History & Focus

Stephenson Mansell Group (SMG) has built a reputation as one of Australia’s pre-eminent executive coaching, mentoring and leadership development firms.

SMG was formed in 2005 from the merger of The Stephenson Partnership and The Mansell Group; both organisations having operated separately since 1998, making us arguably Australia's longest-established executive development firm.

Over more than a decade, we have coached and mentored over 4000 executives in more than 400 organisations nationally and internationally. Indeed, we have worked with 40 of Australia’s top 50 companies

The SMG team comprises qualified, experienced, mature executives with high levels of self-awareness and integrity, possessing broad personal and professional interests.

Since inception, we have continually refined and honed our skills, methodologies and processes so that our service offering anticipates and meets changing market needs.

Working under a professional services structure, SMG has a strong commitment to professional development, to ensure we maintain the highest levels of accreditation and service delivery standards.

SMGs’ programs focus on tactical and strategic business issues and tangible results at all stages of executive development. We provide organisations and individual executives with the opportunity to define and address specific development needs confidentially, and in a way that sustains positive change.

An extensive needs analysis forms the foundation for all our programs, ensuring outcomes are clearly articulated and agreed up front. Individual and organisation-wide case management, progress reporting and program evaluation further contribute significantly to the success of our programs.
