Ally was a great presenter; she was able to use real-life examples to support the theories. I have gained a lot from this program so I'll definitely be recommending it to other women.

She is able to guide and encourage those requiring focus and clarity in their lives, through positive thinking and goal setting. Her life experience as a business woman and mother makes her an excellent coach and role model for other women."

JASON, BUSINESS OWNER
Thank you Ally for helping me unblock some of my bad eating habits. I’ve had a bad relationship with food for many years, relying on it as a stress reliever, for that quick burst of momentary pleasure, all whilst stacking on the kilos. I’ve tried every fad diet you can think of, but they are just not sustainable and the true underlying problem still remained.
​
Thanks to our hypnosis sessions, my eating and cravings have been turned on its head. Your suggestions whilst under hypnosis have stuck and it’s just amazing. To not have those half hourly battles of thinking about food, the frustrations, the anxiety - its been an amazing turnaround! I am so grateful for our sessions and will highly recommend you to all I know! Thank you, thank you!
SILVIA
I've been using the Crush It Daily' planner every morning and what I love is that it really sets you up for a great day, with plans and focus. I love all the sections, where you are celebrating wins, you think about what gets you excited, writing the top 10 goals as an affirmation and many more gold nuggets. I can highly recommend using if for creating focus, purpose and achievement in your life.
LUCY FELTUS, OP SHOP ASSISTANT MANAGER
Ally took us on such a great personal and professional journey. I am beginning a new career and Ally gave me the tools to feel confident and assertive. We learnt a lot about our individual personalities and how this can help us be productive and successful in the workplace. Ally was engaging and took the time to get to know us before the course which made it feel really personal. I walked out of the classroom each day with my head held high and my confidence boosted. A big thank you. I am no longer afraid to have courageous conversations!
EMILY, EMERGING LEADER
I found the Step Into Leadership workshop really engaging and motivating!
DONNA, EMERGING LEADER
Ally is a great coach and I feel lucky to have worked with her. She has managed to empower me to go from confused to clear on where i want to head. She provides lots of great resources, encouragement, and is realistic but knows when to give me the push to go for for I AM MADE FOR!
TALLORA, BUSINESS OWNER
I've used services like Ally's before, but she has been the best! She explains things clearly and makes you feel at ease, is professional and knows her stuff. I highly recommend!
GAYLE KOTHARI, SENIOR LEADER RSPCA SA
Ally's coaching allowed me to enhance my influence as a leader not only in my professional life but also in my personal life. Coaching has helped me to master my communication style and uncover blocks to my personal success. If you are willing to look deeply and honestly within yourself so that you can reach your highest potential then Ally is the perfect guide.
FIONA TURNER, CHIEF ADMIN OFFICER WCHA
It has all been extremely valuable! It has reignited my leadership energy which has been a lesser priority in recent times due to my dual role.
DANIEL CRAGO, GENERAL MANAGER
Ally is a legend. I have engaged Ally several times to work with staff to improve their communication and leadership. We invited her to run a session at our planning day on courageous conversations. She had the whole group engaged throughout the session and they haven't stopped taking about it since. It is also great to see the team put into practice what they have learnt each day. Highly recommend her for any business that wants to stay ahead of the game.
NAT MORLEY, COO KWP
The amount of actionable info packed into such a short space of time - Brilliant
KATE BURR, BUSINESS OWNER
From the moment she started speaking, Ally had the audience captivated with her stories, humour and content. She was so well-spoken and professional and I received so much value from her message around how to improve my leadership skills of not only my business but my life. She also somehow managed to get me back a few hours of "me-time" every day which I am now thoroughly enjoying! Thank you Ally!!
DONNA ADAMS, MANAGER NDIS
Ally is a great coach and I feel lucky to have worked with her. She has managed to empower me to go from confused to clear on where I want to head. She provides lots of great resources, encouragement, and is realistic but also knows when to give me the push to go for what I am made for!!
ALEXANDRA PAXINOS, SPENCE CLUB
Ally is an authentic and engaging leadership coach with so much passion for what she does. Having heard her speak previously at a SheCreates event, we engaged Ally on behalf of Spence Club Inc to speak to our members about the Love Languages of Leadership. Hosted on the last day of a state-wide lockdown, the event was such a success, with members still referring to the learnings of the session and sharing what they learned with others. Ally brings so much enthusiasm to any workshop she delivers, and has no problem in keeping her audience captivated throughout. We were thrilled to be joined by her and look forward to hearing her speak at future events, each which offer bite-sized pieces of take-away information that's easy to remember and implement in our day-to-day lives. Thank you, Ally, from all of us at Spence Club!
