Client Impact & Endorsements
Reflections from executive leaders, board members, and transformation teams on delivering strategy-to-outcome value.
I’ve known Ferne for 20+ years, an amazing track record in very complex environments. Very good in not only managing the outcomes but guiding and coaching senior executives, she cuts thru the complexities and politics and avoids inertia.
There are the managers and there are leaders. Managers keep you running on the same spot Leaders take you on a journey. Follow Ferne and be amazed.
Collaborative, authentic, transparent and passionate leader with exceptional communication skills. Brilliant at coordinating. Awesome ability at helping others craft and shape their actions.
Ferne is authentic and generous, with a deep passion for helping others succeed. I have known her for over 20 years and her commitment has never wavered. I’ve seen first-hand the effect she has had on so many individuals and organisations.
Across my 20+ years of working with people and companies all over the world I must say Ferne is one of the most inspiring hardest working and authentic people & leaders I have had the pleasure of crossing paths with. At first I couldn’t connect the dots .. how was it that this calm, easy to talk to, down to earth person is advising and influencing the C level and boards of some of the largest companies? Then time after time I was there to see the results of her work and hear her praise by people at all levels of the organisation. As I got to work with Ferne over time I discovered she is insightful, balanced, mindful and soulful. Love your work Ferne and thank you for all your guidance and mentoring you gave me in my early days as a young entrepreneur.
Working with Ferne on at the time biggest transformational changes NAB business banking had ever attempted was simply one of the highlights of my career. Her leadership, humour and ability to pull the right people together to have the most important conversations at the right time was incredible. She possessed the unique ability to harness everyone’s skills and direct them to achieve amazing outcomes. Her ability to be strategic and tactical and help people visualise the end experience and how we would get there demonstrates her depth and breadth of experience in global strategic change. If I was asked was there one transformational leader I would wholeheartedly work with again it would be Ferne. Every person’s opinion mattered to her and she truly wanted to understand and measure why we were changing and how it would improve at an individual, team, business unit and organisational level. Her mentorship to all of her colleagues was outstanding. A truly rare leader who comes from the heart and yet is very ready to make tough decisions when needed.
