I highly recommend Sharon as an exceptional HR manager. With unwavering commitment, professionalism, and outstanding interpersonal skills, she creates an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued. Sharon's extensive knowledge of HR practices ensures compliance and drives productivity, while her inclusive leadership style empowers teams to thrive. She is a true asset to any organisation in need of a dedicated and strategic HR leader. Sharon's exceptional qualities make her the epitome of an outstanding HR manager. Her commitment, professionalism, and expertise position her as an invaluable asset. I wholeheartedly recommend Sharon for any HR leadership position, as she will undoubtedly drive success and make significant contributions wherever she goes. It is a privilege to work alongside her and witness her exceptional abilities firsthand.

Sharon is a very experienced change and transformation manager of culture, L&D / HR / IT systems and processes. She is able to positively encourage people within an organisation to adapt and embrace change. In the 3 years that I worked with Sharon at RANZCR, she capably moved the organisation from being paper based to being 85% digital based. She successfully led this transformation utilising her: exceptional communication skills (consulting, networking, presenting to the Board, two Councils and numerous committees, solid communication planning); influencing skills (particularly of key members); decisiveness; systems understanding; firm project management skills; people skills; and leadership skills (both within the organisation and within her team). Sharon managed to make maximum use of the diverse talents of all team members which in turn developed team momentum, enthusiasm and pride in all projects.
