“Why did you write a kids’ book book about healthy lifestyles when you now facilitate strategic planning and governance workshops?”
"𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀’ 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝘀?”
“Some people have a lot to say about the lives they have never lived.”
This quote really resonates with my work
Should not-for-profit boards pay their directors?
With the rising cost of living, have times changed? Are our boards truly diverse if members can only participate when they can afford to volunteer? Or are we unintentionally becoming a group of privileged people sitting around big tables, while others with valuable lived experience can’t afford to give their time?
Facilitator, Trainer,… or a bit of both?
I’ve recently completed certification with the International Association of Facilitators, and it reminded me of one of the biggest differences between training and facilitation: the absence of content and the importance of neutrality.

Recently I had quiet moment whilst away, staring out to sea and letting my thoughts wander. It’s hard not to notice the weight of everything happening in the world right now, conflict, uncertainty, and challenges for some closer to home.
