“Trevor creates immediate rapport and has been instrumental in achieving great results, from those on the tools to executive level managers.”
“Ports of Auckland embarked on a comprehensive program to establish values within the company as well as developing a leadership program to underpin and reinforce those values – we called it Compass. Andrew provided a format and structure to the Compass program that enabled our staff to communicate some difficult and challenging messages to the company. His courage and ability to engender trust with our staff was outstanding – he became a valuable conduit for information – seeking information on the issues within the organisation and providing guidance on how best to address these issues. Andrew Smith’s input has been invaluable in developing the Compass program and changing the way we think about our interactions in the workplace.”
