“It was such a pleasure to work with Leadership Space to ensure our Strategic Planning Day was a success. Their friendly and efficient approach, combined with a structured and logical format, ensured that the whole team was engaged and that we produced excellent outcomes that will enable us to put a coherent and achievable strategic plan into practice.”

“Prior to going through the program logic process however we struggled to identify and articulate both our theory of change and our organisation’s central value proposition. Over the last 3 months this process has helped us review and re-evaluate several core assumptions that were both un-examined and unhelpful.

Elise’s strength as a facilitator is matched by her incredible value as a mentor and she skilfully used the program logic model to strategically reposition our organisation to rest more solidly upon our innate strengths. I highly recommend the process to any organisation seeking to pause and sharpen the saw.”

“Leadership Space was formative in a time of change and transition at Brisbane Powerhouse. The combination of personality profiling, a team workshop and then ongoing coaching for the leadership team was critical in not only setting strategic direction but maintaining our focus on getting there. They have the right mix of NFP understanding, expert facilitation tools and a gentle/firm touch, depending on what was needed.”

"Over the last 18 months we have worked extensively to develop our strategic direction and to facilitate a number of key executive staff interactions. Elise is highly professional and brought experience, energy and clarity to the tasks assigned to her.

She was able to articulate the issues succinctly and keep us moving towards a meaningful and useful set of decisions. She has a deep understanding of the not-for-profit sector and I have no hesitation in recommending her."

“We just did in 1 day, what would have taken us 6 months”.

“Thank you 3 times-over for facilitating TFN’s team development day. As we charge forward, I think we will later reflect on this day as a cultural moment for our team. It was just the right balance of useful and emotional, accelerating our chances of gelling and working together successfully.”

“Leadership Space has provided team and individual coaching to members of the C&K Executive Leadership Team over the past 3 years. In a complex and rapidly changing environment the support to the executive team has been instrumental to our success as a team and individually as we work to address ‘wicked questions’, high workloads and complex change."

“Elise worked with Milk Crate Theatre on our Board Review. We gained a clear and united view of the kind of person and skills we wanted and needed with regards to a new Chairperson. The one-on-one interviews with Directors provided great value, highlighting areas the board needed to resolve and agree on as a team, as well as gaps and opportunities to further strengthen the organisation. The facilitated workshop clarified our position on key issues and introduced us to useful frameworks to extend our strategic thinking. Thanks for partnering with us on this work.”

“This year's strategy conference facilitated by Leadership Space was by far the best of the four I have organised since 2010. This was confirmed by others who had attended all. Thank you for your enormous energy and professionalism.”

“A fantastic facilitation job. You listened, engaged, adapted and connected deeply and that was before we got to the two-day off-site! You then did an excellent job facilitating the large and diverse group. We’re really grateful that you helped us nail what it was we were striving for – to bring people together with a positive energy and culture with a commitment to working together into the future.”

“Brilliant work facilitating our strategic planning workshop. It was an exhilarating day, challenging in all the right ways, and your ability to keep our energy focussed, the conversations flowing, and then to distil them with such clarity is outstanding.”
