What our Clients say
"Sharon tailored a solution for our company, which worked extremely well. She quickly assessed our business needs to produce a strategic HR plan and went on to implement robust remuneration and performance management systems, training/succession plans, enhanced formal executive reporting lines and provided an internal HR appointment with coaching / mentoring services. Aside from the strategic rollout, we relied heavily on Sharon to assist in exiting some difficult staff, redesigning executive functions, and managing some difficult situations. Without fail, she dealt with the problems on our behalf, saving us a great deal of conflict and cost, and earning a great deal of respect from management. Her commitment to the company and the people was outstanding, and the results far exceeded my expectations. Without doubt Excellerate was a very important component of our success, particularly around building our HR function, organisational structure, and strategic plans" CEO, Apata Ltd

I would like to thank Sharon, for the huge support and technical assistance to design and develop the Councils' first ever Cultural Connections staff training programme. Cultural Connections has proven to be a valuable tool to growing the awareness and understanding around Maori issues and has gone a long way to fostering the relationship between Council, Tangata Whenua and the wider community. To date over 400 people have completed the programme and provided us with some excellent feedback about the course content, presentation style and teaching resources. So thanks again Sharon for your awesome vision, guidance and aroha through those first years of getting the programme off the ground and established with Council management and most of all for believing in me to deliver it in a professional manner" Nga mihinui nga mihi aroha ki a koe e te tuahine.
