Unlock your team. Unlock the future.

I wanted to do something different and push the boundaries of regular professional development, so I reached out to the Top Five Movement team to run a program for us.

Our whole team said it was the best professional development they’d ever done. Months after the program finished, the learning is still active.

The program gave us the opportunity to embed practical tools and create real, sustainable change. We’ve seen significant progress as individuals, great benefits as a team and increased value delivered to our organisation. Every team member shared tangible examples of improved efficiency, stronger connections, greater confidence and bringing more of themselves to their role.

I was hoping people would have something tangible to hold onto and look back on for years to come. I cannot thank Clare and the Top Five team enough for delivering such a unique and successful program.

VicHealth has a strong, positive culture, but we recognised that some employees were struggling during a period of change. We saw it as a great opportunity to help people build their wellbeing capacity and mental toolkit for navigating organisational change.

Clare quickly understood the strengths and challenges of our culture and designed a program that met people where they were. By using a real life challenge our organisation was facing, she provided practical strategies for navigating change constructively. The program was insightful, relevant, engaging, timely and genuinely helpful.

As a result, our employees now have practical strategies to help them navigate change with greater confidence and thrive in the workplace.

I meet with the best employers in our state and on hearing about Top Five’s influence on the culture of an Employer of Choice across all levels, I wanted to introduce them to other organisations. Their work clearly helped staff to embrace significant change (a merger) and support each other to overcome the workplace challenges, build better relationships with each other and customers.

Top Five’s work brings a unique drawing together of self-care and enabling people to collaboratively build productive mindsets and creating a mentally healthy workplace.

Top Five came highly recommended and we liked their easy, friendly and fun approach. The Top Five team has now worked on three engaging, relevant, interesting, and thought provoking projects with our team – opening our global Women in Leadership Forum, running a mindset workshop at our head office and creating an online goal setting and mindset program which we delivered to team members across 40 countries. Their work really hit the mark and translated well globally.

Our team feel like they have tools to help them understand issues through a different lens, create a better work environment for everyone by raising the bar, solve problems they haven’t been able to solve and have clearer perspectives on how to encourage change.

Top Five opened our Apple Education team day with a workshop that absolutely left us feeling motivated and energised for the day ahead. We have team members based all over the country so it is important that we use our time together openly and effectively.

Engaging our team through a focus on positivity couldn’t have been timed better and allowed us to head into the rest of the day ready for productive problem solving and strategising as a team.

Anyone that knows me well would know that I hate over the top self-help type activities. We’ve been through a lot of change in my team and while it is important to support your team from a mindset and resilience perspective, I know that many people are very sceptical and cynical about any form of popular psychology and team activities.

I’ve hired Top Five twice now and the great thing about their workshops is that they are practical, insightful and entertaining, and even the most cynical staff were saying to me that they took something away from the session. Many of the team are also using the tools to cope with negativity and change better and to reduce stress, procrastination and worry. Mission accomplished!

Clare is an engaging professional, she thinks broader than many and considers the lasting impact of the time she spends with you. Clare was effortless to work with, navigating the scoping and delivery phases to work out what was needed and was quick to adapt to meeting timelines, internal nuances and unexpected obstacles. Our team gained practical additions into their individual and collective toolkits for building resilience through change and challenging times. They were left feeling empowered and energised. The program brought instant, impactful and enduring value.

We hired Top Five to run a session to set the mindset and engagement of our CEO and executive team before a strategic planning day. The Top Five team was engaging and their ideas were thought-provoking. They not only helped us get the most of our time together as a leadership team but left us with tools that the team felt would help us see opportunities and possibilities amidst complexity and confusion, be less overwhelmed and more mindful of what’s within our control, mentor different thinking in our teams and fuel another step in our positive cultural journey.

I’ve already hired Top Five again to partner with St Luke’s on two high potential leaders programs.

I had been following Clare’s work and wanted to support my team during uncertainty and as we moved into an organisation wide transformation program. Clare understands the role emotions play in how we perform at work well and was thoughtful and adaptable to our team’s needs and feedback. Her clear and warm presentation of the content worked perfectly for our team’s culture and expectations. The team found the program practical, thought-provoking, enjoyable, timely and accessible. There was something for everyone so team members with different working styles were engaged and benefited. As a leadership team we have common tools and language to work better together and solve problems.

