"He was very personable, open and friendly". Greta

"The day was great and appreciated all the positive feedback that Michael gave us. Great team building exercise". John

Polaris Media

I am pleased to offer the following comments in relation to our dealings with Shayne Hanks

Our company, Polaris Media is one of the oldest providers of media and communications in the country, now celebrating our 114^th year. Publishers of culturally based community newspapers as well as commercial magazines and websites, our company totals 65 employees across multiple sites, that include a wide variety of dynamic teams and individuals.

During the past four years our business has experienced great change with it's people, systems and technology, and to ensure that our people embrace a winning philosophy we began a partnership with Shayne Hanks to lay the roadmap to success.

A series of workshops were developed around individual and team success where Shayne quickly established himself as one of the team, thus creating immediate acceptance of his elite performance teachings.

Whether it was working with our group sales teams collectively, or individually with our team leaders, Shayne philosophy of "Getting the Best out of Yourself" not only positively impacted on our staff's performance and productivity, but also greatly enhanced their outlook and interaction in their daily personal lives.

We are also pleased to say that Shayne has continued to be our business partner where he has regularly worked with some key individuals on an ongoing basis. These periodic sessions are much appreciated by the individuals and ensures their continued success and high performance.

We are proud to say that Shayne has, and will be a winning formula in the future of our business.

Feed-back from our team was impressive that shows your talk was well received, especially at a time when we are a week out from our launch. It put into perspective just how important a total team ethos is within all areas of growth.

Your relaxed style, coupled with your experience shared with Australia and now in the business world, was a great way to start our morning. I believe it provided our team important and practical information for them to use in their everyday lives.

You hit a six but watch out for those short balls!!

We recently used Shayne Hanks as a business coach for one of our Managers with great success. Shayne’s natural ability to mentor and coach while following a solid process has delivered measurable performance improvements. Shayne was able to easily break down barriers and get to the heart of the issues, without losing trust or confidence from our candidate. We appreciated the honest and open communication from Shayne.

The results achieved through the coaching more than met our expectations and should there be further coaching opportunities in our business we would not hesitate to contact Michael Bevan Business Performance.

Amcor

I have known Shayne Hanks since working with him in the development of a senior leadership team at AMCOR.  In my role as Regional Human Resources Managers I witnessed Shayne make a major difference to the performance of the team and key individuals in our business as he supported us during a difficult period of business improvement.

Our business underwent a significant number of changes during a 12 moth period and Shayne helped the senior leadership team gain clarity and direction about where to spend energy and focus, whilst retaining personal balance.

Through his work Shayne helped increase the performance levels of managers and assisted them to meet constant daily deadlines whilst managing stress and fatigue. Understanding how to control the way we think and the way we work had an immediate impact on our organisation.

Overall I have been impressed by Shayne's thorough understanding and knowledge of "elite" performance. He has a natural talent in knowing how to get the best out of people - whether they are currently performing well or whether they need to lift their game.  His philosophy is a winning formula for success and I thoroughly recommend his services to any person or organisation wanting to get the best out of themselves or their team.
