I had the pleasure of attending an interactive workshop at Mumbrella SAGE run by the ever vibrant and engaging Janey Francis from Scarlett Strategic Solutions. From the beginning until the end, Janey was absolutely exceptional and this workshop easily stood out as the highlight of the day. Built around the idea of emotional intelligence, Janey was able to easily explain and bring to life a complex topic in a short period of time, giving attendees unique insights into ourselves, our colleagues and our clients. There is no doubt this was highly valued within the business, encouraging our leadership team to take this back to the office and share the knowledge which we still refer to today. I would highly recommend attending a workshop with Janey Francis - it just might transform your mindset, your team and your business!

I found Janey wonderful to work with when I needed business coaching for my high-end boutique interior design company. She is highly engaging, has an incredible bank of knowledge, and as her business name suggests, she uses a very strategic approach for what needs to be done and when. No matter how big or small the business I would highly recommend Janey's services.Kym Lackmann

Dayna Russell - Global Administration Manager
Janey is a breath of fresh air. From the moment I sat down for the course, Janey emanated passion for sharing her knowledge and experience. Although she is very encouraging of drawing your own conclusions she has a balanced faciltation style of guiding her disciples to think outside of the box. Strategy and business is not always according to the text book and Janey really brought her personal experience and professional expertise to each session. I was able to get to know more about myself and leadership style throughout her sessions and with use of the HBDI theory results. Thank you Janey!

Joëlle Muns - Vic/Tas Regional Manager
Hello Janey, I just wanted to let you know that I found your "What if" strategic planning program to be really interesting, fabulously informative and very thought provoking. Your presentation and all your material flowed in such a way that allowed me to build up a picture of what my business is, how I operate and most importantly who my customers are and how to gain an understanding of what it is that they might want from me in terms of product and services. You gave us tools the caused us to think about how we can move forward. The pace at which you moved through was perfect, with no time wasted. Time where we could develop firm ideas and have plenty of information to further apply the process. Thanks for everything - you have put me on the right track for great business development. Many, many thanks again,

Lauchean Duncan - Calligrapher/Designer & Manager
The delivery of the HBDI model by Janey, was fantastic. The entire group was sincerely engaged and interested to learn more about themselves and others thinking preference. Janey’s ability to encourage the group to uncover their thinking styles created a great dynamic within the team that allowed them to explore and engage in a thought process that discovered their key strengths as well as preferred areas for development. As the session progressed everyone was keen to identify their own preferred thinking style and how they responded to things under pressure. Some of the best outcomes of the day were created through the groups awareness and understanding of thinking in alternate preferences, together with the importance of how this information can be used to explore a diverse range of options to develop a whole brain approach to so many areas of our business. We look forward to the continuity and success of using the HBDI model in our business.
