5 minute Professional Effectiveness Review
The “new era of work” that is discussed in this book is extremely challenging for all of us. I thoroughly recommend this lively and engaging book as a key guide to help us navigate these issues.

Forté Clients Say…
Career coaching
I just wanted to say thank you for your time back in June. The time we spent together really opened my eyes to future possibilities and where I could see my career direction heading. After much thought I have decided to follow my deep interests, and I can honestly say that without your help I would have probably never taken this dramatic step – one could say I have since had an epiphany! I very much appreciate the insight you provided me and wish you all the best. RC

Executive coaching
I have extolled the virtues of your work to so many people who think I am very courageous. I put it down to having great advice from you … the absolute best of which was how to get related to people in the line of work I want to do. JA

Workshops & Seminars
Over the past few months dealing with the changes at work I have been very resilient and have remained positive about what was happening – your coaching on either loving your way through or hating your way through has been very powerful. I’ve chosen the former, its done me extremely well and I could not have done it without your help Frances. Thank you for your help.

Paul, a Senior Researcher in a large NZ organisation volunteered this feedback recently …
“I didn’t know what to expect when I booked in with Max and Frances. I chose them from a list of coaches as I liked their backgrounds and experience. It turns out they were fantastic because they were astute, customised in their approach, wise and great listeners.
I gained a lot of new practical skills from working with them and I really needed the challenge they presented to me in the way I think, process information and respond.
I’m noticing that I am implementing their advice and as an example, I am ‘book-ending’ my responses better so that they are more meaningful and concise. I found Max and Frances genuine, punctual and committed to helping me. I am endorsing Max and Frances to others at my work not only because they are effective, but also very professional, fun and kind” (2022)
