““The Movigo Group has invested heavily in its people this year, providing leadership development programs to the management team and then development programs to the future leaders of our business. This has included staff from across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, as well as our leaders in our BPO operation in Manila. This investment has been driven by our CEO James Tonna recognising that investment in our people is the best investment we can make. The feedback I have had from our staff about their training has frankly been astounding. The staff have been effusive in their praise of both the training provided and Paul Mills and it is incredibly rewarding to know that this investment will benefit these staff as they continue their career journeys, and no doubt help to support and drive the extraordinary growth that our Group has achieved and continues to target.””

“I have had the benefit of working with Paul for a number of years of now. In my previous role as the General Counsel of a large data and credit reporting business (Veda Group Limited), Paul’s valuable input and executive coaching facilitated my transition to an executive role, helping me navigate through a number of transitions and help build an important and valuable function within our business. Paul also coached some senior members of my staff helping them transition from subject matter experts to business leaders and trusted advisers. This was invaluable. ”
“Paul was engaged by me at Fairfax Media in New Zealand for over 4 years. During this time, he ran our Senior Leaders program, which saw approximately 200 people participate and all have reported positive feedback about Paul. They have also raved about the benefit they have received from the individual coaching from Paul. He also ran Leadership sessions with our Executive and other management teams in the business which focused on the team and the individual. These sessions have been run to a high level and have been the most value-add sessions that I have seen operate at the Exec level.More recently, we have engaged Paul at New Zealand Health Group, running the Foundational Leadership Program for 16 senior leaders. The program was a great success, and we are now moving to offer the program to other leaders in the business.Paul has got a style where he gets to know the organisation and what the key issues are and then can add insight from what is happening in the wider business world. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Paul, and he is a person who is at the top of his field, and a person who I would recommend to any Executive/Management teams wanting to improve their performance.”
“I initially engaged Paul as an executive coach when making a transition from working in leadership roles in the public sector to establishing my own consultancy practice. Paul’s understanding of the interaction between public and private sector entities and cultures has been immensely valuable. Most important for me however is the ethically driven approach to business that Paul brings to our executive coaching sessions. I have been both supported and challenged by Paul in the development of my consulting practice and as my business grows so does the depth and sophistication of our professional relationship.”
