    I found the overall experience really valuable. In a deadline driven, reactive team its easy to just churn and burn. To sit and think about why we do what we do and the value we bring to the organisation really adds meaning to the job. After doing the workshop I feel really proud of the work I do, but also really motivated for what’s to come.

    The sessions we did with Ros were invaluable. They gave us space to think more holistically and strategically away from the often reactive nature of the day-to-day. Ros has a brilliant ability to empower you to broaden your thinking, to push you to think two or three steps above the issue you think you have, to then see the higher-level solution. My colleague and I often reflect on our sessions with Ros and the way our thinking has evolved as a result.

    I have participated in a number of development programs with Ros over several years, including a comprehensive 10-week mentoring and strategic communications alignment course, where she guided us through the development of an extremely valuable team document.

    Along the journey, the passion and expertise shown by Ros was second to none and it resulted in achieving all outcomes we wanted for our department, including building confidence in each team member’s purpose within our organisation.

    I’d highly recommend anyone leading a team of communications professionals to engage in this mentoring service.
