Marlene Cole

Twenty-nine jobs across 14 industries have given Marlene Cole a lot of stories, and she uses them to help your people find their own. Her career runs through retail, human resources, recruitment, the resources sector and international travel, and she has lived in remote Aboriginal communities. Sessions link personal and working stories to job satisfaction, better communication and staff who speak up for the brand. Talks include Careers with Purpose, Resume to YES-ume, Personal Branding for Career Success and Strategic Networking on LinkedIn. She has presented to an international crowd of 800, to rooms of 200-plus at convention centres in Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane, and to groups of 10 to 20 leaders. Keynotes, workshops, panels, team building and virtual sessions are all options. A headset mic works best. She flies from Adelaide, and has both a national police clearance and Working With Children clearance.
