Your Success Is Our Success
We know your company is not box-shaped, so we’re not going to try and fit you into one. We are only interested in providing corporate training that is going to bring you the success you want.
Immediate Results, Lasting Change
We commit ourselves to delivering immediate results and lasting change. In every aspect of work performance, success is 80% mindset and 20% tactics. Get the mindset right and people will be chasing you to learn the tactics.
The Momentum Approach
Our unique model focuses on building massive momentum across all levels of the business as we support our partners in maximizing return on investment.

Custom Training Solutions, Tailored For You
Our passion is to help businesses elevate their team’s performance, to achieve a new level of success.
Our corporate training changes behaviour and harnesses people’s potential. We do this by:
- Understanding key issues your business is facing;
- Understanding what success looks like to you;
- Designing, developing and delivering customized corporate training solutions that change behaviors;
- Evaluating the results to ensure we have achieved success.
Nothing Off-The-Shelf
We don’t have off-the-shelf training programmes because we are passionate about designing, developing and delivering business-specific corporate training that aligns with your organisation's values, vision and strategic goals.
Freeing You To Dream Again
We exist to free senior managers from having to work down so they can focus on working up, allowing strategy and future goals to be their focus. We develop all members of the team to be self-leaders and elevate their performance.
“Thank you for helping us become more independent! I have been using lots of strategies that you taught us and really enjoying the changes that I have made since completing the programme. I am really grateful for the whole leadership journey that I am on!”

Meet Our Team
Denise Scott-Lister
Managing Director
As a business leader, I am an ardent believer that the workplace should be a place where people grow, develop and thrive. In my own efforts to live this out, I have twice led a business to be a finalist in the “Best Places to Work in New Zealand” (small business category).
I have been involved in education and training for more than two decades and frequently travel overseas to learn from the leaders in their field. In the past 2 years alone I have trained with Tony Robbins, Dr John Demartini, Scott Harris and Keith Cunningham.
Based on the belief that, in all areas of life, the recipe for success is consistently 80% mindset and 20% tactics, I work hard to ensure our training places as much emphasis on personal development as professional development. Connect with me on LinkedIn.
Sharnell Duncan
Client Success Manager
Having spent 18 years as a leader in the service industry, I am passionate about growing people.
My background is in large format retail management, specialising in team leadership, marketing and customer experience. I’ve been privileged to see increased store culture, consistent year-on-year sales growth and professional development of the people I lead.
I love to use my business experience to increase performance and productivity in the organisations we serve. I design and deliver programs in a way that excites and motivates participants to shift store culture and develop positive behaviours that have an impact on their lives and the business they work in.
Maree Walters
Client Success Manager
It is a privilege to guide and change lives. I have been facilitating the learning process over the last 25+ years, from one-day training events to NZ Diploma in Management programmes, providing positive growth and supporting participants to add to their life and professional toolboxes. To empower another’s journey is a humbling experience and I am consistently reminded of the importance of a ‘guiding hand’ from the feedback received from participants.
The two BIG things this has taught me: you are never too young or old to learn something new and never under estimate the impact you have on another's life, no matter how small or insignificant you may believe it to be. My passion is changing lives – one life at a time.
Deborah Neilson
Workplace Literacy Coordinator
Changing people's lives through education in the workplace ignites my passion.
I am excited when a new idea has an impact on an individual, team, family and community. This is what drives me to create programmes, in conjunction with the needs of businesses, that make a difference.
I have been involved in the area of workplace, vocational and adult education for the last fifteen years and have always found it a stimulating and satisfying area to work in.

Carryn Wilkins

Kelley O’Hara
PA to Managing Director
I have been very fortunate to enjoy a great career that is interesting, exciting and full of opportunities for on-going growth and learning.
My extensive work history includes a wide range of Executive Assistant and Personal Assistant roles with various internationally owned companies, government departments and large private-sector companies.
