Our valued clients have this to say about our work:

 

 'Collective Possibilities conducted an induction workshop for a new committee being established by Maroondah City Council. Lindy as the facilitator was engaging, well organised and flexible in meeting our needs. Lindy successfully facilitated discussions in an inclusive manner and drew on a range of experiences which were both relevant and valuable. The feedback from community representatives, service providers and Councillors has been extremely positive and we would highly recommend her.'

Noelene Greene, Manager Community Development

 

vlga'Collective Possibilities brought a rich understanding of  people, group dynamics, self awareness and process to both the planning and delivery of work they did with us - they came from an enabling and inclusive perspective and demonstrated respect and admiration for the input and wisdom of the group. We would not hesitate to work with Collective Possibilities again in the future.'

Darren Ray, Acting CEO,
Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA)

 

'Lindy's coaching has been a 'great plus' in the development of my leadership performance. She likes to "tell it likemorn pen it is" while at the same time energising me to solve a range of problems, concentrate on strengths and build self efficacy. I have found it so helpful to de-brief as well as to discuss dreams and aspirations with someone who can provide objective support.

'Like all good coaches Lindy provides practical tools and techniques and a strong sounding board that has enabled me to analyse and solve many work related challenges. Ultimately Lindy has helped me realise my full potential through encouragement and critical questioning all designed to improve my performance as a Manager. Thanks Lindy for your valued support and working with me, through both the good and difficult times.'

'The Shire of Yarra Ranges engaged Collective Possibilities for a community consultation project in late 2007. Your facilitator was engaging, personable and professional,  who works very well with community members. The facilitator successfully navigated a clear path through often difficult conversations and provided creative input to the development of ideas and input, making sure community members felt valued and included.'

Knox'Lindy's engaging, inclusive, intelligent and intuitive style has been instrumental in transforming Knox City Council's organisational culture. Her advanced skills in group facilitation, coaching and mentoring, combined with high levels of expertise and experience enabled her to readily engage with a broad range of leadership, people and culture issues'

'Lindy's facilitation style is personable, professional and engaging. The feedback we constantly receive from our LGProparticipants reflects Lindy's ability to make each participant feel personally immersed in a learning experience. One of Lindy's key strengths is her ability to adapt to different audiences and to draw from the real-life experiences of those in the room. Lindy also brings great energy and a sharp sense of humour to her workshops and one on one coaching sessions which can make the most challenging discussions more 'palatable' and fun.'

'I have had the pleasure of working with Ursula of Collective Possibilities on a project to prepare our south port community housingorganisation for accreditation. Ursula immediately lifts one's spirits with her vibrant, positive, can-do approach. The depth of her knowledge of organisations, their styles, structures and potential issues, is highly impressive. Ursula put time into assessing the scope of our task very thoroughly and was therefore able to work very quickly and effectively. Ursula has a capacity to generate a huge amount of work in a very short time frame. Her warmth and technical competence means that she quickly gains the support and trust of all involved in the project and she is careful to involve all relevant stakeholders when necessary.'

'The Executive retreat was highly successful due to the program developed with you and your facilitation skills. bendigoThere was plenty of time for participants to speak and not to be spoken to all the time. Drawing on your experience and keeping us on track, checking in with the group, observations of how the group was functioning and different approaches to task were all very valuable.

Participants gained awareness of each other and the team. We got some direction and discussion on the issues had time to reflect, and had lots of fun...Well facilitated Lindy!


John McClean, Chief Executive Officer
City of Greater Bendigo
