The enthusiasm and firm guidance to keep us on track was noticeable and much appreciated - and I think it added to the robust conversation. Of course, so too did the preparation work and your engagement with everyone to hear their perspectives.
Karen Penrose, Director, Marshall Investments
Turning leaf drew our scope requirements from the initial meetings and then facilitated a series of discussions to build a world class 3-year marketing and communications campaign which will disrupt our industry. They delivered on the brief, on time and on budget.
Antony Schillaci, National Sales and Marketing Manager, Veolia
Brilliant job preparing for and then facilitating a strategy day for the 3 Partners in our business. The style and approach were professional but still accessible and we were skillfully guided through a long, but productive, day of defining our strategy, values and unique positioning.
David Halliday, Partner, Aesir Capital
Quite possibly the most interactive and productive workshop I have been involved with. Our team actually had a post workshop debrief straight after, everyone was invigorated and the ideas flowed. Today we compiled these and there is total buy in from my team! Energetic sessions, without being over the top; discourse that is productive and manages to steer the conversation and team away from “the rabbit hole”.
Ash Patel, Consultant, Reach Local
Matt was amazing to work with, a true management consultant and professional. The report he delivered was exactly what we were after and would have no hesitation in recommending or utilising Matt's services again in the future. His communication is informative, research was extremely in-depth and the report was of the highest quality. He was able to identify the exact kind of detail, risks and opportunities that we were hoping for. We hope to work with Matt again in the future. Thank you again.
Rhiannon Foster, Managing Partner, Sensical
The National Breast Cancer Foundation asked Turning Leaf to help us develop a long strategy, to help us fuel our future growth.

Turning Leaf helped develop our marketing capability to world-class level. We operate in a very complex and rapidly changing markets so it was essential to identify the right direction for the business and to put the right next steps in place.
We look forward to our next project together.

The project Turning Leaf did for us was a little bit unusual and they really "got" what we were seeking to achieve and pulled together a great program for us.
Mussaret Nagree, General Manager, WesCEF
Thank you so much for the fabulous offsite yesterday – it really achieved all I was hoping for, and more. We nailed the reconnect. And now that 24 hours has passed and I’ve had time to reflect, I feel we’ve finished with a really rich set of ideas that we can develop, as a team.
Danusia Cameron, Registrar General, NSW Government Office of the Registrar General
It was a real pleasure working with Matt. Matt is a highly capable strategic thinker and works very efficiently to understand your brief and works hand in hand to deliver the right outcome regardless of the number of iterations required. Matt's greatest quality however is his respectful nature and his no fuss attitude - nothing is ever too much and he works all hours to get the job done.
Kingsley Andrew, General Manager, Stockland
I had no hesitation in asking Turning Leaf in to facilitate our Strategy Formation Day when establishing the new Cumulus Vineyards business unit. The whole process went as smoothly as I expected and delivered a terrific output. The breadth of knowledge and experience working across a multitude of industries with both large and small enterprises, provided the perspective so essential to successful facilitation. Highly recommended.
Tim Jones, Managing Director, Cumulus Vineyards
Turning Leaf has been instrumental in our strategic planning for two years running. Most recently, they guided us through a significant organisational shift with remarkable ease. Matt's innovative approach to fostering a 'Growth Mindset' within our team made all the difference. The workshop was engaging and productive, culminating in a clear, professional strategic plan that has genuinely energised the Care1 team.
Rhett Kentwell, CEO, Care1
Thank you for facilitating such a wonderful and productive strategic planning session. The feedback from the participants has been positive, and I’m still feeling happy about it.
Looking forward to executing the strategy for the years ahead.

A huge thank you to Matt for helping steer us through tricky discussions and activities and getting us to such a great place in terms of helping us reach a little reset. Personally, I’m looking forward to working with everyone on some of the next steps and actions.

Turning Leaf provided thoughtful strategic guidance, allowing us to define challenges and inform decisions. Matt is practical and understood the nuances of our business environment ensuring we direct resources where needed and where they will have the most impact.
Des Mulcahy, Director, Royal Sydney Golf Club
Turning Leaf listened closely to the brief and delivered a framing that enabled the outcomes we needed while building strong momentum across our leadership and transformation agenda. The overall response from the group was very positive, with participants appreciating the format and energy brought to each session while allowing the group to self-led through unclear points to get to the intended results. The guidance played a key role in helping us align and move forward with focus.
Ashley Powell, Managing Director, Moët Hennessy
The Turning Leaf team were absolutely fantastic to work with in the design and delivery of my Directorate strategic planning day in April 2025.
The level of support in the lead up to the event was outstanding..
On the day my 50 staff who attended were overwhelmingly positive and at the end of the sessions all of my staff could clearly articulate the benefits of the day, and how the activities helped us as a team move forward on our strategic objectives.
Adam Young, Director, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development
Our initial idea and objectives transformed into an engaging, high-impact leadership workshop that launched a critical new business process. The session energised the entire team, forged stronger connections, and has sustained its momentum and excitement long after the day, while fully delivering on our transformation goals. The ripple-effect of energy and momentum is still being felt across the team.
