TESTIMONIALS

“My role is to light the spark of possibility in others.
Candles represent my dream – all of us alive with
passion, full of light and collectively sending out much
more light than any one of us can as an individual.”

 


“Susan is a highly skilled facilitator and communicator who has a depth of practical local government knowledge.  We have been able to rapidly accelerate our ‘getting to know you’ time, and set clear, agreed directions.  Susan has also helped us steer through the very necessary frank and fearless conversations that build strong foundations”.

Noelene Duff, Chief Executive Officer, City of Whitehorse

“Thanks again for today – great to feel focused and organised!”.

 
Cath Botta, Participant, Plan in a Day, 2018

“Thank you so much for your wisdom, care and guidance with the Board session yesterday. You had a deep understanding of our hopes and expectations and managed to beautifully guide our group through the thinking to generate meaningful conversation”.

What an exciting session, Thank You!

 
 
Suzanna Christison, Board Member NESAY

“Firstly, thank you for a great workshop on Saturday. As I said at the end my expectations were met by lunchtime and the outcome was more than encouraging.  The informal feedback from our committee members and in turn from the user groups they represent has been strongly positive with increased optimism for the future of the Reserve.  Over the years I have sat through some boring and non-productive planning days; this was definitely not one of them! My personal thanks for a great job as well as that of our Committee members who attended”.

 
Alan Garside, Secretary Myrtleford Recreation Reserve Inc
