Chrissy has enjoyed a long and successful career making a demonstrable difference to a variety of businesses. Working in both profit and not for profit sectors, she has extensive experience in the corporate, retail, hospitality, tourism and real estate industries; and the community sector.
During her 20 years working for the iconic The Body Shop, Chrissy was chosen to set up and run the NSW Bizness Babes Program. This exciting move saw her adapt her proven retail business growth strategies to the world of small business, teaching scores of disadvantaged women to set up and run their own successful business – a truly life-changing initiative. Next stop saw Chrissy seize the opportunity to take her business development skills to the social enterprise sector, leading Social Enterprises Sydney as an inspirational Program Manager.
Chrissy credits her very considerable success to her innate ability to transform a business from the inside out. From team culture and satisfaction; to efficient, supportive systems; and the delivery of exceptional customer service, she’s able to bring about lasting change by ‘living the business’ herself, quickly discovering where golden opportunities lie to take enterprises forward.
Her passion for sharing the keys to business success also led Chrissy to establishing her own small business, running highly focused monthly mentoring meetings as well coaching a clutch of private clients.
When not at work, Chrissy is also an unashamed, self-confessed helluo liborum. A day without reading simply doesn’t exist in Chrissy’s world.
Today, Chrissy is excited to be working not only to grow the success of Proof Communications, but also the many companies we service.
After a long career in customer service management, Glynis altered course to begin work with Proof Communications in 2013.
She is one of those people for whom typos, grammar mistakes and style inconsistencies simply leap off the page. This skill, combined with her meticulous attention to detail, is what makes Glynis an exceptionally thorough copywriter, copy editor and proofreader.
Glynis’ first step in the world of work was selling life insurance by cold calling. From this unlikely beginning, Glynis spent many years working for AMP; her last role as the presenter of Financial Services for Women seminars.
A move to the UK gave Glynis the chance to establish her own training consultancy. After a number of years running her own business, she headed home to Australia. For the next eight years Glynis served as the National Customer Service Manager for a privately owned promotional apparel company in Brisbane. Throughout this time, Glynis applied her eye for detail to her employer’s corporate communications.
With her enthusiasm, care and commitment, Glynis brings our clients her ability to greatly improve the quality and readability of their documents, making them the best they can be.
