Organisations don't change: people do
CLIENTS
Ingrid facilitated a team building and strategic planning day for the AMP Capital Real Estate Sustainability team. The team building event really helped our new team get to know each other, build personal connections whilst articulating a shared vision for our work together.
Ingrid's approach helped draw out strong contributions from each team member, building a sense of common purpose and group ownership of the sustainability strategy.
Ingrid's approach differs from other strategy consultants I've worked with in that she starts with the individuals, helping participants build understanding of each other, our unique motivations, and personal stories. This very personal starting point builds a strong foundation for a respectful and open discussion about goals and targets.
Ingrid helped us build a psychological safety and trust among the team which will allow us to work together more openly and which I think will bring out the best in our team. While the strategy is great, the intangible aspect of the rapport we built as a team is I think the most valuable part of what we did with Ingrid.
I would recommend Ingrid to others seeking to build a strong and healthy team culture, set a strategic vision, and unlock individual performance.
Individual and team performance has improved because of Ingrid’s team/mentoring program. Her approach is well-considered and very professional incorporating a range of best practice leadership techniques and exercises. I would recommend Ingrid for any similar work.
I have been working with Ingrid for 6 months in a coaching program. The focus of the program was developing leadership skills and mindset. We have had a mix of face-to-face sessions and phone coaching and I really enjoyed the work we have done together.
Throughout the coaching sessions, I really enjoyed the fact that Ingrid was focused on my goals and how to get me there. The coaching sessions have been valuable for me in many ways. Ingrid was supportive, challenged me at times and made me reflect which resulted in a clear improvement on the goals I had set for myself when we started the coaching sessions.
I have made clear progress after 6 months of coaching and I would highly recommend Ingrid for any sustainability professional looking to further develop leadership skills and broaden their ability to influence in all sorts of challenging situation.
I recently attended a workshop hosted by Ingrid of Authentic Values, co-hosted by EcoSTEPS. I found the workshop of great value. I particularly enjoyed the exposure to new and interesting techniques to open and influence organisations towards sustainable operations. I feel that the full comprehensive course that Ingrid will be running will be a great success.
Ingrid has been my mentor and coach for 5 years and her wisdom and calm, centred approach has helped me sit in my passion and purpose when making career decisions.
Ingrid's own message beautifully captures our professional relationship - 'I work with people who want to change and create services and products that are having a positive impact on humanity and planet.' In my time with Ingrid, I have written and published 2 books and have evolved into a non-for-profit leader who connects with kindness, empathy and a natural energy.
I thoroughly recommend Ingrid to any individual or organization who is looking to evolve for the better. We are all one.
We only had positive feedback from Ingrid’s presentation with staff leaving with a strong sense of Biophilic Design and how we can best utilise it to suit our needs.
We enjoyed the way Ingrid re-imagined collaboration techniques based on ancient wisdom, that we've somehow lost or forgotten.
We had a great day in the Royal National Park with our whole team facilitated by Ingrid. The day was very well prepared by her.
We were impressed by Ingrid’s gentle way of guiding us through the day looking for our purpose, unique qualities, and team bonding. We finished the day being enriched with great insights in how nature can help us to understand our own little world.
After much seeking, I finally found in Ingrid the off-script and personalized coaching I was looking for. I walked out with a clearer view of my path and with tools to overcome current blocks. Her holistic approach made our time more enriching.
I've worked with Ingrid on many occasions and always enjoyed her energy, insightfulness, and clear thinking. Ingrid is a wonderful addition to any project or team, and I'd highly recommend her on a professional and personal basis.
Ingrid came to our summer team retreat this year as the main facilitator on our invitation, as I had seen her work previously with Way of Nature Australia. Our goal was to implement deeper contemplative practices within our workflow and our company culture.
She held a patient but firm space for our team to evolve our thinking and contributed her time, energy and headspace for our future work. It was nothing less than transformative for our team, who reached a deeper level of connection and collective consciousness about who we are and why we are doing this work. We have carried those practices forward in to our meetings and even assigned a core member of our team to ensure we evolve ourselves moving forward.
I would recommend Ingrid’s work to other teams or businesses who would like to see a deeper level of consciousness brought to their workplace and within their company culture. With Ingrid’s help, I believe workplaces of the future could use more cutting edge models of inner work practices that will make work more enjoyable, evolutionary and thoughtful.
Ingrid's passion around sustainability in business is contagious, her style of 'holding the container firm enough to allow the rich input from the audience' makes it a great learning experience for each of us.... the conversations just don’t stop... Great work, Ingrid!!
Ingrid provided an excellent exploratory workshop in a comparison of Indigenous and Western relationships with the issue of sustainability. The event was creatively presented and stimulated an enlightening and rich controversial conversation which was well facilitated.
Ingrid helped facilitate a series of workshops involving the top Health and Wellness Leaders from across Australia. She has a unique ability to synthesize critical information as communicate it in a friendly and courteous manner. She also operates with heart and is very personable - very strong qualities.
I recently participated in a "Networking in Nature" event that Ingrid facilitated. By using interesting analogies and stories, she stimulated the group to think differently and explore new perspectives around the topic of "What is success".
She listened to participants with an open and curious attitude. I view that as 'the art of the ultimate facilitator.
