HLB Mann Judd
"I was first introduced to coup's brilliance at a session they facilitated during a conference I was attending. I was extremely impressed with their skill and insight. When we began planning our own national conference, I knew we had to have coup along to do what they do. Their unique method of blending theatrical knowledge and skills with professional development training, to deliver insightful messages of effective communication, is extremely powerful. It engages the audience and stimulates thought. They took the time to really understand our business culture and deliver a sensational session that was targeted specifically to our audience."

Westpac
“coup has been engaged by Westpac to deliver corporate theatre at major leadership events in all states of Australia and in New Zealand and to provide leadership training to all areas of the business. The reason we keep engaging them is because they are firstly unrelenting in seeking to understand our needs – both the business case and the cultural dynamics; secondly, they work to fulfill our needs with enthusiasm and a clear commitment to achieving excellent outcomes.”

Their work has been consistently well received across all levels of our leadership group because it is engaging, energising and very much aligned to our values journey.

PricewaterhouseCoopers
"coup delivered the final session of the our conference and certainly represented the crescendo. Their session was highly entertaining and engaged the audience. More importantly they delivered some powerful messages grounded in robust thinking and research, all of which culminated in a compelling close. I have also used Coup internally and in similar vein they delivered sessions tailored to the specific needs of our teams, engaged them in the learning and ensured the learnings were practical and able to be applied readily. They are leaders in their field."

Hewitt Associates
"We partnered with coup to facilitate the Hewitt Asia Pacific Leadership summit in December 2007. They designed a number of leadership interventions which were creative, impactful and intellectually challenging for our audience of 80 senior leaders.
Our experience in working with coup was extremely positive - they took time to understand our leadership community and developed activities which were targeted to the audience. We found Coup to be a professional, collaborative and fun team of people to work with. coup went above and beyond in their performance and were particularly client focused over the 3 day summit. Their contribution had a great impact on our leaders and they successfully facilitated creative interventions which created the catalyst for personal and group change."

Freehills
"We would like to express our sincere thanks for your work leading up to and during our National Conference in Byron Bay 14-16 March 2008.
The sessions you led and activities that followed were very well received by the group and in our feedback evaluation scored high approval ratings.
The level of participation by everyone during the filming exercise demonstrated how engaged they were in the sessions and seeing themselves on the screen the following evening was one of the highlights of the weekend."

Human Resources Manager - ER
Alcatel-Lucent
"People know when a leader enters a room, this person typically has gravitas, a sense of purpose and direction. They engage and move through a crowd with ease, engaging with people on a personal level. David and his team from Coup provide an opportunity for people to understand their own leadership style, how to project yourself and how others can perceive you. A great reflective experience mixed with theory from the dramatic arts to help us become better leaders and connect with others. Certainly worthwhile and highly recommended."

Dyno Nobel Australia
"This was one of the most relevant and enjoyable course's I've attended. They didn't tell me - they taught me!"
Dyno Nobel Manager
"I found the sessions challenging in that they weren't like other training courses, as one is confronted with exaggerated, humourous but compelling glimpses of how we can be perceived, as managers..... Worth the effort to go!"
