Simply put, Pollyanna is one of those amazing human beings that adds value whenever, wherever and however she can. I’ve worked with Pollyanna over some years across different organisations to deliver coaching engagements, leadership programs and keynotes. Every single time, Pollyanna brings punch, authenticity, and a healthy dose of pragmatism which ensures that her audience takes value from time invested. In the unlikely event that unforeseen and challenging circumstances present with delivery ‘seemingly on the ropes’, the powerhouse somehow has that covered too. Pollyanna weaves some mystical kind of magic and still enables great things to happen.

Pollyanna creates transformative moments for teams. There is clearly a method to what she does but Pollyanna has an incredible intuition that means she notices and creates the moments that count. I'll never forget one exercise that she created for our team that shifted how everyone viewed our relationships. It was powerful, meaningful and lasting. Thank you Pollyanna!

Pollyanna might be one of few people making Women Visible in the professional space, a thing. She was fast to point out my strengths when I wasn’t quite sure, she’s intelligent and in the most creative way, she brings women of diverse backgrounds, different age groups, and experiences together to discuss important topics! I’m glad to have met Pollyanna. She’s the absolute best!

Pollyanna is a deeply engaging and effective facilitator who combines her extensive knowledge and experience with a very refreshing wit and a strong dose of compassion and empathy. This was all very evident at a recent leadership retreat that I attended, which Pollyanna co-facilitated. A very insightful listener, Pollyanna seamlessly introduces complex concepts in a very pragmatic and user-friendly way. It is not often that professional facilitators can bring out the best in a group whilst also make meaningful connections to participants at a personal level. The way in which Pollyanna conducts her professional practice achieves that balance very well.

Pollyanna is extremely respectful of individuals, their experiences and their perspectives. She is a great storyteller and brought our group together through some of the most confronting discussions with empathy and humour.We have seen great results in both positivity and productivity within the team. I would highly recommend Pollyanna and would love the opportunity to work with her again.

Amanda Carlile, General Manager, Fitted for Work

Pollyanna’s executive coaching was recommended to me because she was outcome-focused, clear and highly skilled. That recommendation was absolutely correct. In each session, she helped me develop concrete steps to work through significant challenges and to develop and improve my skills and leadership. And she did so with great care and respect. I walked out of the last session with my confidence and energy lifted and with a tool kit of ideas and approaches that I didn’t have when I started.

Working with Pollyanna was such an authentic experience. The recent work she did with our team was amazing!

She has an uncanny ability to tease out the real issues and bring them to the surface, and then she focused our attention on sorting them out for good.

Lisa Thiedeman, Community Banking Consultant Corporate Affairs, NAB

Pollyanna is a very experienced facilitator who in a very short period of time was able to work with a very diverse group to facilitate a fairly ambitious list of outcomes. Pollyanna’s natural style and her ability to connect with people at all levels, support Pollyanna to be a very accomplished consultant.

Geoff Rose, Manager, Business Change NBN

Pollyanna came on board to help our team through a significant transformation journey. Pollyanna through her creative style enabled her to create an environment where trust and engagement from the team resulted, which enabled the team members to have the opportunity to talk openly about issues they faced, this resulted in buy-in, engagement and retention of key team members.

Neil Morrice, Head of Finance Infrastructure & Information Management, National Australia Bank

Pollyanna Lenkic is an outstanding team coach. She assisted myself and my team to really own our team culture, working relationships and performance. Using innovative and thought provoking techniques she guided us to work on our team but also helped with strategies for sustaining it ourselves over time. She worked with us in a way that was both challenging but not threatening to individuals.

We have seen incredible results with increased performance, commitment and honesty amongst team members and a desire to ensure that we are a united and high performing team. This was borne out in our recent internal survey where we scored highly on engagement and enablement.

Paula Benson, Executive General Manager - Corporate Affairs, NAB

Pollyanna rocks as a mentor and coach! I was introduced to Pollyanna Lenkic via my organisation to deliver one on one coaching and mentoring to further professionally develop my capabilities and leadership skills in the workplace. When I first met Pollyanna I was immediately touched by her energy, enthusiasm, and love for her ability to elevate people not just in their professional environments but in their personal life. We continued to work together for a year and I continue to implement and apply all the techniques and skills Pollyanna was able to share with me. Pollyanna gives it all when she is with you, she takes time to understand who you are as a person, and tailors her coaching to develop you so you can then have a positive impact on all your stakeholders and become the best leader you can be. Thank you Pollyanna, you are and absolute gem!

Vesna Stefanovski, Program Manager, Arc Laureate Fellowship, The University of Melbourne

Pollyanna was a delight to work with. She helped me facilitate a strategy planning session. She was very engaging and was able to build a collaborative and comfortable environment which lead to open and honest discussions. The objectives of the session were achieved. I would recommend using Pollyanna.
