Speaker

The seminar delivered by Dr Kate Dempsey was well-organised, clearly and logically developed, and professionally presented from start to finish. Most importantly, the content and style of delivery was of a consistently high standard, with the result that it stimulated valuable discussion and insights among the students. All in all, it demonstrated Kate’s sound grasp of the pedagogical principles and practices appropriate for a higher education learning environment.

Damon Anderson, Lecturer, Education Faculty, Monash University

I wanted to comment and give you some recognition on how well I think you have been supporting students on line. I think that you come across as positive, interested and supportive of students. I also note that you try to challenge and stimulate thinking although we students seem to be an unresponsive lot at times.

Maryanne M, Masters Student (online), Monash University

I want to say thank you again for the learning experience I had through this subject. I truly enjoyed your teaching. The quality of your assignment feedback is the best I’ve had at Swinburne. I benefited from your high standard marking by improving on the issues identified in your feedback. After all learning is more important than a good mark without any substance. Swinburne needs more lecturers like you.

Having worked with Kate Dempsey on a number of projects since 1989, I am pleased to recommend her as a consultant who is highly ethical, provides critical input to projects she is involved in and who has been consistent in her ability to provide high quality work on time, every time.

Noelene Duff, CEO City of Whitehorse

We have found Kate to be a very practical, outcomes driven person professionally. Kate guides us, but works along side us, by creating working groups for each project we embark on and checking each step or each draft with the whole membership at key points in its development.

Kerry McKusky, Chairperson Victorian TAFE International Inc.

Kate knows and understands how associations should operate. She is extremely knowledgeable of the external requirements of a formal association and works efficiently to ensure it is governed correctly. She is able to identify needs and gaps in knowledge and works hard to transfer her knowledge back to association members. I know she mentors younger or less experienced staff in the work she does.

Danielle Hartridge, (former) President ISANA

I was privileged to have someone as knowledgeable and as experienced as Kate Dempsey for my mentor. She is an open and honest communicator. Kate was not afraid to make alternative suggestions or recommendations in a way that was not invasive.

Bronnie Walsh, Founder, Port Phillip Bicycle User Group

Kate Dempsey, who teaches into the MBA, provided amazing learning opportunities. Her teaching style and commitment to learning outcomes exceeded expectations. She demonstrated commitment, compassion and inspired us to go above and beyond, she is a remarkable educator!

Leah, MBA Student Latrobe University

Thank you Kate, your subject was my 7th subject in the MBA and for what it is worth you have been one of the most engaging and enjoyable facilitators. It makes it a hell of a lot easier. You have set a very high bar that not many (if any) facilitators can match.
