Lake Macquarie City Council’s, City Works Department, comprises a workforce of approximately 400 staff, and despite having a robust safety management system we found we were continuing to hurt too many people. My leadership team and I realised that in order to improve our safety performance, we needed to focus on improving the behaviours and attitudes of our people. Kate transformed a group of people that in general, didn’t see themselves as leaders and thought safety was management's responsibility (not theirs), to a group that were willing and empowered to: take ownership of their personal safety and that of their team’s; not only be accountable, but expected to be held accountable for their team’s safety performance, and; be true leaders and safety role models for their teams. Kate’s ability to engage, entertain, challenge, and motivate a diverse audience ranging from senior managers to hard construction workers, was truly impressive. The investment of 2 days with Kate has given our safety culture the sort of kick start and penetration that would have taken us months, even years, on our own.

Bulletproof Performance delivered a series of Performance Under Pressure workshops for Major Road Projects Victoria. Our project offices and head office teams participated in workshops facilitated by Kate Smolenska. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. Employees left the course feeling that they received new and useful tools to help them succeed in their roles and remain resilient in a continuously changing environment. Kate was a great facilitator and was able to tailor the course content to suit MRPV’s operating environment.

The Bulletproof Performance Coaching program helped me to perform at my best. Rhett focused on fixing my health first, now I see why. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind and a healthy mind is resilient. It is better prepared to deal with stress and anxiety. It is nimble and can move with change. I had no idea what I could achieve. My belief in myself is back. The program showed me to be grateful for what I have and what I have achieved.

The Bulletproof Performance programme is very engaging and different to other programmes on the market. They capture the worker’s attention and engage them whilst sending powerful messages about key management role fundamentals. I'd recommend Bulletproof Performance to everyone to get the best out of their people, and also to teach key management personnel the critical steps required to ensure the Bulletproof message is not forgotten throughout the job.

Bulletproof Performance are helping us to develop the behaviours we need to be not just smart individuals, but also a healthy team. They are helping us to build the type of culture that is required for the team to perform under pressure. The mixture of coaching, lunch & learns and workshops is proving an effective and balanced approach to equip us with the right skills and strategies.

Bulletproof Performance are absolute professionals to work with.  Their workshops have helped the team to develop strategies to manage through high pressure and stressful situations, leading to a better workplace culture and improved results for the agency.

Bulletproof Performance has helped my team embed a 'fit for work' framework across all of our staff, by presenting specific awareness programs on drug and alcohol, managing fatigue and understanding resilience. BP has helped lead both our Executive Leadership Team and our workers on that path.

Bulletproof Performance has helped my team to instil new behaviours and management practices within our workplace. We have established agreed values as part of a continuous improvement program. Together with individual and small group coaching sessions for our leaders, these initiatives are guiding a more positive and engaged culture across the entire team.

Bulletproof Performance have helped our teams by providing bespoke targeted training to a wide range of different workgroups, from management to shop floor workers, to an enhanced performance in the overall team. The outputs in terms of ownership and accountability performance have been measurable and sustained over the 16 month period that Bulletproof Performance have been engaged working with the team.

Bulletproof Performance has helped my team realise their health and wellbeing has an impact on their professional success, and their work life balance.
