ANZ Small Business Banking
The AI Summit was a chance for us to bring all our staff across Australia together and encourage each other on the journey of the business. In that journey staff began to build on their experiences and to articulate solutions from what, in the past, were blockers.
We saw some of the back office staff make public announcements on how they would help the front line. This emanated from with in themselves, based on the energy and understanding of the preceding day.
I am convinced that AI enabled us to double our sales figures the following year and caused a real sense of oneness despite the geographical spread of all our staff.

Department of Planning & Community Development (DPCD)
The People and Culture Team at the Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD) received great support from Paint Group in the development of our HR Strategy for the year ahead. Paint facilitated the 2-day planning process with our team, providing clear guidance and direction throughout.
Dayle's particular strengths included: expertise and knowledge, combined with the application of her recommended appreciative inquiry model; a down to earth manner; and her ability to translate ideas into action. Paint's approach not only inspired the team but it paved the way for meaningful work to be undertaken following the completion of the planning process.

Sallie Lee – Founder, Shared Sun Studio; Principal, Innovation Partners International (USA)
I have been fortunate enough to work with Dayle for the past several years, starting with her attendance at a workshop I taught on the Foundations of Appreciative Inquiry [AI] at ANZ. Dayle integrated the material with passion and know-how, bringing her great background experience to this fresh approach to organisational collaboration. She has applied the principles of AI in innovative events and ongoing consulting that help bring out the best thinking and creativity of the client organisations. She has, in very short order, become one of the innovators in AI applications.
Having served as one of Dayle's team members and occasional coach on some projects, I can say that she is one of the most agile and perceptive consultants in designing work that gets clients what they want.

Philippa Hurford - Organisation Change Consultant & client
We (Victorian Department of Treasury & Finance's technology group) engaged Dayle as a consultant to perform the critical role of ensuring a comprehensive communications strategy was developed in alignment with our 4-year Information & Communications Technology Strategy. Dayle engaged the confidence of stakeholders across the Department, quickly grasped the complex strategic considerations, and developed a very effective communications framework to support the Strategy's roll out - all very positive and desired outcomes.

City of Greater Geelong
I have found Dayle's style to be innovative, creative, fun and challenging. The outcomes I have experienced are great and have been tailored for me. Dayle has given me practical, common sense ideas which I have transferred into my every day situation.
At the beginning we talked about a number of issues and now 8 weeks on the issues are no longer issues because I now have the skills and confidence to handle the situations as they arise.
