Liz Paine

Liz Paine is a training and organisational development specialist with extensive experience providing training solutions and consultancy services.

Although her experience in business management is vast and varied, Liz particularly loves her roles as workshop facilitator and curriculum developer.

Liz is also a sought after workshop presenter and says she gets the biggest buzz from tapping into the potential of others and helping her clients develop clear action plans and opportunities to grow their career or businesses.

Liz began her career as a drama teacher and applies this creative background to her approach to training so her workshops are always full of interesting activities. Her enthusiasm for participatory style workshops plus her ability to ensure there are always successful outcomes for all participants make her a sought after management consultant, leadership coach and training facilitator.

Liz is equally at home working with young people beginning their career as she is with senior executive staff. Liz offers an extensive and diverse range of professional development programs focusing primarily around interpersonal communication, leadership, customer service and business communication. Course outlines for many of these programs can be found on this website.

Today Liz’s clients include industry associations, both large and small private enterprise, government departments, Industry Training Advisory Boards and private training providers. Liz has developed and delivered training programs for organisations such as The Marina Industries Association of NSW, The NSW Boating Industry Association, Marine Queensland, National Parks & Wildlife, Toyota Motor Corporation, The National Safety Council of Australia, Granville Principals Association, various schools, the TAFE Managers Association, TAFE and international training colleges… to name only a few.
