“Rebecca has played a vital role in bringing the Britz EVolve (NZ’s first Electric Motorhome) to market in New Zealand. Quite simply we could not have done this without her leadership. Passionate, determined, huge capacity to take on many tasks, excellent stakeholder management and an outstanding focus on outcomes and delivery describes Rebecca’s character and skill. We’ve been lucky to have her in our business.”
“Rebecca was selected to join our business based on her extensive project experience and her obvious expertise in the field of sustainability. While only with us for a relatively short time, her contribution to our project was immense. From day one Rebecca harnessed our project requirements, and led the development of a comprehensive business case which was of high quality, particularly considering the time and resource pressures which were facing our business. While not afraid to challenge existing business thinking, Rebecca displayed an engaging approach to bring stakeholders on the journey, all while remaining steadfast in her commitment to project management fundamentals. During her time within Qualmark Rebecca also successfully managed a small project team which included both contract and internal people. I would be glad to work with Rebecca again in the future, because I’m confident she is one of those people who gets things done, on brief and on time.”
“I engaged Rebecca Agent to coach me through the process of re-establishing the consultancy business I had bought away from my former employer. She got straight to the heart of the challenge, guiding me through the fundamental decisions that needed to be made in order to create clear focus and prioritise, and also to align how my business could grow in line with what meant most to me in accordance with my personal values. She has a way of cutting through the fluff yet delivering sound, actionable, motivating guidance with warmth, energy and charm. At the end of our set of coaching sessions, I had a clear plan and set of deliverables to focus on. Looking back, I can see the impact Rebecca’s guidance had and do my best to stay true to her advice today.”
“Rebecca was a wonderful mentor and coach when I was planning my transition from working in New Zealand to moving overseas. She shared her direct strategic experience, provided rich context to help my decision-making, and generously opened up her network to those in the field of corporate sustainability. I was impressed by her kind, warm nature, and how she expertly guided me through a series of steps that pushed me and gave me the confidence to pursue new offshore roles. Coaching has been hugely beneficial in my life, and I continue to use it as an important tool to make progress both personally and professionally.”
“It’s a breath of fresh air working with such a passionate and knowledgeable individual. Rebecca lead a key organizational project that we worked closely on for two months. It was a pleasure and an invaluable opportunity to work, learn and observe Rebecca’s vast skillset and experience. Above all, I was impressed with Rebecca’s stakeholder engagement skills, by bringing people onboard through empowering and including them on the shared vision and projects purpose. I would highly recommend Rebecca to any organization with the extensive value Rebecca can add. It would be an honor to have the opportunity to work with Rebecca again”
