Sarah Jordan, Director, Hope for the Future

“Hannah recently worked with us to support our board refresh, including an audit of our current board's skills, experience and EDI considerations. Hannah brought so much expertise and lived experience in building an effective board and made use of her extensive networks to find a fantastic and diverse set of candidates - many of whom may not have considered applying if they hadn't been approached. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for support in developing their board.”

Ben Hewitt, Director, Groundswell Ventures

“It's simple: If you want to win a campaign then you talk to Hannah. If you want to build a movement, yep... you talk Hannah. Her experience and strategic insights are invaluable. I have always found that her approach to building a movement and mobilising a community is spot on. She knows how to inspire people and she knows how to support them in taking action.”

“Hannah provided my team with a couple of extremely engaging writing training sessions for digital campaigns. Hannah is an absolute expert in her field, but makes learning accessible and fun. The training has completely changed – for the better – the tone and quality of email content. We’ve rebooked her to come and train more of our staff!”

Nat Whalley, CEO and Co-Founder, Organise

“We really enjoyed the training Hannah provided for our team on giving and receiving feedback. Thanks to the training we've built on our culture of feedback and the team are thriving. Hannah's expertise and inclusive facilitation was really well received, and the team were buzzing after Hannah's session with us.”
