Giovanna provided our business with mentorship services, to help the team build confidence in stakeholder management and persuasive presenting skills. She approached it with her astute and unique blend of expertise, experience and empathy. And with great results; the team members have grown their skills and confidence significantly under Giovanna's mentorship. As problem solvers and opportunity creators who have a unique ability to grow individual and team capability, I highly recommend Giovanna and the clever team at Sparrowly Group.

As a fast-growing hospitality company, we needed a strategic and hands-on partner to support our workforce transition. Sparrowly Group delivered exactly that. Their comprehensive workforce audit and strategic planning for our first 12 months of transition were invaluable, including in-depth staff interviews, skills and systems assessments, and tailored recommendations aligned with our projected growth. They didn’t just provide a plan, they executed it developing job descriptions, leading the hiring process, and ensuring we secured the right talent. Their ability to identify and match top talent to our business needs is exceptional. Sparrowly Group has been a trusted partner in building a strong foundation for our team’s future success.
Brooke Hill, Wonderthink
As a well established, multigenerational business in agriculture and manufacturing, we recognised the need for a strong partner to guide the development of our Strategic Plan, particularly in shaping a workforce and training strategy that would support a seamless transition for our next phase of growth. Giovanna took a people-first approach from the outset, ensuring our team’s voices were truly heard and that their insights directly informed our strategic direction. Her approach is anything but formulaic. It’s responsive, people-centred, and deeply strategic. Giovanna’s energy is contagious, her advice considered and became part of the team we wanted to keep permanently.
