what others say
“Shelley Wild is an accomplished consultant and educator. Her coupling of leadership and management practices with social cognitive neuroscience sets her apart from others working in the commercial, government, education and not-for-profit sectors. Her expertise involves working with both the external and ‘inner’ working of organisations, individual leaders and teams. Her approach brings with it sure-footedness helping to build sustainable and innovative organisations. As an educator, Wild’s practice exemplifies the maxim that ‘great educators do not rely on technique; real education comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher’.”
“Shelley is an inspirational individual, devoted coach and ethical confidante. She can diagnose complex situations, gather evidence and data and team feedback to design effective solutions. During my time as CEO of Regional Development Australia (FNQ & TS Inc), Shelley was a Board Director and a constant source of support as well as using neuroscience methodologies to develop me and others around her. She is a committed leader, working tirelessly for the betterment of teams and community. Her moral position is a testament to the respect and admiration she receives from those she works with. I have no hesitation recommending Shelley for projects where she can analyse and solve problems, develop and coach people and grow communities and organisations.”
“Shelley was an outstanding member of the RDA FNQ & TS Inc. Board during its inaugural term. Shelley played two critical roles on the board. She was crucial in establishing the organisation from a standing start, securing its original constitution, operating policies and systems. She then played an outstanding role in welding a team culture within a very diverse range of Board members. As continuing chair of the Board, I regularly appreciate the foundation legacies Shelley left this successful organisation.”
“It is rare to encounter anyone as driven, passionate, inclusive and strategic as Shelley Wild. With a deep understanding of neuroscience and psychological insights, Shelley brings together teams to meet market requirements and to maximise opportunities. She encourages innovation and excellence. Always generous with her time, Shelley’s leadership qualities include support for personal as well as professional development. Oh, and Shelley has a fantastic sense of humour. Working with Shelley was a career highlight.”
“Shelley Wild offers inspiring programs that have enabled me to understand myself, the colleagues I work with and how we can make highly effective decisions. I strongly recommend for any leader to undertake work with Shelley to improve their social leadership capability.”
“Learning with Shelley Wild was like a novel intrusion in my mind that dared me to be a better me. In a supportive and cheeky way she dared me to be a better version of myself. She inspired me to take action – which I did and I have not looked back. I am a better Mum, business owner and friend today thanks to all the she has taught me. ”
“Shelley’s amazing talent in taking abstract ideas and turning them into practical strategies is second to none. As a trainer of adults, she is present and perceptive of what will and won’t work in the moment, and she has an absolute passion to ensure each person ‘gets’ the learning outcome. As a mediator, she can energise all parties to a solution which exceeds all expectations. As a consultant, she can find opportunities that you don’t even know exist. I have no hesitation in recommending Shelley to work with you or your organisation at all levels. ”
“Shelley is a very passionate, honest and loyal leader with a natural gift to inspire and develop talent. With proven results in training development and mentoring, she is a natural leader and highly respected in the community. I have worked alongside Shelley and would be hard-pressed to find a more capable person to develop and inspire teams.”
“Shelley is head and shoulders above any consultant that I have worked with, and I am impressed with her ability to create an environment where people believe in themselves and others. She combines passion and energy with a systematic approach that results in empowering and inspiring others. Her willingness to ‘speak from the heart’ and share her journey helps to create a safe environment where the horizon of the human spirit is stretched. She firmly believes that we can be more than we are and I am indebted to her for all she has so generously given me.”
“Finally a leadership perspective that helps understand the complexities of people leadership. Shelley gives the ‘how to’ and not just the ‘what and why’.”
