Glynis Flower – Previous Executive Officer – Women’s Health Tasmania

Women’s Health Tasmania has been aware of the work of Leadership & Change Consultants have untaken in various parts of the community sector in Tasmania.

Michelle Swallow is highly regarded for her broad experience and her analytical and planning skills. She was a natural choice when we required an exceptional facilitator for the Making Choices Forum. We aimed to bring together a number of stakeholders to work towards more coordinated services for people exiting prison, especially with a view to a gendered approach. This was not an easy task as there were service providers from government and the community sector, large and small organisations and a number of consumers to be included.

Briefing Michelle in preparation was so much easier because of her existing knowledge of the issues and her understanding of the systems involved.

As well as some positive outcomes, including the formation of new networks, participants praised the facilitation very highly. As requested, the report completed by Michelle and Leadership & Change Consultants was clear and action focussed.
