“I recently had the pleasure of hearing Alysha speak about her research and coaching business, and I must say I was blown away by her speaking. Alysha was composed, fluent, thoughtful and very well practiced. She told a story, took you on a journey and kept you engaged with every word. Alysha has some of the most finely tuned verbal skills I have heard in recent years. Alysha is a brilliant public speaker, presenter and facilitator”.
– Olivia Labattaglia, Alumni Relations, AUT

“Alysha Bentley, Mindset Coach and Mentor, delivered an incredibly important message to Takapuna Grammar’s Year 13’s, beginning with the question: what does success mean to you? A question which, to a group of people who are trying to figure out what they want from life, was near impossible to answer. She provided an essential examination of what success really means and how to change your mindset from one of constantly falling short, to one of constant growth. The ideas presented to us would most certainly help us in our transition from school into the real world, which now seems a lot less daunting”.
– Year 13 Student Review, Takapuna Grammar School, Auckland

“I have had the exceptional pleasure of listening to one of Alysha Bentley’s speeches. I can wholeheartedly say she is not only knowledgeable in her field of ‘women’s empowerment’, but she can also charismatically put forth a great speech that holds audiences captive through her story telling. She has studied extensively in this field and can entwine theory and statistics that is highly compelling, logical, easy to take in and is a pleasure to listen to. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a positive and inspiring speaker or coaching mentor” 
– Edyta Palley, Brand Manager, Barfoot & Thompson

 
INDIVIDUAL / GROUP COACHING
Life | Leadership

“I went into my first life coaching session with Alysha with an open mind, not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised that we could cover so much ground in the first meeting. Already I feel I’ve gained clarity, direction, and most importantly the confidence to progress with my goals. I felt comfortable speaking openly to Alysha as she is calm, professional and has a sense of humour. She was quickly able to identify my strengths and weaknesses and gave me some take-home action points. We worked mostly on my career and study goals, but I hope to seek Alysha’s insight into how I can improve in other areas of my life. Whatever your challenge, Alysha can help you. I recommend Alysha to anyone who is ready to take the next step.”
– Kristie Elphick, Research Administrator

“In addition to being very professional, Alysha is wise, positive and warm! She has helped me to look at myself and my values holistically and focus on my strengths and areas of interest towards identifying my next career step. It has been hugely beneficial having Alysha guide me in organising my thoughts. She provides good insights and at the end of a session, take-away action points that are concrete steps towards my goal. Thanks Alysha!”
– Hui Ling Tan, Postgraduate Coordinator

“I’d never had a coach before and didn’t really know what to expect, but after meeting Alysha and hearing about her background, experience and whole ethos around coaching and mentoring I knew she would be the right person to help me focus on some clear goals and strategies to benefit my career and professional development. Alysha is calm and made me feel comfortable to reflect openly, she listens, asks the right questions to get me really thinking about what I want, and helps me direct my own thinking towards what I can do to be successful and achieve my goals. She has really helped me build my confidence in my own abilities, particularly around leadership and feeling capable to hit the ground running in a new (and scary) role! Thanks so much Aly!!”
– Monica Diaz, HR Business Partner
