I am all about CONNECTION
Humans are hardwired to connect, yet human connection is at an all-time low. That’s where I come in.
I have made creating connections my specialty.
I help individuals, organisations and communities build the connections they need to create the futures they want—but don’t yet know how to achieve. I believe that real change starts with the right conversations—ones that spark new ideas, push boundaries, and lead to meaningful action. Because when people connect in the right way, connection creates choice, and choice creates control over what comes next.
As a trainer, facilitator, advisor, and coach, I am passionate about bringing people together to explore possibilities, challenge thinking, and create real impact.
So, how can I help you?

Testimonials

“The session was engaging, thought provoking and encouraging. Allowing Directors of all levels of experience to feel comfortable and able to contribute. I particularly appreciated the time Lucy took to understand our organisation and its challenges - the session covered a great deal of information while allowing time and space for conversation and genuine sharing of ideas. I look forward to working with Lucy again and have no hesitation in recommending her to others.”

"Lucy has the knack of (what I deem to be) 'positive manipulation’ - she can entice the most reserved CEO to perform a yoga pose or the loudest disrupter to sit in contemplative silence. Above else, she’s just a darn good person hell bent on making humanity kinder, healthier and happier."
Kim Millar, Kim Millar Communication

This balance ensures participants remain alert and thoughtfully engaged throughout the experience.”
