Right from moment one she was instantly recognizable as a true original, and a vital force - very strong, soft, and buzzing with constant creativity and good ideas. She has an amazing ability to cut through layers of rubbish, be it corporate, press, or personal. Nobody can get a room full of people thinking outside the box like her."

Megan brings together creative thinking, excellent communication, an innate ability to analyze and interoperate any context or information thrown her way, and succinct practical strategy. Over the years she has consistently helped me tailor successful business strategies around my goals, and to clarify what I personally want from my work and life. Megan’s expertise, and the personal investment she has always brought into the process with me, has consistently energized me and inspired my confidence and trust. I recommend her highly and without reservation.

"In the depths of the darkness of today's often nonsensical business world Megan Haas's uniqueness prevails. Ms. Haas understands how to incorporate social values into that world. I have witnessed her incredible determination and fortitude. Her ability to unravel the very core of a person and/or corporation and reconstruct it from the double helix into an energised being is her forte. As a person who I admire, and whose life path I have been inspired by, it is an honour to recommend her."

The work Megan and I did together has continued to inform me and led to the creation of my life's work in education. Megan pushes not only herself but the people around her, to be their best and create a real and purposeful vision of the future."
