Coaching
“It is clear to me that without Tony Draper,
my professional career, and indeed my life, would not have reached
its current heights. Tony saw potential in me. Through his extraordinary
skills as a coach, my dreams soon became a reality.”
Stephen Dale
Principal, Smiling Tiger
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“DraperCo helped
me piece together my random thoughts into a coordinated vision
for the company I assumed control of eight months ago.
“Thanks largely to Tony’s willingness and ability
to listen and prompt, those sporadic thoughts are now in black
and white as my vision for the company. I can confidently
act on this vision knowing it has withstood a rigorous review
within this forum.
“Tony’s
assistance has given me a renewed confidence in my ability
to achieve the growth targets I have set.”
RKP
General Manager, Building Refurbishment

“Business coaching is completely new to me. I guess I’m
like most sales people in that I believe I have everything under
control and little to gain from coaching.
“After talking
to Tony Draper, I soon realised that I had lost focus on the
growth of my business and achieving my original objectives.
Tony allowed me to have a good look at the way I do things
and determine whether they were getting me to where I wanted.
“I was thoroughly impressed with Tony’s
knowledge and professionalism and would highly recommend him.”
Scott Stevenson

“The coaching
process consisted of reflective discussions where I could form
goals, evaluate my achievement of those goals and analyse impediments.
The coaching sessions explored my attitudes and actions in
work and home situations and my perception of the attitudes
and actions of those around me.
“The coaching
was non-directive. Instead it reflected back to me my previously
stated intentions and opinions to facilitate learning.
“It was confronting to the extent
of not allowing careless or thoughtless ambitions without reflecting
on the consequences. I was required to explain poorly formed
or ‘spontaneous’ opinions
and differentiate between fact and opinion.”
Mike Westerman
Managing Director, Engineering Services
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Both the team and personal coaching by Tony Draper have
been of great benefit to me and my firm. It has helped me to
focus on personal and team goals and to take action to achieve
those goals.”
Michael van Baarle
Partner, Hillhouse Burrough McKeown

Facilitating
“Congratulations for an exciting and personally rewarding
experience. Tony proved to be a masterful facilitator with a
plethora of real stories that keep you focused and engaged. The
sessions flowed, while the professionalism and sophistication
of our training unleashed its power.”
James Darling
Managing Director, DBM Australia
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“As a facilitator,
Tony utilises a refreshing style; an effective blend of knowledge
transfer, provocative questioning and practicality. His delivery
seamlessly bridges objective information and structured approaches
with the real-world application of coaching techniques.
“The learning
experience that Tony provides is appreciable, and more important,
useful. As an executive who has gleaned insight from many talented
professionals, I heartily endorse Tony and his coaching qualifications.”
Eric Tonningsen
Consultant, Ted Chin & Company
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Tony genuinely
connected with each of us. He has a very engaging, witty and
effective facilitation style which allowed all participants
to achieve the outcomes of the program. I found his preparation
and planning of each session to be extremely professional and
thorough. He used great adult learning processes, methodologies
and feedback mechanisms.
“Tony covered
an enormous amount of information and theory, which was backed
up with practical skill development opportunities. In a nutshell,
he took 18 people and over six days turned us into 18 competent
coaches. I commend him as a facilitator and a masterful coach.”
Virginia Thompson
Director, Australian Coaching Academy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I was thoroughly impressed with his pace, energy, depth
of knowledge and ability to elicit insightful comments, while
holding the focus and staying on track. I was able to walk away
with useful tools and techniques that will assist my business
and clients.”
Jan Terkelsen
Wellness Coach & Consultant
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Through the course I was impressed with Tony’s
level of organisation, his clear and diverse communication styles
and his ability to relate to all of us in the group (18 people
from varied backgrounds and industries) in a way that got the
message across.
“Having attended
a number of training courses over the last 23 years in careers
with the Armed Services, the Police and private sector, I have
no hesitation in commending Tony as one of the most professional
and effective facilitators I have experienced.”
