Stuart Grey from the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines & Energy describes his leadership and executive coaching journey with Nicole Allen.

TESTIMONIALS

"I can’t recommend Nicole Allen and AltusQ highly enough. From my first meeting with Nicole I felt really comfortable talking about the concerns I had with my career and how that was impacting my work/life balance. With the calming voice and genuine smile Nicole was able to ask me the questions I needed and to make me think about what was important. From being bored and uninterested in my industry and not getting the most out of my home life I am now about to begin to build a new house and I’m 6 weeks into a new role after a promotion within the wider company I worked for. The change in my outlook, performance and clarity was from working with Nicole."
