“I went twice! Having attended this course the past two years, has kept me on track to becoming the leader I strive to be. The course content was clear, precise, and easy to follow. It pushed me to self-reflect and re-focus on what I need to continue to work on and do something about it. Christine helped me to ‘Look inward and not outward’, this has been the most useful advice I have received in some time.”

I have also worked with Chris as an Associate in co-delivering workshops, a panellist and co-ordinating workshop catering.

“This was the second time I had attended the training, yet I still found myself just an engaged as the first time and even managed to learn a few more things about the history of Aboriginal culture. I think the virtual offering (due to COVID) was certainly a huge testament to Christine’s ability to facilitate training and deliver a package which is still super interesting despite it being virtual – it was engaging and informative and I never felt like I lost focus.”

“The presentation was very good. The workshop really got me thinking of things I had not previously thought of before and this is something I am going to be more mindful of in the future. In summary:

  • Content was very relevant and easy to follow
  • Christine is very relatable and knowledgeable on the subjects
  • Her sharing of her own life experiences brings the human factor into the training and helped me to engage with topics
  • Duration and breaks worked well

Thanks Christine, I really enjoyed the training. This was my first long virtual workshop, and it ran very well.”

“Westpac have been utilising Christine’s services for the delivery of a series of localised Cultural Awareness Workshops for our Leaders across Regional WA. Christine has been able to facilitate and promote open and honest discussions from participants. As a result, many myths have been dispelled and she has created higher levels of understanding and respect of the Aboriginal culture. Christine’s ability to provide her own personal insights, experiences and her journey has proven most beneficial, giving a sense of reality and currency to all participants.
