Guy Griffiths2023-09-18 Trudy recently presented to a team of CEO's in Brisbane covering the twin subjects of "Incentivising employees" and "Building high performance teams". We spent 2 hours totally enthralled by Trudy and her depth of knowledge in these (and many other) areas. After covering recent changes in the workforce landscape, we identified various key actions which CEO's could use to address post-COVID complications that have arisen in their workforce environments. In addition, Trudy gave us all a myriad of tricks and tips that are "must-have" for any CEO. These tips combined with the broader key actions above gave the whole group a super-charged level of motivation to improve the workforce landscape in their own organisations. Well done Trudy - and I'm sure we will see you again as we continue to navigate the post-COVID challenges.

We regard her as one of our most outstanding presenters. She presents well-researched content that is highly relevant and readily applicable to medium-sized businesses and always leaves our CEO's with increased knowledge and great tools they can put into immediate use. Over the years many of our CEO's have gone on choose TalentCode HR to bring outstanding change and HR practice into their organisations.

Steve Gallagher2022-09-15 Trudy ran a half day workshop for my TEC peer advisory group on people and culture in the current climate. Our members from a diverse range of businesses gained enormous value from the session and the take away material and models that TalentCode HR provided. I anticipate that several will be following up and engaging with TalentCode HR for further support. scott Loose2022-09-08 I recently welcomed Trudy McDonald to my TEC 23 Peer Advisory Group of CEO’s. Her presentation was Insightful and passionate delivery of content, up to date in the current context of a post Covid world. Great communication style. Trudy is clearly at the top of her game in her craft and contemporary to the agile shifting environment. Her communication style and use of simple models and tools as take away for participants was gold in communicating concepts. Great presentation! Michael Powell2022-09-07 I chair a CEO Institute syndicate in Brisbane and we had Trudy MacDonald of TalentCoce HR speak to us on Attracting, Retaining & Engaging Talent." She was outstanding, demonstrated her expertise in this area and also her practical understanding of how to improve practice in the above areas. All our members greatly appreciated her presentation. I am very confident in Trudy and TalentCode's capability in these and related fields and would certainly recommend them to all potential clients. Thanks Trudy for an excellent presentation! Anne Massey2022-05-31 I am a Chair at The CEO Institute, and recently my group had the wonderful experience of hearing Trudy Macdonald speak. She was relevant, engaging, articulate, and an excellent presenter. She understood the topic, the audience, and how to provide a practical guide to the talent challenges the CEOs face in todays environment. I would not hesitate to recommend her as both a subject matter expert, and a great speaker. Thank you Trudy Rob McComb2022-05-14 Many thanks from the team for a very engaging workshop on 'Attracting, Retaining & Engaging Talent in the Current Market'. As usual, you nailed the topic, presented it through the lens of the SME employer, and offered valuable, practical responses to current challenging issues. Since mid-2021 I have been asking CEOs to think seriously about talent strategy, so they were prepared for the shortage of good people and the inevitable pressure on salaries we now face. Given your specialist skills and focus, you were able to clearly reinforce the core principles – with a real world, practitioner’s emphasis – just when it was most needed! JOnathan Hutchins2022-01-27 Great insights and engaging presentation helped make some of the complex issues of people management solvable. Highly recommend Talent Code HR for any company.