Clare has such a different approach and is very engaging as a speaker. You can’t fool my team, and I knew they’d relate to her easy going, straightforward, no nonsense style. Clare has an ability to talk about the tough and raw stuff, rather than glossing over it. She’s easy, patient, approachable, understandable and relatable – both 1:1 and with a group.

My team are tough nuts to crack and, although I hoped they would engage with the program, I was surprised at how openly they embraced it. They have actually taken tools away from it and we have seen positive change. My team now collaborate more, are considerate and respectful towards each other, are more positive, and have tools to help them in the future.

Clare’s keynote Clare’s presentation and workshop were engaging, positive, active and relatable. The work perfectly supported our conference theme of Great Partnerships = Great Impact!

As a result of our work together our NILS community had the opportunity to reflect and refocus. They walked away with tools to support them, their teams and their clients to feel more confident, to care for themselves as well as their clients and with a refreshed energy to try things differently.

Our committee brings together organisations who are focused on improving the integration of services that respond to family violence. We’d had a tough year and having seen Top Five’s work before, we knew offering a resilience workshop to team members from all of our organisations would be just the ticket. Clare was wonderful to work with – highly professional, knowledgeable, a great communicator – nothing seemed to faze her and everything was ‘can do’.

During the workshop, the team were reflective, optimistic and motivated to try something new. As a result of our work together, our group have new tools for circuit breaking negative feelings, re-energizing and looking forward in new ways. We feel energised and invigorated, which is no mean feat given how fatigued many of us were feeling!

I’ve booked Top Five three times to support my team and a conference that brings leaders in our industry together. After the Top Five workshop our team now have tools to shift their mindset during change from a fear of failure and frustration to feeling empowered, confident and ready to contribute. Any team can benefit from a mindset reboot with Top Five. Clare has a unique talent to make people feel great about themselves and truly build confidence.

Top Five also coached 15 key team members and was key in us being awarded as an Employer of Choice by the Department of Skills and Growth Tasmania.

As CFO, it is my job to research. I spent a day and a half researching for a company who could help our team build resilience ahead of some exciting growth. I looked at various companies but I kept coming back to Top Five Movement.

Our first workshop was even better than I expected and I was surprised that every member of the team responded well. Top Five Movement’s work is helping our team to be more productive, aid transition to change, have better communication and open discussion and build a renewed willingness to assist each other. Our next workshop is booked in and we look forward to working with Clare + the Top Five team further.

We took a workshop with Clare as it helps to know that there are strategies to use when we are faced with challenges and the demands on our time and minds in our industry. Clare was very knowledgeable and calming, and we found the session insightful, helpful, guiding and positive. The workshop gave me and my team a new way of looking at our problems and situations. We now assess situations before we become angry or stressed and try to find encouraging ways of dealing with things.

We first saw Clare present at an Employer of Choice launch. During a visit to our practice she was down to earth and really connected with the culture we wanted to maintain and foster within our practice. We hired Clare to run a team day and she really cared about what we wanted to achieve for each team member and our business. On the day Clare was enthusiastic and passionate and helped our employees to explore their thoughts and open up with one another in a safe environment. As a result of our work together, our team have reconnected with our organisation and its vision and we are now a stronger and more cohesive group.

I brought Clare in to help build the mindset, resilience and productive thinking of our team.

We provide accommodation and other support services to local people with a disability during a time of intense sector transition. Our staff pour their heart and soul into their work; it is very rewarding but challenging with constant change. Following Clare’s workshops, our team felt more confident in what they’re capable of achieving, have new tools to strengthen their resilience and practical ideas to keep building a more productive and encouraging culture.

I heard Clare speak three years ago and have been using the tools with my teams since to influence culture and support change. I knew we could trust Clare’s practical and thought provoking work on mindset and resilience to help launch our new wellbeing strategy. Clare was efficient and collaborative to work with and created workshops to help us launch our new wellbeing program. The first workshop booked out within two hours. It was engaging, interactive and timely. Our team rated the likelihood of using the tools day to day in their work 9.26/10! Our second workshop also booked out and provided our teams with tools for less self-doubt, procrastination, self-criticism and second guessing.

As a result of our work together, the GOTAFE teams have new tools to boost morale, increase productivity, reduce stress, empower others, improve communication and help everyone navigate change better.
