I recently did the PMC course with Marko and it was an excellent experience. The content was first class and he managed the presenters and the group very well. He is easy to approach, helpful and engaging. Could not recommend Marko (or the course) more highly

Marko is a highly experienced, well-known and accomplished member of the legal profession. He shows dedication and commitment to his leadership role at the Queensland Law Society - Practice Management Course (PMC) and his position of Secretariat to the PMC Committee. As part of the facilitation team and also a member of the committee, I have had the pleasure of working closely with Marko for many years and have benefited greatly from his corporate governance and project management skills. All committee members are kept fully informed by Marko and he provides the perfect amount of detail on important governance issues, as well as always keeping us on track. Marko’s approachability and supportive leadership style results in a positive and encouraging work environment. He can successfully engage with stakeholders at all organisational levels and creates high-trust, long-lasting relationships. He has built a reputation for delivering highly effective and timely outcomes for projects. Marko is simply a joy to work with and is a highly valued member to any team and organisation.
