Running multiple businesses (and a couple of new ones launching soon) it’s fair to say Justin never has a dull moment!
Outside of work, Justin has two kids that keep him busy with one playing representative basketball and the other pursuing an academic career.
His hobbies include most things technology-related (he’s a closet nerd) as well as music (he can read music and is a pretty ordinary piano player) and he’s be trying to master a Reef Tank (with his own little nemo) for over 15 years.
You’ll often find him doing a workout or playing some basketball in between recovering from various sporting injuries so much so he’s convinced there will be a new ward named after him at the local hospital!
Justin is also the co-host of the GiddyUp Podcast with world champion Paralympian, Don Elgin.

Thanks Andrew, glad you enjoyed the course!
Excellent
Very well structured training course – good balance of listening and interactive activities.
Justin is a great presenter and is clearly passionate about the topic.
All course expectations were met – would highly recommend to others.
Superb introduction to taking the leap from consultant to TL/Manager
My manager advised he wanted me to do this course to get a feel on what it would take to make the leap from a consultant to a TL. Over the two days Justin was able to give me more than enough understanding of the fundamentals that you need to know to take this leap. Very grateful to have had the opportunity and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone in a similar situation.
Excellent foundation course
Informative information and materials, providing a great foundation understanding; good pace and an engaging presenter in Justin.
Excellent Contact Centre Management Course
The course was very informative and most modules relative to our business area. The facilitator Justin, was very knowledgeable and motivating with the quize’s. I highly recommend this course for any team leaders or managers who run a call centre.
Very Informative
Great place to start if you want to understand metrics so you and your team can make the most out of their day to ensure high productivity .
Informative & Productive
Great Sessions, very informative and the content provided will be useful to ensure I am able to complete my role efficiently & even more productive!
Very knowledgeable.
Some information was more suited to an “inbound” contact centre (ours is outbound) and more customer service centric. Justin is very knowledgeable and delivered the course in an easy way to understand. Some key metric’s explained could most certainly be implemented for our business. Will definitely take some of his advice on board.
Intro to Contact Centre Management
The first session was a tad slow but it laid the groundwork for some interesting concepts in the second session.
Engaging and Informative
Justin provided us with two great sessions which gave us a insight on how to better ourselves when it comes to be more productive as well as how to ensure we are keeping ourselves and our teams accountable.
Great course for those starting or getting into call centre management
Most call centres have their own unique way of doing things which means progressing your career in one business can look very different to another. This course gives you the fundamentals of management in ALL call centres and a clear understanding of how it all comes together operationally.
Excellent!
The Introduction to Contact Centre Management is an excellent course for those looking to understand contact centres from a helicopter view and benchmark their operations. From the fundamental pillars to critical KPIs and performance metrics that underpin almost every contact centre globally, Justin is personable and professional and speaks with authority on a topic he knows intimately.
You'll learn heaps!
Justin offers such a wealth of knowledge and skills that can be applied to leaders in any business. Thank you Justin!
Effective and Interactive!
Justin created a great call centre fundamentals program for our organisation, based on the skill gaps that needed filling. Although it was at the height of the Melbourne lockdown, the session was still interactive, interesting and achieved the desired result.
Highly Recommend!
Justin from CX Skills responded promptly to my training enquiry. He heard what we wanted and we discussed the best way to present this during Melbourne Lockdown. He conducted the introduction to contact centre leadership remotely with a small group. He weaved his contact centre experience with humour and activities that were appropriate and engaging. In the end, each person agreed that they learnt lots and were going to apply at least one thing back in their role. I would highly recommend CX Skills and Justin for training and support.
Skills for Life!
If you’re looking for a contact centre subject matter expert, brilliant communicator, and all-round top bloke, look no further than Justin. Since the course, Justin has taken the time to answer any follow-up questions and will check in occasionally to see how things are going.
