Campbelltown City Council

Campbelltown Council has been utilizing the consulting skills of Rod Soper/Thinkers Inc for the past 3/4 years. We have found Rod to be professional, insightful and prepared to encourage our team to move outside of their comfort zone and really challenge their thinking and practices.

Rod offers a very positive and proactive approach to transforming change through both his work with individual team members and larger teams and we have experienced positive outcomes as a result of Rod’s facilitation skills. We have been fortunate enough to use Rod for individual coaching, team action research projects and conference keynote and workshop sessions. We would highly recommend Rod for your business.

I first met Rod at an early childhood conference where I was instantly captivated by his enthusiasm and ability to engage the audience in reflective thinking. Years later I had the opportunity to work alongside Rod who was pioneering an action research project. Rod travelled to our 2 services and delivered what would soon become life-altering professional development for our teams. The training delivered by Rod opened the minds and hearts of our entire service and established our journey of critical reflection and improvement planning and allowed us to participate in the action research project. The training session delivered was inspirational, informative and fun. Rod has a unique and powerful ability to evoke emotional reactions with his audience, this is where the real change starts! Our team of Educators walked away feeling a great sense of responsibility
Rod offered consistent mentoring and support during our project and during this time Rod shared his in-depth knowledge of leadership, early education and change management.
Rod was proactive in helping us to identify our challenges and provided recommendations for resolving them. His ability to keep us focused on the core goals of the project, help collect and collate supporting material and guide us in the right direction has been invaluable to us. I have no hesitation in recommending Rod’s services and support to any organisation who is seeking support or inspiration for organisational change and professional development.
