“Our family organisation is trying to plan for the future and how the fourth generation might transition into the role of future owner operators of the company. It is no easy task especially with it being a family business. Dirk has been a great help in taking the emotion out of the situation and to help us keep focused. He has been steering us through this period of change management, enabling us to establish key clear objectives for ourselves and the organisation. Dirk has brought clarity to the situation, especially as the organisation begins to evolve over the next few years. His impartial advice continues to be a great support to us.”

“Dirk is without doubt an outstanding executive and I would welcome an opportunity to work with him again in the future. A strong strategic thinker and willing and able to contribute broadly across an organisation. Also operates well at the Board level. Highly respected by his staff (and very missed) as he communicates clearly and decisively. Always willing to help his colleagues and is very dedicated and loyal to his employer. Dirk is a very well rounded and professional executive. He is also a darn good bloke with strong values, morals and trusted.”

Michael Ebeid, CEO – SBS Australia

“Dirk is an exceptional Executive coach who ensures his time with our staff is career enhancing for the individual. He has worked across all parts and levels of our business. His coaching style has created more emotionally intelligent and skilled staff who then accelerate reaching their business goals. I highly recommend him.”

Ben Parsons, Southern Cross Austereo

“BBC Radio Devon’s audience has now had three consecutive quarters of growth. Meetings are useful and efficient. We have increased our community engagement. We only do things which improve our audience connection. Dirk worked with us to find new processes and strategies, which maximise our potential and enable us to deliver clear and measurable improvement with our team. The result is a self-sufficient, focussed and proactive team where things get done. Dirk brings a fresh ‘outside’ perspective and good counsel.”
