Jacquie Molloy - Client Testimonials

What Others Say

Due to the confidential nature of much of my client work, and sometimes due to client organisation protocols, I can't always reveal the organisation’s, or individual’s, name. When I can, I do. Where I offer a description only, please trust that these are still bona fide testimonials.

If you have any questions — or would like to speak directly to any of these individuals (that is certainly possible for some of my clients) — please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Extraordinary insights

‘Working with Jacquie has been incredibly valuable for me at this stage in my career. She has extraordinary insights into the behaviours that are typical of the Board and Executive domains. And her theatre background is a rich source of energy/preparation techniques that complement her communication strategies to perform well in those environments. She is a pleasure to work with: candid, warm and very flexible in dealing with an unpredictable work schedule.’

— Managing Director, Apparel Manufacturing company

The heart of the issue

‘I have worked with Jacq for more than a decade. On some very big corporate transformations and day-to-day blocking and tackling. She is AAA. Gun barrel straight, very sharp and truly excellent in her mastery of communications. (She has an absolute passion for language and words.) Not daunted by very senior people, she is a great confidante and adviser. Jacq gets to the heart of the issue. She can frame the overall communications strategy and be on top of the tiniest detail. Finally, Jacq has a great sense of humour - much appreciated on late nights and long days. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.’

— Charles Sitch

Ready to cut to the chase?

‘Jacquie Molloy’s great skill is that she is able to help people in business get the right message across clearly.

Jacquie has been involved with business at the highest levels for two decades and knows how to seamlessly integrate communications awareness into the mix and add value quickly.

I have worked with Jacquie as both colleague and client and know there is a lot more depth to her than the usual brand of ‘corporate coach’ or ‘writer and trainer’.

In particular, she can coach and counsel those who are entering the senior corporate space — whether that is senior management or Board level — to ‘hit the ground running’ and
strengthen all of their communications skills.’

— Alison Watkins, CEO, GrainCorp

The Truth Teller

‘I have used Jacquie’s professional services for more than 15 years. Her professional approach and expertise ensure that our communications fully support the project objectives and business imperative.

Her years of experience working with senior corporates, as well as her ability to very quickly ‘get up to speed’ with the project or issue at hand, means that our discussions get specific very quickly.

She is not just an accomplished communications specialist, she is also a truth-teller and her feedback and guidance is always direct and spot-on.’

— Managing Partner, Global Management Consultancy, Asia

Months ahead of schedule

‘Jacquie has guided me to make a real improvement in both my communication and problem solving skills through a well-structured 1:1 mentoring and coaching program. Through our work together I have gained a greater appreciation of the importance of the right planning and preparation in my communication process — for both internal stakeholders and my clients — and received the tools and approaches to do it.

Jacquie’s direct style and her constructive and detailed feedback on my client work helped translate what I was learning into quick-wins, especially in my written communications.

Although my firm had identified me as a high potential, the marked improvement in my communications
allowed me to move into a Manager role, months ahead of schedule and my peers,
even before I had completed the program with Jacquie.’

— Manager, a Tier-1 Global Management, Consulting Firm

Your best communications resource

‘Jacquie won't, and doesn't, hold back in testing your thoughts. She will ask the hard questions, she will drill down to the core of the issue, and she simply won't accept unsupported, or illogical, ‘business speak’. Working together in a trusted relationship, different approaches are explored in building the communications strategy — whether that be for an important meeting, an RFP response, a presentation, or a strategic planning session.’

— Adrian Finlayson, CEO, Wishlist Holdings Ltd | accumulate | wishlist.com.au | evoucher.com.au | Vii

Best on the day

‘I have just given the presentation for International Women's Day. I had many people come up to me to tell me that my talk was the best on the day.

I felt so good about making an impact and delivering a great speech (and I didn't use any notes).

Thanks for all your help!’

— Emma Carter, Youth Development Officer Cardinia Shire Council

More confidence

‘Working with Jacquie has led me to make some significant changes in the way I use my time and how I interact with my team and colleagues.

Because of the insight and care she has shown through this process, and the tools we have used, I have more confidence in stating, and negotiating, what I need to achieve the right outcomes.’

— Tess Tholstrup, Organisational Psychologist & Facilitator, Axialent

The best advice

‘Two weeks later and much of the discussion at your workshop is still resonating in my head — it has been really useful. Thank you!’

— Glenda George, Community Planning, Cardinia Shire Council

'Tremendous! You have helped me to rethink and to communicate how I position myself in this area. You have an absolute talent at putting into words what one is trying to say.'

— Virginia Mansour, Non-Executive Director
