RESULTS
Working with leaders from across a diverse range of sectors to realise their career ambitions and transform businesses, here’s just a taste of what we’ve achieved together.
“Silent Partner has been our trusted talent scout in the recruitment of two executive positions. Rebekah provided great clarity and invaluable perspective in delivering two highly successful outcomes. She is a true listener, a skilled communicator and ensures that expectations are not only managed, but exceeded.”
ANDREW MARKS
FOUNDER
Melbourne Gin Company
“Working with Rebekah is an absolute joy. She cuts through noise to arrive at cleverly thought out ideas that are strategic and commercial. I would highly recommend her as a consultant to any business that needs to think outside what they already know.”
KATE EVERITT
DIRECTOR & CO-FOUNDER
The Fix
“When it comes to finding your own path and deciding how to best walk it, there are too many options. We’re drowning in advice, guides, how-tos, tips, tactics and strategy. Rebekah clears it all to one side and brings a laser focus to helping you articulate your unique needs, and create solutions that have real actionable benefits.
Thanks to the long-term positive changes she’s sparked in my own career, Rebekah has turned me from coaching sceptic to flag-waving true believer. You could devote a year to reading self help books, or you could book a session with Bek, cut the fluff, and find your real value.”
TIM FISHER
HEAD OF COMMUNICATIONS
Energy Efficiency Council
“The Seafood Directions Conference took a whole new direction thanks to the foundation work carried out by Silent Partner. I highly recommend Silent Partner for any organisation wanting to help their team achieve a crystal clear vision for the future, a brand to embody it and the motivation to drive it.”
JOHNATHAN DAVEY
“When you start a business on the kitchen table it’s hard to visualise the road to success. You know where you want to go, but negotiating the unforeseen twists and turns takes skill and vision. When Rebekah Malherbe steps in, she creates a calm space, shines a light into the corners, shows you how to take breath. Under her guidance you will gain the focus, authenticity and energy to take your brand beyond expectations.”
LYN BROWN
FOUNDER & CO-DIRECTOR
Goodie Food & Events
“Rebekah has an alarming ability to see through your bullshit and figure you out within one conversation. She is incredibly smart, empathetic, interested in everyone and everything. She makes you feel good about yourself and like you can do anything you dream of. She is super well-connected, carries a world of knowledge in her head, and is very funny too. She has given me tools to organise my chaotic and overwhelmed life, helped me plan my new business model from a baby idea, and injected a world of self belief and inspiration. Hand on heart, I think she is a life changer.”
JACINDA JONES
PRINCIPAL INTERIOR DESIGNER
Bayley Ward Architects
“Rebekah brought a tremendous level of drive, deep knowledge and strategic rigour to her work with Cutler & Co. and Marion. With a clear vision for the long-term success of our restaurants, she designed and launched a blueprint for future growth that is still generating leads and positive results today.”
CHRIS HANDEL
GENERAL MANAGER
Trader House
“Rebekah has helped me successfully negotiate the course of my career over the past five years, working with me on the most critical moves I've made to date. It can be an extremely daunting and revealing quest to take on any manner of professional career help, especially within the hospitality sector where it is not the norm, however to have someone like Rebekah in your corner when you are taking a giant leap of faith in yourself is an invaluable investment.”
JACQ TURNER
HEAD SOMMELIER
Neil Perry Restaurants
“Our business had a classic conundrum — ‘too much time in it, not enough time on it’. We had a list of things we wanted to achieve, however we were exhausted and rudderless. Bek helped us develop a comprehensive, tailored strategy - not just for the business but for our lives outside of it. We covered everything from financial to creative goals and managed to set ourselves on a clear path to getting what we wanted. She used her considerable expertise to facilitate hard conversations and was able to guide us through the sometimes overwhelming world of owning your own business. Bek is professional, but with a light and generous heart - I couldn't recommend her highly enough.”
SARAH BOOTH
OWNER & OPERATOR
Tiggy Cafe
“Rebekah is a force of nature. If you want innovation, challenging concepts and customer orientated change, pick up the phone and enjoy the ride.”
BOB KNOWLES
CHAMBER PRESIDENT
Apollo Bay Chamber of Commerce
“Rebekah brought invaluable insight, creativity and pragmatism to my business needs, and coached intuitively to delivery the best outcome for me. She is a true delight to work with, and her style is empowering, inspiring and energising. Thank you again, Bek!”
MIRANDA CAMPBELL
CO-FOUNDER & DIR. PEOPLE & CULTURE
Belles Hot Chicken
“First and foremost, Rebekah is a communicator par excellence - combine that with innate EQ and highly developed coaching skills, and you have a wonderful resource and sounding board to help navigate the sometimes complex and challenging waters of business leadership.
Rebekah acts as a trusted navigational device. Her intelligence, intuition and sense of humour enable you to think big, seize opportunities and minimise obstacles - with confidence and clarity.”
EMMA DUNCAN
G.M. STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS
Housing Choices Australia
“Three years into my business I found myself stuck in a rut and needing guidance and advice on how to make my business work better for me. Rebekah worked on my business positioning and played a big part in helping me find my business "why". As a result, one year on, my business has experienced massive growth and become far more successful than I could ever have imagined.”
CAT BROWN
OWNER
Simplify Me
“Emerging from the early years of mothering, sessions with Bek helped me renew my sense of purpose and professional confidence. She gave me access to a deep dive into my thinking, my values, my barriers and my aspirations. Working with Bek helped clear away any external value systems and discover authentic aspiration.
An engine of clarity and forward momentum, Bek is whip smart, fun and walks the walk in every way.”
MEREDITH PENMAN
WRITER, EDUCATOR & ACTOR
“Bek is an exceptional coach - she is honestly brilliant at what she does.
It's hard to put into words what she has enabled me to access in myself through our career coaching sessions, but I can sum it up by saying I am seeing the world differently, and I am feeling more open and alive to possibility. I am standing taller, and everything seems more expansive.
With Bek's support I have begun untangling myself from things in my life that were holding me back, and I am stepping up into a version of myself that always there, but that I wasn't accessing.
I'd been feeling stuck in my career and creativity space for a long time - now I can't wait to explore the next chapters that are emerging. Thank you Bek, you have a special gift that I hope many more people can tap into with you.”
KATE FENNESSY
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR COMMUNICATIONS
RMIT University
“I left a significant job at Google to launch my own business 5 years ago, and with the enormous peaks and troughs you face when tackling such a mission, I needed a lifeline.
Bek’s Game Plan has given me exactly that. I now have crystal clear understanding of my values, strengths and weakness, and a plan to address any areas of concern. I can say with absolute confidence that the next 12 months are going to be my best yet. Bring it on!”
CHRISTOPHER MULCAHY
CEO / FOUNDER
Enablr
“Bek’s company is called Silent Partner, but unlike a silent partner who you usually keep secret, I tell everyone how amazing she is. I worked with Bek at a time when I needed to do some major redefining and came away with a very deep sense that “I’ve got this!”. Thank you Bek.”
ALEX WHITE
FILM PRODUCER
White Falk Films
“Coaching can be a very vulnerable experience and you need to find the right person to work with. Bek is that person. During our time together, I never felt embarrassed or uncomfortable. It was the perfect space for me to grow and learn more about myself. I would highly recommend Bek.”
