Who We Work With:
What They Say:
Nadia Golenkova, Learning & Development Manager
"Hatch Talent have partnered with Tradelink for 3 years to support and bring to life our Leading for Performance Program, a purpose built development experience that connects our operations leaders with their unique talents and embeds a foundation of strengths based leadership.
Given the extensive impact and reach of this initiative, we could not have asked for a more energising, capable, and adaptable delivery partner in Hatch Talent, with Michelle Burman and Julie Brophy. Their high calibre specialist knowledge and experience is matched by exceptional commercial astuteness, both of which have been invaluable in understanding our operational and cultural requirements.
We could not recommend their work more highly, and are proud that our partnership together helped achieve the honour of this program being named as the Winner for the Best Leadership Development category in the 2022 Australian HR Awards.”
Blair Page,
Head of Sales Enablement
"I am delighted to provide this testimonial for Hatch Talent. PlaceMakers (a subsidiary of Fletcher Distribution) choose to partner with Hatch due to the exceptional professionalism, unwavering commitment to their customers and the consistently positive feedback we receive from our people who attend Hatch training and development programs.
Michelle and Julie have exceptional real-world experience that provides for dynamic and authentic learning. This has seen us engage Hatch for leadership development, mastering systems, personal productivity and coaching using CliftonStrengths.
Michelle and Julie’s programs continue to be our highest rated external learning programs year after year."
Rebekah Pool,
Head Of Human Resources
The Interiors Group NZ
Our experience collaborating with Michelle and Julie has been nothing short of outstanding. Having been involved in many projects with us over 7 years, they have a keen understanding of our unique needs and requirements and deliver every time, taking the time to listen to our needs, comprehend our objectives and then tailoring their approach to meet our specific goals.
Most recently, Julie and Michelle have helped us implement an on-going Leadership Development Programme for our people leaders which encompasses CliftonStrengths, 360 reviews and individual coaching sessions.
This mix of strengths and personal reflections means we now have a network of engaged leaders who regularly reflect on not only their own strengths but their teams strengths to achieve great things both personally and professionally.
Ciarán Healy,
Branch Manager
"My journey with The Interiors Group NZ has provided me the very exciting opportunity of discovering my CliftonStrengths and working with the amazing Hatch Talent Ltd team.
A focused, honest and personalised session with Jade Beaman was the most beneficial 60min coaching session of my managerial career.
Simple, open questions instilled why I want to grow and be better. For myself and those who look towards me.
Forever grateful for the opportunity to reflect, grow and develop myself. Thank you again Jade Beaman"

Our Team
Julie
Achiever | Learner | Input | Connectedness | Intellection |
Futuristic | Focus | Maximizer | Self-Assurance | Developer
I’m fascinated by the potential of individuals and teams, and dedicated to helping people bring their very best self to their career.
My approach: Talent x Habits = Results.
I bring energy and passion to my facilitation and coaching, and I love to share resources and tools that can be immediately applied to accelerate performance.
My experience in New Zealand and the UK as an Employment Relations Consultant and, later, Talent Development Specialist, has given me a deep appreciation for the correlation between employee engagement and business results.
In 2013, I became an accredited Gallup Strengths Coach and began incorporating a strengths approach to leadership development programmes and individual coaching, with outstanding results. I’ve never looked back.
I appreciate the complexity of modern life, integrating career with family and a love of outdoor adventure.
Michelle
Positivity | Woo | Input | Communication | Restorative |
Individualization | Includer | Activator | Strategic | Achiever
I’m passionate about helping people incorporate the practical, scientifically proven tools from the field of Positive Psychology to achieve more success than they thought possible – in both their professional and personal lives. I believe that every single one of us can achieve massive personal growth – we just need to be curious, and we often need a coach to help us get there.
I have over 20 years experience in HR and Learning & Development, operating at senior levels across a wide array of industries. As a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, it’s my role to help you appreciate and, most importantly, apply your talents to achieve your career and personal goals. As a highly experienced facilitator I bring an inclusive and down to earth approach that helps participants understand and connect with the material in a way that enhances learning and brings about change.

Maxmiser | Connectedness | Belief | Adaptability | Empathy |
Includer | Ideation | Relator | Developer | Communication
I have over 16 years’ experience in leadership, team development and coaching with my own teams and client businesses.
About 8 years ago I became accredited as a CliftonStrengths coach, initially to coach and develop my team more effectively at Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi. The positive impact I observed in the engagement, culture and performance of my team (and my capability as a leader) convinced me that a strengths-based approach is the best way to maximise potential.
Since then, I’ve been partnering with leadership consultancies as a coach and facilitator, providing workshops across a range of non-government organisations, government departments and business corporations. With a passion for PEOPLE, and a unique indigenous development approach, I thrive in journeying alongside other leaders to support them and their teams to succeed in complex, forever-changing environments.
My belief: When people know who they are and begin to appreciate their unique strengths, they feel more engaged in their work. This brings out their best; they become better people all-round and they go on to positively influence others at work and beyond. Everyone deserves this opportunity.
