Grant Dale Consulting (GDC) works with individuals and groups in an organisational setting. We help to achieve improved business outcomes by maximising the potential of people. Here is what some past clients have said about their experience:
“I have been delighted with the support provided to the Australian Civil Military Centre (ACMC) by Grant Dale and his team. Following the excellent work that he did with the ACMC using the Organisational Culture Inventory/Organisational Effectiveness Inventory tools, he followed up by delivering the LifeStyles Inventory 360-degree assessment tool. This work has made an appreciable difference to the work culture within the ACMC. It has also made a significant impression on staff individually. A number of those who participated in the survey and follow-on workshop have expressed their thanks to Grant and myself for this opportunity. Staff particularly noted how empathetic Grant was during debriefing. This activity can be very confronting and Grant delivered the workshop in a very constructive, non-judgmental way. I have noted a real difference in working relationships and the generally positive approach that ACMC staff now have to their work.”

“Grant’s knowledge of Organisational Culture is exceptional. When Assetlink wished to gain an understanding of the culture within the organisation, and how that was impacting on our performance, we engaged GDC to run a survey across multiple business units within the organisation. After collecting the data, Grant debriefed the senior executive team on the results of the survey in a truly engaging facilitated process. Not only was he able to explain the data in a very accessible way, his facilitation ensured that the whole leadership team was able to take ownership of the results. We were then ready to implement changes based on real data and a real understanding of the issues we faced.”

“Having done other professional development and coaching programs, I found that Grant’s was the most insightful, and ultimately effective. I experienced multiple ‘light-bulb’ moments that had a compounding effect. These not only improved my awareness, but allowed me to make adjustments to my thinking and responses very quickly, and the benefits were immediate and significant. Grant also helped me develop strategies which meant I was able to form and embed good habits, which helped me continue to build on the short term success, and I’ve found the program has had sustained benefits for me. It is the best development program I’ve experienced.”

“The support from coaching has enabled me to learn more about myself in six months than in years of trying work it out myself. The coach and our sessions helped me to understand situations, and learn and apply lessons to make me more effective and a better leader.”

“Grant has provided executive coaching services including a Life Styles Inventory, which I have found to be exceptionally beneficial and confronting. Working closely with Grant on my professional development, I have found him to be a consummate professional – nurturing, understanding and supportive during all our sessions. Equally, Grant has maintained a firm focus on the need to deliver on agreed actions. I am now approaching a variety of things differently as a result, which is helping realise greater efficiencies in my and my teams performance as well as my personal life.”

“The coaching has given me a life-changing experience. It has given me the opportunity to reflect on what actually defines me as a person but also to look forward and make my life changes sustainable over time. I have learnt most about my personality traits and how I can make that work best for both my personal and professional lives.”

“The coaching over the past 6 months has been fantastic! Your ability to listen to my story, understand where I was starting from and what I wanted to achieve, meant that the advice/guidance you gave me had immediate impact – that is a gift you bring to coaching! I felt comfortable in the sessions and genuinely believed that you took an active interest in my development. Thank you. At first I wasn’t sure if I wanted to undertake coaching – but something kept telling me to do it. I am so glad I did! The input of the coaching at this stage in my career has had an enormous impact and really made a difference to my well-being, productivity and leadership. I would recommend coaching to anyone!”
