Testimonials

“The RSPCA Tasmania leadership team recently attended a leadership workshop facilitated by Lucy Byrne, and we found the experience engaging, thought-provoking, and highly practical. Lucy created a dynamic and safe environment that encouraged honest reflection and meaningful discussion. Her insights into different leadership styles, emotional triggers, and responses to pressure resonated strongly with our team and provided us with tools we can apply immediately in our day-to-day work. we left the session energised, more self-aware, and better equipped to lead with empathy and confidence. Lucy’s ability to blend theory with real-world application made the day both enjoyable and deeply valuable.”

"We engaged Lucy to facilitate a leadership workshop for all the staff in our organisation responsible for managing staff and / or teams. It was a diverse mix of people, with some who had participated in leadership programs before to those who were experiencing one for the first time. Lucy was excellent. Knowledgeable, relatable and with a great level of energy (and sense of fun). She was able to pitch the concepts and learning to the level and pace of the group. Lucy is one of the best facilitators I've experienced in a long-time"

“Toosey Aged and Community Care engaged the services of Lucy to facilitate both a governance and strategic planning workshop for our board and leadership team, through these two workshops we found Lucy to be fun but challenging, she was patient and persistent with our Team, she encourage us to think laterally. Her knowledge and understanding of the requirements of Governance, especially for not-for-profit organisations like ours was invaluable to us. Her follow up documentation was delivered in an accurate and usable form and it arrived within the agreed time frame. A very constructive and satisfying two days”

"Lucy ticks all the boxes with her training, full knowledge of her teachings, professional at all times and listens to her clients giving them the opportunity to fully participate in learning. This training was a step-by-step guide on how to implement the process for becoming a successful community provider and to partner up with other likeminded services along with what information is required to apply for funding. I would highly recommend this training for existing and new start-ups to partake and to leave with valuable information to put into action if you have not already!"
