Case Study – Toorak College

Toorak College is an Independent Day and Boarding School for Girls Years 7 to 12 and Co-educational Pre School to Year 6. Toorak College is committed to providing a supportive and stimulating environment in which all students are able to fully develop their personal, social and academic potential. Since 2008, Christopher has been delighted to address the students in “Inspirational and Passionate High Performance” workshops to help the students to reach and maintain the best results for their school studies, and in life.

The high performance workshop provided by Christopher Shen has greatly assisted Year 10 students in setting effective goals in order to fulfil their true VCE potential.

Case Study – Monash University

The Schools Access Monash (SAM) program at Monash University provides a range of activities for a select number of schools to increase students’ awareness of universities and courses available and to help students reach their academic potential. This program targets schools with significant numbers of students from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds and low rates of progression to tertiary study.

As a Monash Graduate, Christopher Shen is delighted to contribute to the SAM program since 2007. He delivers interactive, fun, and activity based presentations on the topic: "Inspirational and Passionate High Performance." He shares his principles, life lessons and tips for the students to reach and maintain the best results for their school studies, and in life.

Monash expects that Christopher’s involvement in the SAM program will assist to change the culture in the ten participating schools and provide motivation and encouragement to the students to help them realise their full potential.

Case Study - Industrial Relations Victoria

Industrial Relations Victoria (IRV), a division of the State Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development, had recently added a large group of programs and teams from another department to its portfolio.  IRV management wanted to build an inclusive and positive culture around the new structure as quickly as possible by engaging everyone in strategic conversations about the new organisation.

Christopher Shen Consulting was able to facilitate by assisting in the development of a Team Engagement and Business Planning Day.  Key goals for the day included identifying new opportunities for and synergies for the expanded IRV, the mission of key leadership groups in the division and the type of culture that would help the groups achieve their goals.

Case Study - World Vision Australia

World Vision is Australia’s largest overseas aid and humanitarian organisation. As well as providing relief in emergency situations, World Vision works on long-term development projects with local communities to address the causes of poverty and help them become self-sufficient.

Supported by World Vision, the Vision Generation (VGen) is a national movement of young Australians whose mission is to inspire, educate and empower young people in the fight against global poverty and injustice. It is run by young people for young people.

Christopher Shen Consulting was engaged by World Vision Australia to provide an expert leadership development program to develop the leadership capability and expertise of VGen Executive members.

VGen Executive members examined and developed their understanding of leading, managing and developing people, as well as enjoying an engaging, fun and interactive experience.

Christopher Shen was delighted to partner with the committed and passionate leaders of VGen, and World Vision Australia.

Case Study - Sport Education Victoria

Sport Education Victoria supports Victorian State Sporting Associations and Victorian based National Sporting Organisations in the development and delivery of quality coaching, official and administrator education.  Sport Education Victoria achieves this by providing assistance to sporting organisations in developing and implementing short and long term education program strategies, in line with national policies.

For Sport Education Victoria, Christopher Shen Consulting was engaged to create the SportScope Profiler - an innovative tool to increase volunteerism in officiating, coaching, and administration of grass roots sport. Christopher Shen Consulting developed and substantiated an instrument that identifies the roles to which volunteers are most likely suited.  Specifically, this instrument explores the underlying motives, preferences, and inclinations of respondents - and indeed uncovers characteristics that individuals do not even recognise in themselves but nevertheless affects their enjoyment and motivation in various roles. 

After respondents complete this instrument they receive a report that specifies whether they are suited to a role as a referee, official, or coach.  This report also stipulates some activities or behaviours these respondents could undertake to enhance their motivation and performance in recreational, vocational, and social settings.

Sport Education Victoria is confident that the SportScope Profiler will enhance and increase the participation of volunteers in Victorian sport.
