The workshop is a unique experience. It challenges you, and…you actually see the results happening as you go along.

Nina Mesta Head of Business Services MLC & NAB Wealth

This is a really well-structured course that brings the group together and really gets the best out of people. James is highly skilled at what he does. He’s very sensitive but also really persistent at drawing people out and getting the best out of them.

Mandi Katz Executive Manager Group Governance NAB

I think the workshop’s been fantastic. I learnt a lot about myself in terms of strengths that I can build on and certainly in terms of development areas. James did a great job of picking up very quickly the things that I can improve. His feedback’s been very valuable, very honest, and it’s given me a lot to think about…The skills I learn here will be very transferable and relevant to the workplace.

Kelly Dickson Manager Workforce Capability, Wholesale Banking NAB

It was really good to see both myself and the rest of the team really develop. Even just over 2 days you could see such a huge difference in people’s confidence and their style… I thought James was excellent – very entertaining…great experience, excellent energy and I couldn’t think of anyone better to take the course.

Kylie Martin Operations Manager – Loss Mitigation NAB

Thanks to the education provided to the MLA Marketing team by REDgum’s James Freemantle we were able to overcome a rigorous stakeholder review of marketing programs which resulted in overwhelming endorsement of our five year strategic plan. What was lacking in our department was not the strategy or the plans but how to effectively present these plans to industry. James took us through four intensive workshops which resulted in a mediocre group of presenters being transformed into a team any manager would be proud of. – “Mission accomplished”.

Glen Feist General Manager Marketing Meat & Livestock Australia

What an experience; working with REDgum Communications in REDgum country. James has a unique dedication to achieving the best possible results in his work. James bought the best out of all those involved. His patience and ability to build immediate rapport resulted in a highly professional result produced precisely to brief. I would happily work with James and the REDgum Communications team again in the future.

James identified my room for improvement areas in the first hour we worked together and from there has given me the tools, confidence and self belief to perform in the next phase of my life.

James has a natural ability to empower people – driving them to reach and succeed in both their professional and personal goals. Over the last few months, James has helped me to become more confident and assertive. As a result of working with James, I have been able to express my opinions with confidence and earn respect from my peers by standing up for what I believe in.

Karen James Account Manager Essendon Football Club

When placed in front of a television camera even the most confident people have a certain amount of uneasiness.As a producer with a history of presenting, James Freemantle has the unique ability of knowing what it’s like to be in your shoes. With this knowledge he recognises that talent needs to be nurtured and understood not pressured and berated if things don’t go exactly to plan.

James gets to know your personality and gives you the confidence to be who you are not what you ‘think’ you should be. James has a calming energy and down to earth nature which makes everyone on set feel at ease.

James Freemantle was series producer on my Channel 9 TV series Wilde About Golf.

He wrote my scripts, directed my work and that of everyone else involved, and ensured that what went to air was accurate, entertaining and informative.

The breadth of experience he brought to that project was most valuable as he understands not only production techniques but also those of presentation.

As a direct result of our creative affiliation, James remains a valued friend and consultant in many varied aspects of my life.
