Testimonials
Kate worked with us prior to the session to ensure that the right questions were being asked for the outcomes we were seeking.
Kate’s facilitation enabled our group to develop a clear set of actions, and inspired members of the group to take on those actions. These went on to form the structure of our Heatwave Plan. I would highly recommend Circle Wise to deliver well structured, stimulating facilitation that keeps the group focused on the purpose of coming together."

“Kate motivated us to think beyond our own direct interests and to look at the wider picture. Her presentation was clear and well led, keeping us on track, which I am sure is no easy task”

Woodend Neighbourhood Centre
“Kate worked with the staff of the Cultural Development Unit and the Arts Advisory Committee who although worked for the same agenda were completely unaware of each other or their skills. Kate was hired to convene a day where these two groups came together to plan. She provided ways for all participants to get to know each other as well as produce some viable outcomes for the future joint activities. Both groups gained a clearer understanding of each others role and responsibilities as well as shared some dreaming. Kate’s relaxed and fun approach was perfect for this process and these people.”

"Kate led a community consultation session in Woodend in 2009 seeking the community's views on the Arts Precinct. There were many different views put forward by a broad range of people and it was great to have an intelligent and experienced facilitator with the patience to keep people focussed on the purpose of the meeting. No easy task. I’d be very happy to recommend Kate as an expert community group facilitator."
