In operation since 2004, there are too many clients, across too many sectors to count, here a just a few ...
We challenged you with scope and timeframes especially. You have been patient and flexible with us along the way, which has resulted in a product that I believe will provide the Minister with something valuable to work on with cabinet.​​
​A/Director General State Government
Consummate professionals in all things engagement. Their planning, attention to detail and co-operative manner ensure excellent results.
Local Government CEO
Joel is a master at bringing blocks of different shapes, sizes and materials together build a foundation for understanding – and opening new paths to a better future.
Manager - United Nations - ESCAP 
My experience working with Joel triggers a side of me that I don’t often have chance to explore. He creates a space for deep thought, for calmness, for possibilities, which magically allows for understanding potential and exploration of avenues that may have otherwise remained uncovered.

His beautiful respect, empathy and non-threatening exploration into the ‘what if’ has helped me fulfil both organisational and professional potential. I’d work with him daily if I could.”
CEO – Community Service
His authenticity and person centred approach facilitates a values driven context within which organisations and individuals can reflect and grow.

This approach has enabled my individual leadership capability and facilitated ongoing development throughout the organisation”

​Here are some foundations in facilitation that sit at the core of the facilitators work to consider;

Orbits of Implementation
A number of years ago, Lorenz Aggens offered us the Orbits of Participation. The orbits of participation are an elegant model that is used around the world as a stakeholder mapping tool.

These orbits offer an important perspective on influence over decision making and even on different roles that may assist with balancing power differentials, e.g. shifting people closer to or further away from the decision maker role. However, the orbits of participation stop at the decision making and don’t flow through to implementation. 
 
Strategies and plans are important, but it is often the implementation where things fall over.

Power or Truth
My truth, your truth, our truth, THE truth … in this post truth era of ‘alternative facts’ it would seem that the most needed commodity on the planet at the moment is the hardest to find.
 
People and societies are asking for a clear way through the many complex and challenging issues we face. Climate change, the rate of family violence, depression, dementia, obesity, slavery (aka. human trafficking), the degree of trust in governments and religious institutions, the ongoing intolerance and discrimination that occurs due to race, religion or gender, corporate greed, abuse of the elderly, to name but a few.