ALEXIS, THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE
Ally was engaged to present a session at a “Grow your Career Week” event and spoke about the 6 Daily Habits for success to a University student audience. Ally’s relatable style was perfect for her audience which meant the students were able to relate to the content and use the information to forge their own version of success in study and in life. We had wonderful feedback from participants. I would highly recommend Ally as a guest speaker.
JO-ANN MILLIGAN, MANAGER
Thank you Ally for the 5 full days of Courageous Leaders, I have taken many leadership and training programs though the years and none have made me come away feeling more empowered than this one. Ally has a unique way of getting you to engage in the conversation throughout the course and getting you to really see the areas you need to concentrate on. Ally is extremely talented with her training style keeps you challenging you thoughts and actions while coming to solutions to react and think differently going forward. I felt Ally to be very genuine in her delivery and full of life , she is the kind of person you want to be around. I encourage anyone to take Ally’s training, it is one big step forward. I thank you for opening my eyes up again.
KERRYN PAGE, CEO QUISK
Jason and I were uncertain about how our team would engage in our first team goal-setting and planning session. Some of our team had never been through a formal process so we were unsure on the level of engagement we could get through the process.
We were thrilled to see each of them engage and feel comfortable enough to provide thought provoking responses. The feedback at the end was faultless and it was an incredibly worthwhile process for not just us as individuals, but for the team. Thank you Ally
NIGEL MORRIS, CEO
As I reflect on the past year I wanted to thank you for the impact you had on my leadership journey in 2021. Joining the CEO Advisory Boardroom allowed me to confidentially bounce ideas of an independent leadership coach in a fun and engaging way. I always looked forward to our sessions as it was a time to step back and think about high level leadership and I always came away from the sessions either confirming my approach, getting fresh ideas, looking at things differently, gaining a greater understanding of the situation but generally together we achieved all of the above mixed in together. The CEO Advisory Boardroom enhanced my leadership that my whole organisation benefited from. If anyone is sitting on the fence working with you, send them my way.
ALICE CAMERON, DIVISIONAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER, OFFICE OF ACADEMIC & STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Thanks for being so accommodating Ally, your professionalism and organisation is second to none. I was really impressed by your ability to tailor your message to the context of the event and ensure its application to the organisational change that was being implemented. Our guests commented that you were warm, engaging, used humour well, had a great pace and relevant messaging. You really contributed to a successful morning.
SALLY A CURTIS, MARKETING PROBLEM SOLVER
Ally did a fabulous job speaking to her peeps at the SA Chapter event for Professional Speakers Australia. It was totally engaging and insightful. We all learnt something in the first 10 minutes which Alley demonstrated perfectly by asking questions after storytelling. It was memorable, as we could all easily recall the key messages in the first 10 minutes! Wow, a fantastic session full of gold nuggets & actionable steps.
PETER NICHOLLS, LIFE ENJOYMENT MENTOR
I am a great believer in the value of seeing issues from a different perspective. This to me was a key reason I got so much value from Ally Nitschke’s presentation, to the SA members of Professional Speakers Australia, “The magic of storytelling to amplify your message”. That stories are the prime way of connecting with an audience is a given. Ally demonstrated how, by pushing our thinking outside the square, we can transform our stories into an experience that the audience will love as being memorable, relatable and repeatable. I can see why she won the PSA Kerrie Nairn Scholarship 2022 Award.
SCOTT McLOUGHLIN, MOBO GROUP
Ally has a great deal of experience with successfully developing teams and this is no doubt a result of her ability to connect with people through story telling.
MANDY LYONS, LIVE KIND Co.
Ally did a fantastic presentation at Professional Speakers on how to make our talks and trainings more relatable and engaging. At the end of the event Ally was very generous with her time, energy and creativity when helping me to utilise what she had taught for my current focus - Compassion Fatigue.
I was amazed at how immediately she could come up with brilliant ideas for metaphors to help me craft my message.
EMMA, EVENT PRODUCER
Ally was our OUTSTANDING MC for our Women in Leadership Summit in Adelaide, November 2022. From the start Ally was a dream to work with on this summit! She brought enthusiasm, energy and attention to detail to every step of the process - this was even before she stepped foot on the stage. The light and laughter she brought with her to a room full of amazing women leaders left them all inspired, confident and ready to take on the world. I am already excited for the next project we get to collaborate on together. Thank you Ally for being amazing!
