“It was incredibly valuable to work with Siebert and the team, whose expertise in executive training and individual coaching has been nothing short of transformative for our senior leadership team. Over the course of a carefully curated learning retreat, our leaders were equipped with invaluable insights, strategies, and personalised mentoring that has significantly enhanced their abilities to navigate complex commercial challenges and to lead with clarity and confidence.
They brought a wealth of knowledge and tailored their approach to suit our team’s specific needs, fostering an environment that encouraged growth and skills development. The impact of their guidance has been clearly evident, reflected in the overall cohesiveness and effectiveness of our leadership team.”
“Siebert brings a very structured but versatile approach to change management and mentoring that is engaging, encouraging and thought provoking. He is a very values focused person who seeks to improve your performance because he wants to not just because you have asked him to. He tailor makes his approach to suit your style and comfort zone, although he will use the opportunity to stretch your reach and vision and get you into a place where the not so comfortable but important issues are dealt with in a meaningful and productive way. I always looked forward to my time with Siebert over the 3 years that I had the good fortune of involving him in my work life.”

We combine our extensive experience with teams, great behaviour-science based exercises, and no-cringe activities to shape team experiences that build unity, collaboration and performance. Every experience is unique and tailored to meet exact needs.
Planning days
We craft days that are balanced, productive and motivational, ensuring quality inputs for informed decision-making and plans that will actually be implemented.
“As usual you gave a sterling performance and demonstrated so much of what all of us can aspire to in terms of professionalism, commitment and passion. I think it’s great for our guys to spend time with you for these reasons.”
“I just wanted to send you a note of thanks following the workshop last week… For an industry that almost prides itself on over complicating things … it was very clear that you had done your research. Feedback from the session was unanimously positive. Whether that be from the “Doubting Thomas’s”, those who enjoyed the opportunity to step back from their day to day, or those that were always going to love it, everyone came out interested, excited and looking forward to the next steps… We have an engaged Team now in this process, so thank you.”
Communications Practice
Complex communication
We craft cut-through communication of complex ideas, from product offerings and advanced marketing communications, to playbooks and thought leadership. Delivery options include digital, print and video.
Explainer videos
We produce highly effective video content using scripted text, interview content and animation for optimal clarity and effectiveness. Our work is always founded on sound behaviour science and learning theory.
Change communication
Built on our extensive practitioner and advisory experience in change leadership, we develop communication strategies and delivery to secure buy-in and follow-through of change programs.
“I thank you sincerely for your leadership and support over the course of the year. We have gone from basically a theoretical idea (from our brainstorming session) to having onboarded our first government and critical infrastructure partners this week onto a real platform with a proper data model, governance, a forward works plan and most importantly – trust and goodwill from our partners. We could not have done this without you – you and the team have allowed us to professionalise our service offerings, engender confidence and allowed us to sell a vision... Our ... animated videos, info sheets [and] catalogue ... clearly resonate with our stakeholders and partners, and is a testament to the professionalism, expertise and creativity of your team.”
Strategy Practice
Organisation and team strategies
We research, facilitate and develop strategies at enterprise, division and team levels, facilitating insightful processes to maximise buy-in to achieve organisational success.
Culture and people strategies
We bring a fresh approach to people-related strategies, including Culture Strategies, People (HR) Strategies, Leadership Strategies and Employee Value Propositions (EVP), delivering both commercial imperatives and contemporary, engaging workplace culture.
Change and integration strategies
We deliver highly effective change strategies, and support merger and acquisition processes to unlock latent value, and narrow the gap between expectations and reality.
“Thank you for the opportunity and am delighted to provide this testimonial.
I have worked with Siebert for some time now and will readily attest to his thoughtfulness, laser like insight, total commitment to the success of his clients and to his leadership skills. I have watched him use his skills to navigate very difficult and complex situations and problems with respect and authenticity. Siebert is engaging with a wonderful sense of humour that makes working with him a delight. His diligence and leadership adds huge value to any project making it stronger and better suited to its purpose.”
“I have engaged Siebert a number of times in recent years and will continue to do so into the future. He has an excellent understanding of strategy across industry, academia and government and is able to develop strategy that can be operationalised for positive outcomes. Since involving Siebert in strategic planning within my branch, the branch has gone on to exceed KPIs and be recognised as a leader across government in our field. Siebert is particularly skilled in involving employees at all levels in strategy creation and ownership which positions the work for success. I have no hesitation in recommending Siebert for Strategy Development and Planning.”
“Sincerely thank you for all that you did to make our first combined leadership offsite a success. While we still have a way to go to genuinely work as one team, the offsite that you hosted provided us tools and solid grounding to get there, along with the motivation of what success looks like so that we want to do so. THANK YOU!”
Evaluation Practice
Strategy reviews
We conduct gateway and progress reviews to ensure strategy implementation remains on track, or inform strategic adjustments.
Program evaluation
We evaluate communication, learning programs and learning systems, support L&D teams, and help project leaders, trainers and facilitators to achieve remarkable results.
Team health audits
Sometimes, teams are challenged by conflict, legacy issues, rapid change or systemic problems. We have the experience, mediation skills, conflict resolution skills and credibility to help teams heal, recover and transform into high performance.
“Firstly, I wanted to thank you for the exceptional work you have delivered documenting our Reinvention journey. Everything you have done – from interviewing our current (and many former) senior leaders, the extensive desk based research, and the construction of a compelling and educational treatment from our ATO reinvention journey, was delivered with the utmost professionalism. I know I speak on behalf of both the Commissioner and myself when I say we are very thankful.
The Reinvention case study treatment has remarkable insights, both for senior leaders in any field, and of course for large government departments like ourselves. There are interesting lessons, real practical examples and concrete case studies that people will be able to learn from, and, throughout, a compelling style and narrative that I know you uniquely have brought to the project.
I would add that during your time working with us we received excellent feedback from the many staff members you interviewed as part of your research.”
Unlike our other services, we don’t share Team Health Audit case studies here. This type of work tends to be confidential, and we withhold client identities. Our experience spans large and small businesses, and government teams. This is some of our most rewarding work, helping teams find meaning and purpose, and ways to overcome significant challenges.
“There were moments yesterday that were exciting and, I hope, epoch changing. The expert way that you steered the day was just excellent. Real momentum achieved.”
“Hi Siebert. I can’t thank you enough for the work you facilitated yesterday. The dinner was abuzz. The team was so in need of change and they are very excited. They loved your content and approach and it was the subject of lots of conversation over dinner.”
“The journey that we have taken with you is, and will always be, part of our history and dare I say it, our DNA.”
Speaking engagements
Keynotes, presentations and panels
We deliver inspirational, meaningful and entertaining talks at conferences, team days and leadership retreats.
“Siebert is a highly engaging speaker. By using his personal experience from having worked in several countries around the world, he was able to captivate our audience in way that made them question their own approaches and identifying personal areas for improvement. He is motivational, but at the same time grounded. He balances strategy on one hand with down to earth execution on the other. His talk balanced strategy implementation with everyday actions, giving his audience a great framework to effectively reaching the goals we strive towards as an organization.”
