Letting off steam: sometimes it is the simple things that teach you the most

“My mum’s fetish with ironing was both extreme and experiential. Over the years, she has tried numerous irons, ironing boards and ironing board covers. I remember her cajoling Dad to buy her a ridiculously expensive iron that no-one else in the family could understand how to use (I couldn’t even lift it). Its expensiveness (and unfriendliness) provided a rather useful justification to us three kids however. It meant we really could not help out with the ironing. I reckon that was Mum’s plan though: she was never very keen for any of us to iron. It was her thing.”

some nice words

  • Julie is a master facilitator. She creates positivity and action from every group session.

    Mia Swainson | Facilitator, Strategist and Executive Coach

  • I want to thank Julie for working with us to bring this workshop to life. Julie did a great job delivering on our vision and helping send our young water professionals back out across the state with a greater awareness of the SDGs. Our conversations with Julie are always fruitful and she provides the clarity and feedback loops to get the rubber hitting the road. A rare skill indeed.

    Michael O’Neil | Victorian Government

  • Thank you again for the fabulous job you did facilitating our planning workshop. You really added so much value to our planning discussions and kept the conversations on track and outcome focussed.

    Jacqui Bell | AusTrade

  • I absolutely hit the jackpot when I found Julie. Bringing her into run several workshops for us was one of the best things I've done this year. She brings a depth of knowledge about sustainability, She is efficient, organised and responsive. More importantly, she brings a real warmth, energy and passion to all her interactions and this plants the seeds of change in others.
