Bio
Andrew Au 區天驥
I really enjoyed working with Deon and wouldn't hesitate to hire her again in the future. She really knew our business deeply and was proactive in coming to us with solutions that often had pretty immediate impact. We worked together in a collaborative and partner-like way and it felt like she was part of our extended team. Deon is truly collaborative and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Deon and Talent+ have been incredibly impactful in working with our global sales team prior to, during, and following the pandemic. Their approach in focusing on individual’s strengths and how to utilize those strengths to collaborate as a team has been extremely beneficial in supporting both personal and professional growth. We’ve also appreciated Deon’s approach which is consistently in the spirit of positivity, care, and development to create a successful learning environment, and would highly recommend Deon and Talent+ to support performance excellence.

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Deon over the years. Through her programmes and insightful coaching, she has helped many company leaders discover and harness their strengths, allowing them to be more effective and decisive leaders. Deon herself has a giving spirit and is always ready to help. Many industry leaders and I still seek her advice in matters, both personally and for work.
