“We have been associated with Donna for several years. She has initially engaged the Eduloan Executive Committee to explore individual and team branding. The value of this process compelled us to extend the programme to our entire senior management team. We found this learning intervention provocative and challenging with practical application to improving our individual and cumulative team brand and can attest that we have seen a significant positive deflection in the consistency and quality of our messaging in our chosen market. As we prepared for our 2014 strategic planning session, we realized that there was a tenuous and non-deliberate alignment with our ultimate company purpose, brand messaging and organizational value. With her exceptional facilitation over the period of a couple of days we arrived at a one- page document that provided more meaning, clarity, and personal ownership. Our management team unambiguously understands how we support value co-creation through our key strategic outcomes. The simplicity, not discounting the complexity of our current context, that this one document embodies has indicated our key areas of performance and has renewed our efforts to be market focused to start producing the types of customer experiences that would make our service legendary. Donna is personable and builds relationships with an ease that has endeared her to Eduloan. The relationship is not transactional; she really cares and invests disproportionately in making sure that we challenge ourselves to produce some of our best thoughtware to date! Her willingness to make use of her networks for our benefit makes our evaluation of the value that we have derived from our partnership a major contribution to our potential growth. She has an intuition that borders on guru calibre in connecting the right individuals and organizational capabilities so that we can accelerate our organizational performance.”

“I have a brutally honest team, and I must say that they were all delighted with the session, the feedback was extremely positive – in fact it was 100% positive – and this is a first! It was practical advice, excellently delivered that will be of major benefit to me as well as my entire team. Donna was extremely professional, and the material was practical, clear, and concise. I would confidently recommend the Branding & Marketing YOU intervention to others.”

“It was amazing to have Donna integrate into our Sales Training session. Up until Donna spent a day with us on Team Branding, we had been down a long road with the Sales Teams in terms of how to work together more cohesively, respectfully, and effectively. Donna received feedback from our Clients and Channel partners but had very little interaction with us before then. It was amazing therefore that she was able to engage with us at the level she did, basically “she got us” and was able to successfully gain trust and deep input and participation from the team. It was remarkable to see how everyone participated. Donna managed to lead us together where we all collaborated to achieve our shared vision and goals, in order to reach our objectives.”

“Once again you turned me from a sceptic as to the value of external facilitators to being fascinated at your ability/technique to draw out sound and valuable content that will not only assist in developing a pointed and relevant marketing strategy for the team but also provided some real insights into the current strategy gaps and some solutions for our business.”

“My team’s workplace health index (internal employee satisfaction) was 92%. You definitely played a role in driving such an awesome result. Thank you!”

“Donna’s branding intervention with our Enterprise Strategy team ignited an intense awareness of the importance of personal and team brands, and a strong appetite to manage these brands in a much more intentional manner, but always grounded in authenticity. The long-term impact has been primarily observed as positive changes in our teams’ behaviour and habits that impact our team and personal brands, and also very favourable feedback of stakeholder perceptions internal and external to the company.”
