Testimonials for Sharon Warburton

I had the pleasure of hearing Sharon speak at an event recently. The focus of her address was development and mentoring amongst women managers and executives. Sharon is a generous and engaging speaker who willingly shared her own experiences and strategies to assist women in forming their personal strategies for advancing in business. Sharon’s warm and humorous style captured the audience attention and encouraged many questions which Sharon answered openly and sincerely. The feedback we received from the audience was outstanding and we look forward to having Sharon address our staff, students and Alumni at future events.

Sharon was meticulously prepared for the presentation but did not present as rehearsed. Her experiences came across as candid and authentic, which made for a very engaging presentation. Sharon's presentation was thought provoking as well as being highly entertaining. Sharon was very happy to take the questions that her presentation generated and the content and style of the presentation generated discussion and encouraged others to share their own experiences. Sharon's commitment to progressing female involvement in industries such as construction and mining is inspirational and her energy is remarkable! The feedback we received was outstanding. For example, a senior female corporate counsel commented: Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The Momentum event was the best yet. Sharon is truly remarkable. Her candour is incredibly refreshing and her work is truly inspiring.

Sharon brought a wealth of experience from her career in the mining and construction industries, both in Australia and in the Middle East; as well as her unique insight into time management, work-life balance, and the potential to give back to the community. Sharon’s experiences, knowledge and attitude in both the business world, and in her personal life, leave those who have witnessed her presentation inspired to do more to ensure a balance between professional and personal, and to look at ways in which they are able to make a difference to others.
