“Murray provided Team Development coaching for the Bright NOW executive leadership team when I was Executive Manager. His services fitted the bill and he was chosen because his proposal was warm and very much about understanding our challenges and identifying how his services would fit, vs mandating a set approach. As an outside facilitator he helped us open the space in a way that allowed us to have more honest conversations. Murray brought his experience and used it in a coaching style and was able to bring challenge to the team in a safe way. The content and style worked well, it was not too structured or formulaic, however I was reassured that there was a method that moved us through the process.

Whilst there was some uncertainly within the team, the first session opened them up to the value of the learning process and gained their full commitment. I would recommend Murray to work with leadership teams to work on team dynamics, elevating focus strategically versus operationally and to leadership teams of all levels to uplift capability and move into a space of constructive dialogue and increased strategic effectiveness.”

"Murray was recommended to me by my CEO to work with the wider leadership team at the C.ex Group. His training and international experience working in different cultures gave me confidence in his ability to work with our diverse team. The team has become more aware of how they respond in different situations and are better at pausing to choose the best response. They regularly hold each other accountable for their behaviour and communication between departments and across the Clubs is now much better. People are able to give input and feedback to others without fear. Murray also did a program with the Duty Managers which opened up their relationships across the Clubs and allowed them to talk more openly and support one another.

Murray set the tone really well. The process of creating the team charter and giving the team clarity to what they were committing to, set the foundation for the lift in accountability. Murray was able to modify his style to match the audience, pick up the vibes in the room and adjust his presentation accordingly and be sensitive to the individual personalities. He created discomfort and pushed the boundaries to lift self-awareness and encourage change."

“I first met Murray through the AFGC Grocery Program I attended in Melbourne and chose him to work with the sales team as he encouraged people to broaden their thinking, think differently and look inwardly. He puts the responsibility on individuals and gives them the levers to work through challenges for their own development and improvement.

I personally learnt to slow down and breathe and not be as impulsive. The team learnt of the need to communicate more with each other, think more about the impact of their own behaviours on each other, the whole team and what it is trying to achieve.

Murray provides a good balance for different people, he asks questions that make people think. It is delivered in a balanced and thoughtful way. There was never negativity in the sessions and he provided a positive process. I would recommend Murray to anyone looking to develop themself and their team.”

“Murray designed and delivered a development program for our hotel company emerging leaders. He had worked with the leadership team before and his proposal was clear showing timeframes, objectives and a framework for each session. The feedback from participants was really positive. They were better able to manage their team members and have the difficult conversations to hold them accountable which has rippled through the business.

Murray understands hotels and hospitality. He got participants to practice their new skills in the moment and was not afraid to challenge people in a very considered way. He also delivered a similar program for our Property Group. This was a more challenging context, however Murray brought all is experience, skills and considerable resilience to work through the program to create a greater level of self-awareness to the participants.”

“What we appreciated most about the experience was that it didn’t feel like an ‘off-the-shelf’ product.

Murray & the team took the time to understand each individual in our team, understand our group dynamics within the team, and factor in our business landscape to create a holistic customised leadership development program that placed us in the driver’s seat creating our own positive change.

This was a facilitated journey of self-discovery, true team building, and applied learning which has resulted in growth for us as individuals, as a team, and as a business.”

I was unsure about working with Murray on the Team Development Program as we hadn’t met previously at all but my first impression was very positive. He had a clear understanding of our objectives and challenges. Murray’s confidence displayed that he had the expertise and tools to assist us. He was very engaging and knowledgeable.

I chose Murray Wright because of the confidence that he projected and communicated to be able to deliver results we needed.

The benefits since using Murray Wright are that we are now a much more cohesive, honest and connected team dynamic (from one that was previously fractured and somewhat counterproductive…) and we have increased business performance and engagement.

I would definitely recommend the Team Development Program with Murray Wright due to the results achieved. Recommending Murray is a very clear and comfortable recommendation to make.

"Murray coached me during a period of significant personal and professional change - new job and a new baby. His ability to engage with warmth helped us build rapport very quickly, impressive as we were working using teleconference. He has a deep toolbox of frameworks, stories and perspectives that helped me to reflect and challenge my thinking and behaviour in a way which was robust, but not uncomfortable.

Thank you Murray, I've come out the other side of the turbulence with confidence, new personal insights and tools to help me on my development journey. I'd also recommend Murray's podcast to anyone looking for interesting perspectives from leaders and some really good questions for meaningful dialogue with teams and clients."

"I've been incredibly fortunate to be coached by Murray for the past few years.

Murray is able to draw upon both his intellectual study and professional experience of leadership to coach with authenticity and empathy. Murray is engaging and personable, he's thoughtful and productive during (and outside of) sessions - he steadily built his understanding and always seems to stay curious of me, although always discussing with candor, never preaches, assumes or judges.

I've made great improvements across personal and professional relationships thanks to Murray's insights. He's provided me the thoughts, tools and frameworks that not just build my leadership skills, but enable me to be congniscant for myself - to be my own coach.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Murray to anyone who wants to truly unpack themselves and unlock their potential."
