Experience, reputation & longevity in the Australian market

We are among Australia’s leading executive coaching, mentoring and leadership development firms, and arguably the longest-established.

Relationships & market awareness

SMG has always maintained strong relationships with business leaders to keep abreast of market developments.

Moreover, our strategic alliance with leadership development research group, The Center for Creative Leadership, provides global insights and information on best practice in executive development – further reinforcing our ability to keep clients informed of the latest advances in the area.

Professional services excellence

We are one of the few leadership development practices in Australia that operates as a professional services firm. This ensures we hold our coaching and mentoring faculty and management to the highest industry standards, underpinned by detailed processes, quality control, case management and assigned program directors.

Experienced coaching, mentoring & leadership team

Our coaches, mentors and leadership team are all practitioners, with extensive experience and qualifications in business and leadership development. This means our clients work with coaching and mentoring professionals who have a genuine understanding of their needs.

Importantly, we can bring a level of objective empathy to all coaching and mentoring engagements, combined with commercial acumen.

Customised and blended approach

Our coaching and mentoring doesn’t rely on just one methodology. A fundamental strength of our practice is the ability of our coaches to move fluidly between coaching and mentoring modalities, as determined by client needs.

We believe this provides the optimal support to executives and teams. Additionally, the use of blended business interventions (coaching and customised workshops) provides high-impact learning, actively helping to embed sustained behavioural change.
