What our Corporate Clients are Saying
I have worked with Merle for over 10 years, through some incredibly challenging times building a tech startup in the climate change sector. Merle’s approach to “people & culture” is totally unique and she is able to produce extraordinary outcomes for executives and teams at all levels. Her deep understanding of the human condition is unparalleled and her ability to translate across different styles, personalities and teams continually astounds me.
“she is able to produce extraordinary outcomes for executives and teams at all levels”
Merle helped me to shape a challenging team of strong-willed executives into a well-oiled machine that went on to build a world class product and business which was ultimately acquired by IBM in January 2022.

Merle helped us develop a change proposition that was solid and well thought through, one that would pass the pressure that it would be put under by the various stakeholders. Merle undertook a body of work with my key managers to help them become more resilient, to help them own the change themselves and take on the empowerment that we were giving them to make the change happen. Her contribution in this project was nothing short of astounding, my managers blossomed, they took on things that they never thought they could do, things I thought they would never be able to do.
“Her contribution in this project was nothing short of astounding”
Merle coached them and cajoled them, made them believe in themselves, but most of all she supported them through the very toughest parts and they never gave up. Her contribution was vital, without her I am sure we would have failed.

“This new awareness and understanding of myself has beena game changer!”
Merle is a passionate, insightful, and highly intelligent person and I feel very grateful to have crossed paths with her. Throughout the program, I dove deeply into myself and learned how to apply and leverage my archetypes to get the best out of myself in any given situation. This new awareness and understanding of myself has been a game changer! It was a wonderful experience and I cannot speak highly enough of it. Another highlight for me was forming deep connections with the other women on the program and my confidant/mentor.

I have had the great privilege of working with Merle this past year. Her supportive, empathetic approach has ignited deep reflection on my strengths, and where I find happiness and value at work. Her archetype model provides an objective framework through which one can self-assess and drive personal changes from their own power and style.

Amongst the tremendous global change of the pandemic, personal change (returning to work after maternity leave) and workplace change. Merle is both incredibly intelligent and down to earth, relatable and wise. She has had true impact on my development and growth.
