Founded in 2000 by Chantal Burns, Star Consultancy is the combined efforts of an expert team of business trainers and coaches. With a wealth of experience and an enduring passion for developing star performance, you will always be delighted with the results you get when you partner with us.
Our 'STAR' approach
The following are guiding principles that serve as a sense check for all that we do.
Simplicity: because the world is complex enough
Thorough: exploring possibilities, challenging thinking, covering all bases
Accessible: open minded, practical, honest dialogue
Responsive: flexible, timely action, listening
Our passionate love of learning guides the design and feel of all our events.
We make stronger connections when we enjoy ourselves and approach what we do with a playful spirit.
Ensuring Success
It’s important to embark on projects with a clear brief including success criteria and evaluation methods. This helps to ensure you get the results you want and need.
We’re always happy to assist in this important stage of the process. What our clients tell us they want and what they actually need aren’t always the same!
Sometimes there is more important work to be done which precedes any training or coaching activity.
This is where our consulting services may be more appropriate.
