You’ve steered us through such a complex process really brilliantly. We would not be here in this calm, positive and collaborative place without your leadership and hard work.

MJC’s strategic work takes several forms – from advising government on cultural programs and trends, to working with small to medium organisations on everything from clarifying the purpose of a single project, to completely reimagining the future.

My own experience, values and personal challenges in leadership roles provide a bedrock of experience, while my respect and admiration for the small to medium arts sector provide fertile ground for meaningful and actionable results.

This sector, with its agility, ambition, passion and derring-do, is of particular personal interest to me; it is immensely satisfying to make a contribution to a healthy future in uncertain times – which is all the time!

Thanks for your enthusiasm and patience with this process. It’s a challenge to coordinate disparate organisations to make a joint strategy which we needed.

This document [Strategic Plan] has created a clear pathway for all of us to follow which, when combined with the Business plan you have helped us create, will hopefully provide us with a shared understanding, and foundation, to move forward.

Thank you for your incredible work on creating this strategic plan which we badly needed. You have really made the world of difference to us as an organisation.

There is a real feeling of optimism across the board due to your efforts in guiding us in the right direction and getting us all a lot more organised in so many ways.

I have attended any number of these, and I feared it was going to be a half day of waffle.

This was excellent – so practical and purposeful, always reminding us why we do what we do. Excellent job.

Thank you … you were brilliant today.

I would happily sit through it all again.

Plenty of learnings.

Thank you for coming to facilitate our strategy day. I certainly enjoyed the day and found it very useful and thank you. I appreciated your input prior so we ensured we made the most of the board and the day!
