What graduates say
Komatsu Komatsu Australia: Part of World #2 in earth moving and mining equipment

The Leaders Workshop has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience for me on both professional and personal levels. The structure and content of the group workshops, combined with Ian’s engaging style, is relevant to inspiring leadership qualities through a journey of personal development and growth. I feel privileged to have been involved in what was a ‘pilot’ course for Komatsu.
Geoff Pisani, Sales Manager - National Used Mining Equipment

I want to thank you for the concise and engaging content of your program and congratulate you on the relevance of its application to Komatsu. Having previously enjoyed intensely motivating and informative courses conducted by major corporate organisations (BMW, Mercedes-Benz), I found that The Hero’s Quest is of the highest standard. All of the participants have gained and grown from their experiences with you and I am certain that each of us will implement changes to accelerate our professional development. The positive impact will be apparent in our various departments, with increased efficiency and productivity being a consequence. I feel that you have re-oriented us and effectively shown how to build and share the tools needed to carve a path for others. Please know that you have succeeded.
Graham Hurley, Sales Manager - NSW Used & Rental Equipment

Thank you for what has been a fantastic journey of self discovery and learning. I found The Hero’s Quest to be very different in structure to other programs and interesting in the way we were all very engaged and very open with what were at times quite personal issues and experiences. I feel richer for having completed the program, and feel that I have developed very tight relationships with those members of my peer group who shared the experience. The learnings were invaluable and I can see so many opportunities to grow going forward.
Gary Campbell, Head of Call Centre and Service Control, NRMA Motoring & Services

I appreciated the open and honest dialogue between participants and the facilitator, and the flexible approach to ensure learning preferences of all the participants were considered and maximised. A very user friendly program.
Adelle Jackman, Senior Manager Human Resources, NRMA Motoring & Services

I found The Hero’s Quest to be extremely helpful in terms of gaining insights into both how I and those around me view the world and in particular how this affects our interactions. The interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is presented in an extremely easy way to understand and more importantly for me, in a way that is easy to apply in day-to-day interactions. It’s a great course which is both useful and enjoyable.
Belinda Rendle, Head of Membership, NRMA Motoring & Services

The Hero’s Quest is not your ordinary leadership course. It’s a refreshing change from the many courses which help you go through the motions of leading. Instead it provides you with a pathway to personal growth and leadership, giving you all the right tools to help you succeed on your journey. Just as much a life course as a leadership course. Very enjoyable and rewarding.

Ian has done a fantastic job of putting The Hero’s Quest together in such a way that it all seems like common sense. This is a big eye opener with many ‘light bulb’ moments.
Anne Roberts, Service Delivery Manager, ASG Group Ltd

The Hero’s Quest gave me a sense of understanding of who I am and how I can be a better person to ‘me’ and those I work and live with. It was also useful in reminding me about my own goals.
