About

McKenna Bespoke Development & Facilitation (McKenna BDF) is a boutique development business that provides clients with highly customised career development and transition coaching, executive coaching, professional support, mentoring and facilitation services. We also make introductions and connections, and offer clients alternative ways of doing and seeing things. We help our clients to see themselves through different lenses, and challenge them to look not just at how things are, but also how they might be.

McKenna BDF is different.

Our approach to career and development coaching, executive coaching, professional support and facilitation services is unique and serves to differentiate us in an increasingly crowded market. We do not deliver standard sessional coaching, generic programs or “off the shelf” solutions. Rather, we partner with clients to tailor an approach that’s informed by their unique circumstances and aims to achieve their particular goals and aspirations. Our clients are at the centre of everything we do.

We are also different because we do not operate to a pre-determined formula. Instead, we ask questions and challenge assumptions – at an organisational and personal level – but always in the context of a relationship of trust and confidentiality. Established by Nicole McKenna following a distinguished and varied career as a commercial lawyer, human resources director and freelance organisational development consultant in Australia, the United States and China, McKenna BDF is a unique player in the market.

We provide executive coaching, mentoring and facilitation services, but we also make introductions and connections that we think will be useful. Through personal engagement and deeper analysis we offer clients alternative ways of doing and seeing things. In these ways, we help our clients to see themselves through different lenses, and challenge them to look not just at how things are, but also how they might be.
