HeinemanN"Alexie has been a mentor to us over the last couple of years and I feel very lucky to be able to draw on
her wealth of knowledge and experience. The advice and
guidance she has provided over the recent years has been invaluable and an important part of
the growth of our business. The advice and mentorship from Alexie is something that we now seek at
every significant stage of our business - whether that be in relation to commercial decisions or the people and culture at our growing company"
Vera Wan, Co-Founder, Nimble Activewear"Alexie has been a mentor of mine since her time at lululemon Athletica and had a huge influence on my decision to both create my own business (Own Body Mobile Physiotherapy) and shape it in a way that puts employees first. She is passionate about enabling great success with an ethical approach. She has guided me with tools to help achieve our more traditional business goals (revenue, growth, profit etc) with my desire to create a company our team love to work for. Thanks in no small to part to Alexie, Own Body has seen a growth of 40% or more year on year since 2009 and we are proud of our extraordinary retention rate. Specifically, Alexie has taught me that by hiring the right people and understanding what drives our team, we can reward and motivate them to be be top performers and create long lasting goodwill towards the company.
