Our approach

We work with inspiring people, on great projects to positively benefit organisations, communities and individuals.

Calm - No drama! We approach our work with our clients in a considered, casual yet professional, manner.

Responsive - We understand that things change. Our approach is flexible and responsive to our clients’ needs.

Respectful - For us listening, respecting and learning from knowledge holders in a culturally safe space is really important. 

Our Values

Social justice - Our work is situated in an understanding of social justice and how systems and structures impact women and First Nations peoples. We view the world through this lens.

Focus on relationships - relationships are everything. We start with getting grounded in the organisation and culture. We prefer to work face to face (or zoom!) where possible and on Country of the client we are working for.

Support First Nations peoples and women-led approaches - self determination - We work in the background assisting those with cultural knowledge and authority. Our role is to support, boost capacity and capability, fill gaps - not to take over.

Kindness - We work from a base principle of kindness.
