Rebecca is perfectly placed to speak at your next Women in Leadership event! With 13 years’ experience, coaching 100s of corporate women exclusively to build their profiles and land dream promotions, Rebecca has a wealth of knowledge about the specific challenges corporate women face getting ahead in their careers.
Women encounter a series of unique challenges in the corporate environment and are often overlooked, or miss out, on career opportunities as a consequence.
Organisations sometimes unknowingly fail to set women up for success, with…
A lack of senior female role models…
Under-developed career-sponsorship programmes…
Unconscious bias and affinity bias…
All play their part in excluding women from the conversation or from applying for more senior roles and advancing their careers.
Consequently, many women have become conditioned to think they are less valuable, less capable and less deserving of careers that truly ignite them. This resultant self-doubt also plays a role in holding many women back.
Hi, I’m Rebecca Allen and I have been working with professional women for the last 13 years…
For clients from companies including E&Y, Deloitte, ANZ, Origin Energy and Coca-Cola Amatil.
Women are a severely under-utilised resource and I work with my clients, with great honesty and care, to help them realise their true potential.
I would love to talk with you about your ambitions for your Women in Leadership program, to see how we might add some fresh and practical value to your organisation and to your female talent.
“Rebecca went beyond our expectations in terms of the time, thought and effort she took to deliver presentations specifically based on our unique needs. She came extremely prepared – everything was done well in advance of deadlines and with minimal fuss. It was all so easy! She provided two seminars to circa 100 NESB tertiary students at the University.
Despite this being a relatively challenging audience, Rebecca was able to present some very advanced and complicated ideas with great clarity.
Rebecca has excellent first-hand and theoretical knowledge of some very abstract and difficult concepts e.g. interpersonal relationships; communication skills and even ecross-cultural understanding. She is a great “teacher” of these concepts and explains them in simple practical language. Lastly, she has a warm and engaging character that puts you at ease and inspires you to make the changes necessary to achieve your goals. Rebecca is all that you want in a coach!”
Lucinda Crossley Meates – Career Education Officer, University of Sydney
“I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your presentation. I have attended a fair few similar sessions over the years and I can truly say that I have not enjoyed one so much and more importantly, taken away some really good messages. I am sure others there will have done the same.”
Imelda Dodds – Acting CEO NSW Trustee and Guardian, Department of Justice
“I so appreciated the integrity, rigor and warmth Rebecca brought to our sessions. As a coach myself, I know how valuable having someone in your corner is when stepping up to a new and lofty height in one’s career or life. And I really did experience having Rebecca in my corner. She is remarkably astute and skilled in gently unravelling the vulnerable underbelly stuck pieces to enable real growth. Thank you Rebecca.”
Sarah Churchward-Norton
“Rebecca has helped me focus on my career progression by looking at the softer attributes e.g. politics, engaging difficult people and getting sponsorship.”
Brigid Robson, Director ANZ Bank, Relationship-Infrastructure Energy & Utilities
“As General Manager of “Roots and Shoots” and NYLC (National Youth Leadership Council) Australia, I would like thank Rebecca for her time, professionalism and delivery of such a high level of training and insight into topics that are very relevant in shaping the careers and personal confidence of our team. Personally, I know I have adopted many of your key points and they have helped me assess my goals and conduct in my work and personal life. Thanks once again for providing such a brilliant opportunity to the Jane Goodall Institute Australia.”
Abbie Mitchell
General Manager, National Youth Leadership Council Australia, Jane Goodall Institute
“We were looking for a speaker to present on Conflict Resolution to around 100 employees. Rebecca considered our specifications and put together a very thoughtful, informative presentation entitled ‘Having Difficult Conversations: Managing Conflict Effectively’.
Rebecca was fantastic, very engaging and informative. The session was interesting and interactive and had the right mix of science and fun. Our staff took away a great deal that they could use in their everyday lives, at work and home. I would highly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a speaker or facilitator on coaching and relationships in work or home life. The attendees scored Rebecca’s presentation 45% ‘excellent’ and 52% ‘very good’. Rebecca is extremely capable and professional.”
Lyndal Fisher – Pricewaterhouse Coopers
“Rebecca Allen recently facilitated a thought provoking ‘Career Opportunities’ workshop for a cross-section of our best talent and I am glad to say, the training was spot on.
In the days that followed the training, we had some very pleasing results: several participants had already begun to have conversations with their managers – and/or with me – about what opportunities they wanted next from their careers. This pro-activity is exactly what we were keen to encourage.
The content was on brief and pitched well to our cross section of staff.
Rebecca’s delivery was professional and very positively framed to enable participants to appreciate their capacity to choose career pathways and to accept different choices at different points in their career journeys.
In conclusion, I would recommend Rebecca as a talented training professional and a credible career specialist.”
Tracey Lambert, Human Resources Manager, Australian Human Rights Commission

“It’s always a pleasure seeing Rebecca. She recently ran a training for a group of our high potentials and the clarity they have gained has given them a great kick start to their career planning. Rebecca’s delivery was superb and was effective in many ways; it was very positive and engaging and had all the participants thinking about how important their values are and how their behaviours influence key stakeholders’ perceptions of them every day.
Having spoken to most participants now, the feedback has been very consistent and they all found the session extremely relevant and helpful. Comments from the evaluation forms included:”
– “Best course I have done at CCA – it was fantastic!”
– “I gained a lot from this program and found it extremely helpful to apply to real life. Rebecca was engaging, friendly, helpful and was an excellent facilitator.”
– “Excellent use of real examples.”
– “Great content knowledge. Fresh delivery methods by varying groups and exercises.”
– “Highlights included group discussions and practical applications of content”
“I would highly recommend Rebecca Allen, Illuminate Personal Growth to leaders looking to improve their communication skills and credibility of employees as they engage with both colleagues and clients alike. Rebecca helped me dig much deeper to understand the implications these issues were having on my ‘brand’. It became clear that my staff were not always experiencing the ‘brand’ that I wanted them to. I left each session with practical strategies to address this issue and as a result my staff now feel better engaged and motivated. I’ve found practical solutions that I have been able to apply straight away.”
