We are proud of what we've achieved for our clients...
“The Converse Leadership Course has been a refreshing insight and unique perspective on leadership in our contemporary context. Combining a depth of insight from decades of leadership in the corporate and not-for-profit sectors with the latest in leadership research from global innovators, Daryl carefully crafted a challenging and compelling learning journey that met the needs of my specific leadership journey and challenges. The materials and insights I have come away with have already begun to bring about positive change, as I learn to effectively influence those inside and outside my organisation.
The practical sessions on leadership skills around communication, personal responsibility and integrity, and the cultural focus on personal values and practices that we bring into our organisation have helped me carry confidence in leading people through the challenges of change in our volatile corporate moment. I would recommend this course to anyone who already has leadership responsibilities, and for those that are seeking the challenge of not simple skills development, but personal transformation that expresses itself in leading self and others well.”

“I participated in the Converse Leadership Program, and I found it to be an extremely valuable and practical experience. The program provided clear, structured leadership frameworks while also challenging me to reflect on my own leadership style, decision-making, and accountability.
What stood out most was the relevance of the content to real-world business environments. The sessions were engaging, well facilitated, and directly applicable to managing teams, navigating change, and leading with confidence and integrity.
The program strengthened my communication, strategic thinking, and people-management skills, and reinforced the importance of strong leadership culture within an organisation. I would highly recommend the Converse Leadership Program to professionals seeking to grow as effective, values-driven leaders.”

“Really appreciative of all the help and mentoring you've given me over the years. Daryl was my mentor during the Tattersall's Mentoring Program, bringing a wealth of experience and guidance that was instrumental in my transition from military service to finance. His emphasis on defining goals and maintaining focus, even amidst distractions, shaped my approach to job interviews, networking, and adapting to my new environments. With his grounded mentorship, I successfully secured a full-time role in the Private Bank at Credit Suisse in Sydney—an achievement largely made possible by his support. I’m incredibly grateful for his advice, encouragement and mentoring.”
