From another CEO Syndicate member

I wanted to let you know that my experience with you Chairing our CEO Syndicate was very positive.

In the six or so months so far, I've been able to find my motivation again, and have a clear understanding of what I need to do to get where I want to go. I've learnt so much and honestly joining the group has been on the most positive experiences of my life.

In part, of course, that's because of being part of the CEO Institute, but also you had a big contribution in your leadership style and in how you challenged my thinking. The next chair has really big shoes to fill. So, thank you for that

Chairing companies combined with mentoring

Neville Christie is one of Australia’s leading corporate entrepreneurs, innovators, company director-chairmen, and mentor of CEOs.

In 2019, after 46 years as a professional company director and chairman, and innovator, his unparalleled insights, business acumen, and passion for developing people are more highly sought after than ever before.

In the corporate world there is a plethora of consultants, coaches and non-executive directors who purport to add value the businesses as they face key challenges in managing growth, change, innovation, and transformation.

As I see it, Neville Christie is unique.

He holds all the usual accreditations we expect from trusted advisors – an MBA, Post-Graduate diplomas, and even founding fellowship of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

However, Neville Christie is unique because he doesn’t merely direct, consult, coach or mentor – he owns the result with you in the following ways:
  • guiding you financially and emotionally through to a high growth path, then trade sale, private equity injection, management buy out or buy in, of successful company float.
  • creating greater stakeholder value than you first imagined
  • creating innovation, merger, acquisition and alliance opportunities that previously didn’t exist
  • attracting the right capital and resources to drive your business
  • providing you, your Board and executive team with foresight and insight on strategy, pitfalls, risk management and governance issues.

Neville Christie grows businesses, protects them from failure, creates new opportunities and transfers his know-how and knowledge to you and your executive team, so all new initiatives become sustainable.

Whatever it takes – Neville Christie makes it happen. End of story!

Many executive and non-executive directors bring a wealth of experience and talent to their board, yet little of those corporate assets get translated into profitable business initiatives and programs.

Neville Christie’s unique talent as a company chairman is as much about leveraging that existing expertise as it is adding his own. The outcome is a cohesive, highly effective board that routinely adds exponential value to the management team by way of strategic direction and prudent risk management.

Neville consistently proves himself to be the catalyst for that translation.

I have been working with Neville for over 20 years now, and he has consistently made a significant contribution to me, and to my various businesses.

He is one of the best listeners I know and has always provided valuable advice – advice in the form of business tools and ‘speaking from experience’ – rather than the advice you would get from a school principal telling you what to do.

He has added high value on an individual level and also in the board room – often through asking questions that others ignore or don’t know to ask.

Neville's core competencies include developing strategy, psychology in business and always thinking with an "opportunity hat" on.

At every level, Neville lives and breathes ‘Business with Soul’

Neville is a man whom I respect for his ability to assist business owners to break out of their comfort zone, and inspire them to develop new approaches to thinking.

If working with Neville, has taught me anything (he has taught me many things), it's that I must increase my capacity, productivity and skills to match my dreams, rather than reduce my dreams to that which I can currently do.

CURRENT INNOVATION ROUNDTABLES

CURRENT INNOVATION ROUNDTABLES

At this year’s Innovation RoundTable, I have been introduced to a wonderful community of supporting and like-hearted humans. Through the year, I have enjoyed reading the supplied content, working with both Helen and Neville as well as engaging with the monthly meet-ups. Neville, in particular, has provided me with exceptional mentoring, coaching and friendship throughout a challenging year for me personally and I am deeply grateful for all that I have experienced.

I find the RoundTable is unique as it feels more like a community than a business mastermind. The experience is loaded with aligned humans that are willing to share themselves with an intention to make a positive impact on the people and world around them.

I decided to be part of the RT because, in the midst of a major directional change in my career and personal life, I was at a point where I felt I could use some guidance and support. I I would recommend the RT as it has absolutely provided me with all that I could have hoped for and more. All interactions with the RT community have been welcome, supportive, informative and fulfilling and would add value to the life of anyone considering joining.
