"Ally is an authentic and engaging leadership coach with so much passion for what she does. Having heard her speak previously at a SheCreates event, we engaged Ally on behalf of Spence Club Inc to speak to our members about the Love Languages of Leadership. Hosted on the last day of a state-wide lockdown, the event was such a success, with members still referring to the learnings of the session and sharing what they learned with others. Ally brings so much enthusiasm to any workshop she delivers, and has no problem in keeping her audience captivated throughout. We were thrilled to be joined by her and look forward to hearing her speak at future events, each which offer bite-sized pieces of take-away information that's easy to remember and implement in our day-to-day lives. Thank you, Ally, from all of us at Spence Club!"

"Thank you Ally for the 5 full days of Courageous Leaders, I have taken many leadership and training programs though the years and none have made me come away feeling more empowered than this one. Ally has a unique way of getting you to engage in the conversation throughout the course and getting you to really see the areas you need to concentrate on. Ally is extremely talented with her training style keeps you challenging you thoughts and actions while coming to solutions to react and think differently going forward. I felt Ally to be very genuine in her delivery and full of life , she is the kind of person you want to be around. I encourage anyone to take Ally’s training, it is one big step forward. I thank you for opening my eyes up again."

Manager

"Ally was engaged to present a session at a “Grow your Career Week” event and spoke about the 6 Daily Habits for success to a University student audience. Ally’s relatable style was perfect for her audience which meant the students were able to relate to the content and use the information to forge their own version of success in study and in life. We had wonderful feedback from participants. I would highly recommend Ally as a guest speaker."

University of Adelaide

"Some of our team had never been through a formal process so we were unsure on the level of engagement we could get through the process. We were thrilled to see each of them engage and feel comfortable enough to provide thought provoking responses. The feedback at the end was faultless and it was an incredibly worthwhile process for not just us as individuals, but for the team. Thank you Ally."

Quisk

"As I reflect on the past year I wanted to thank you for the impact you had on my leadership journey in 2021. Joining the CEO Advisory Boardroom allowed me to confidentially bounce ideas of an independent leadership coach in a fun and engaging way. I always looked forward to our sessions as it was a time to step back and think about high level leadership and I always came away from the sessions either confirming my approach, getting fresh ideas, looking at things differently, gaining a greater understanding of the situation but generally together we achieved all of the above mixed in together. The CEO Advisory Boardroom enhanced my leadership that my whole organisation benefited from. If anyone is sitting on the fence working with you, send them my way."

CEO

"Thanks for being so accommodating Ally, your professionalism and organisation is second to none. I was really impressed by your ability to tailor your message to the context of the event and ensure its application to the organisational change that was being implemented. Our guests commented that you were warm, engaging, used humour well, had a great pace and relevant messaging. You really contributed to a successful morning."

Office of Academic and Student Engagement

"Ally did a fabulous job speaking to her peeps at the SA Chapter event for Professional Speakers Australia. It was totally engaging and insightful. We all learnt something in the first 10 minutes which Alley demonstrated perfectly by asking questions after storytelling. It was memorable, as we could all easily recall the key messages in the first 10 minutes! Wow, a fantastic session full of gold nuggets & actionable steps."

Marketing Problem Solver

"I am a great believer in the value of seeing issues from a different perspective. This to me was a key reason I got so much value from Ally Nitschke’s presentation, to the SA members of Professional Speakers Australia, “The magic of storytelling to amplify your message”. That stories are the prime way of connecting with an audience is a given. Ally demonstrated how, by pushing our thinking outside the square, we can transform our stories into an experience that the audience will love as being memorable, relatable and repeatable. I can see why she won the PSA Kerrie Nairn Scholarship 2022 Award."

Life Enjoyment Mentor

"Ally has a great deal of experience with successfully developing teams and this is no doubt a result of her ability to connect with people through story telling."

MOBO Group

"Ally did a fantastic presentation at Professional Speakers on how to make our talks and trainings more relatable and engaging. At the end of the event Ally was very generous with her time, energy and creativity when helping me to utilise what she had taught for my current focus - Compassion Fatigue. I was amazed at how immediately she could come up with brilliant ideas for metaphors to help me craft my message."

Live Kind Co.

"Ally was our OUTSTANDING MC for our Women in Leadership Summit in Adelaide, November 2022. From the start Ally was a dream to work with on this summit! She brought enthusiasm, energy and attention to detail to every step of the process - this was even before she stepped foot on the stage. The light and laughter she brought with her to a room full of amazing women leaders left them all inspired, confident and ready to take on the world. I am already excited for the next project we get to collaborate on together. Thank you Ally for being amazing!"
