It was inspirational, funny, and vulnerable. I would recommend Alicia for events where you want to challenge your delegates' thinking, inspire them, and make them think differently.

General Manager, Tamworth Regional Council
THANK YOU for your incredible positive impact on our organisation during 2020. All of our Strategic Projects have progressed in line with our original plans. We have established a new and reinvigorated Executive Team, have regular strategic sessions to evaluate our performance and stay on track, and are finally starting to trust our managers and staff to do their jobs without feeling like we have to meddle/interfere. The change has been noticed not only by our staff and Councillors but by many of our community stakeholders, who have commented on the progressive, positive and proactive attitude that is now becoming evident across all areas of our operations. You taught me so much about my role, purpose, approach, and attitude. You opened my eyes to obstacles that were right in front of me, but they had become so much a part of the scenery that I had become almost oblivious to their impacts on our progress. You are a star.

A huge thank you for your outstanding presentation to my team this afternoon. I’ve had so much great feedback on your session, and some of your phrases have already entered our lexicon. I am very grateful to you for having brought your wisdom, experience, and obvious enthusiasm for the local government sector to our meeting today. Thanks again

No bullshit, full vulnerability and full transparency. Most recently I was delighted when my niece shared something from Alicia and we were able to have a good conversation about what provoked us in what she had written. I first came across Alicia during covid when a leader brought her in to challenge and recharge a team that was feeling overwhelmed. She picked us up but let us get away with nothing. I’ve been following her ever since and I’ve particularly enjoyed her recent provocations. How can you express your opinion safely? Challenge others. Genuinely collaborate. Foster dialogue. Full endorsement.

I love your critical thinking Alicia, there is always something to take away, ponder and use. It's like a conversation with a really clever and humorous friend.

Thank you for offering this workshop to your subscribers. This offering is thoughtful and appreciative, and will ensure I have no hesitation to renew my annual subscription. Keep up the great work. I enjoyed the invitation to consider why I do things a certain way, in a professional context. I'll see more value in observing rather than jump in with my opinion or data to support the conversation. By observing, I can learn more and offer even more insight later, which will ultimately serve to help my opinions cut through more effectively in future.
