“I have engaged Rebecca Martin to run quarterly workshops for our leadership team. Her course design, commercial experience and ability to engage the whole team is outstanding. She takes the time to really understand not only our business, but also our people. The workshops have been thought provoking for us as leaders, with tools that can be applied to our business straight away. She is professional and enthusiastic and I have no hesitation in recommending her.” Mike Lightfoot CEO - Milmeq
“Rebecca has completed a number of engagements with Orbis ranging from executive coaching and personal mentoring in a one on one capacity to facilitating team workshops with groups of up to 15 people covering various briefs. Rebecca is totally committed to achieving excellent outcomes and are naturally aligned with the ethos of our firm. Her experience, wisdom, understated intellect and down to earth approach has been well received within Orbis and we appreciate their contribution to the development of our people.” Lisa Boyd Head of Fund Operations (Sydney), Orbis Investments
“Rebecca developed a 12-month Leadership Program specifically tailored to the needs of our business. She took the time to understand the Childcare environment, integrate the curriculum with the National Quality Framework and build a program that would develop our Directors, Management team and Room Leaders. It was terrific to see the passion, commitment and progress within the team during the 12 months. We have continued to have Rebecca coach within our business for over the last six years as her contribution is invaluable. Thank you for your wonderful approach and your ability to reach out and relate to our child educators as well as you do.” Alison and Mark Wharton Directors, Kindalin Early Childhood Learning Centres
"Shift Happens was the best investment I made when setting up my new business, as Rebecca steered me on the right path to achieve success early on.

“I engaged Rebecca Martin to facilitate an important strategy day for our Executive and Sales Leadership teams here at Xtime. Through her internal team and independent external research, her care in understanding our business issues and appreciation of our cultural nuances, she developed a rigorous agenda, but most impressively delivered out objective in one day – respecting our most valued resource – time. Rebecca has a great understanding of business and can focus the participants on what is important. She was instrumental in getting buy-in from all team members and secured consent for actionable next steps before concluding the day by “amazingly” summarising the activities during the few brief breaks. I would highly recommend Rebecca for her commercial acumen, excellent facilitation skills, and ability to engage all participants. ” Corey Roberts Senior Vice President, Sales, Xtime USA
“I approached Rebecca initially because I’d reached overload. She prompted me, supportively, humorously and with style, to prioritise my work and non-work goals. I made choices which restored my life’s balance. I then sought her out for her expertise in preparation for, and conduct of, complex negotiations. Firstly, I had a particularly tough case which required an approach to a multinational company for access to financial results to support my client’s hard-fought Federal Court litigation. When that was successful, I then asked her to be my guide to prepare my practice for sale and to be my back-up as I negotiated it to the line. She is big-end-of-town experienced, professional, skilled and positive in her approach. She will walk through fire with her clients.” Anna Kerdijk Nicholson Lawyer
“We wanted to develop a bespoke program to contextualise our current business environment, and to use it as background to encourage our people to reimagine the business in the future. Rebecca was particularly effective at making sure we focused at the right level. She developed an understanding of our business and its context and developed and delivered a tailored program for a broad group of our senior leaders, which set the focus for our Leadership Offsite. Feedback was very positive! We enjoyed working with Rebecca and I have no hesitation recommending her to other organisations.” Mark Horton Andrews General Manager – Executive, Australian Unity Investment
“Not only is Rebecca incredibly approachable, personable, and professional, but her guidance is sound and sensible with a high regard for my personal growth. She has consistently encouraged me to strive for success in all areas; for many achievements, I credit Rebecca’s involvement.” Bronwen Adams Channel 10
"We engaged Shift Happens to conduct training across the two agencies. Rebecca took the time to understand the business, the people, their roles and their daily environment and work pressures. As a result, Rebecca really delivered the desired outcomes for us – awareness, education and (most importantly) practical applications. Her delivery of the training was energetic, engaging and matched the culture of the agency so she really connected with the team. Feedback has been great - the team derived enormous value from the content but moreover, really enjoyed the session." Helen Graney CEO
