LEADERSHIP
A lack of leadership is always evident in the attitudes and poor performance of your employees.

Australian Corporate Challenge can work with you to create great leaders at all levels of your business.
TEAMWORK

MENTORING AND COACHING
ACC has delivered successful Mentoring and Coaching Programs to leaders and Managers world-wide. Our programs have empowered and encouraged people to maximise their own potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be.
ORGANISATIONAL DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
All businesses are organic – they are constantly growing and evolving. In order to be successful it’s imperative to renew and rework strategies, procedures and motivations to provide a clear direction for your employees. We can help you to develop these plans and to set them in motion.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Just as our IQ indicates our capacity to understand things, our EQ gives an idea of how we will handle the everyday stress and emotions related to our jobs. Australian Corporate Challenge can help your staff enhance their emotional intelligence resulting in a more effective and well-rounded working relationship with those around them.
WELLNESS & BALANCE
Your staff are your biggest asset. If they’re stressed, unfocused and overworked the productivity of your organisation will suffer. It’s essential to ensure that your team has all the tools available to help them make positive and healthy life choices. Australian Corporate Challenge can help identify key problem areas and offer solutions that will fit your culture.

- Mentoring & Coaching the Way of the Future for Successful Organisations
Australian Corporate Challenge (ACC), under the leadership of CEO Dr Garry Tester, has seen an exponential rise from organisations seeking Mentoring and Coaching programs for their identified leaders and managers.
ACC has delivered many successful mentoring programs, both in Australian and Internationally including: Downer Defence, Oz Minerals, BP, United Nations, Singapore Airlines, Audi, British Telecom and Accor.
Two stand out mentoring programs, delivered by Garry Tester, included Hannah Crossley (EMOS base Manager for Downer Defence, at Amberely Queensland) and Jared Morkel (former Townsville Base Manager and now Area Operators Manager, with Downer Defence Operations).
Hannah Crossley Downer Defence Over a two-year period, these two leaders built exemplar skills around authenticity, personal power, warmth, drive, persuasiveness, and most importantly their Emotional Intelligence (EI), to ensure they took their respective teams on this new journey together.
Both mentees delivered exceptional growth in their respective bases and more importantly the staff they managed and led have also loved the journey equally.
This has resulted in both Hannah and Jared, as former ADF personnel, to be finalists in both Female and Male Veteran Employee’s of the year in Private enterprise, in 2023.
Jared Morkel Downer Defence Hannah and Jared have been the
standout mentees over the past 10 years with ACC, as they worked through ‘world
leading’ exercises from Dr Garry Tester, while maintaining their daily work
outputs. Their success came through regular Teams meetings, a committed plan,
dealing with conflict respectively, mindfulness, wellness and having a mentor
that would never judge, but provide sage advice, from a toolbox of skills built over 20
years.As President John Kennedy once described his commitment to space exploration with a story about Irish writer Frank O’Connor, where O’Connor and his friend would commit themselves to getting over a wall, that seemed too high by first throwing their caps firmly on the other side of the wall. Both Hannah Crossley and Jared Morkel both have their caps firmly on the other side of their walls.
