Thanks Jacinta for such a well-planned and facilitated day. It was the circuit-breaker we needed. The activities broke down barriers, got our team thinking differently, raised energy and brought about connections that will last. Bravo!
Jacinta is a magician. She has helped us to re-ignite our efforts to measure public engagement across the Victorian government. She totally 'got' our purpose and I love how she works with metaphors! Jacinta came up with a really creative way to workshop a complex topic with my peers across government. And she facilitated each session with energy, empathy and humour. I can't recommend Jacinta highly enough.
We engaged Jacinta to design and facilitate our City Strategy Branch Day, and it was such a wonderful day! Thanks to her, we had many great conversations, positive energy and lots of learning! I often find days like these daunting, but the entire time I felt safe and comfortable to participate. I've been at Council for a long time, and this is the best Branch Day that I've been a part of. Thanks Jacinta!
I hadn't planned on attending Jacinta's session at the IAP2 conference - stuff to do - but I just had to stay! She really sets the bar when it comes to online sessions. So warm, confident and engaging.
Jacinta, thanks for sharing your experiences and skills in your walk shop at the 2021 Community Engagement Summit. I left with a powerful addition to my engagement toolkit - excellent for kinetic learners who get forgotten about. I think it can be applied to client engagement and help bridge language challenges.
Jacinta did a fantastic job facilitating a room full of engagement professionals at the Community Engagement Summit. Jacinta's natural facilitation skills made everyone in the room feel at ease, with lots of laughs and connections made. Jacinta clearly is an expert facilitator, and I'd highly recommend her for any complex community or stakeholder engagement project!
My team completed the Design Workshops that Deliver Program, facilitated by Jacinta. Fantastic! It was engaging and energizing, and provided really practical tips and strategies that the team have already used and implemented. I highly recommend this training. It is one of the most useful programs I have undertaken.
Jacinta is a fabulously engaging facilitator! I had the pleasure of meeting Jacinta at a recent conference and even though she had the worst time slot on the agenda (end of day!), she absolutely shone! A room full of tired attendees were roused out of their chairs and enthusiastically chatting and laughing within minutes. In short, Jacinta's warmth and authenticity makes her someone you want to be around as much as you can. As I said on the day, I want to be more like Jacinta!
We love working with Jacinta and having her speak at our events! She is energetic, engaging and really understands how to create connections - even in the virtual space. Her fresh perspective and way of creatively finding solutions is exceptional!
Sessions with Jacinta are such a breath of fresh air. Creative, well-paced and fun - and super inclusive. If you are looking for a facilitator who can bring the *whole* room along on the journey, you've found them!
The team walked away from Jacinta's lunch and learn session with some great tips to increase engagement during online sessions - something we have all been struggling with during the pandemic. I'm excited to learn more.
Jacinta was excellent. She managed the session with our board (their first in-person meeting in over a year due to COVID) brilliantly - everyone contributed and it felt like a really safe space thanks to Jacinta. And most importantly, our strategic plan got the spring clean it needed.
There is nothing more powerful than connection and Jacinta embodies this. Show What Matters was a creative, practical, and meaningful way remember to look at the world from a different angle. There are so many ways I will put what I learnt into action from stakeholder engagement to change management, communication and creative design. I look forward to more conversations with Jacinta sometime soon.
Jacinta ran her lunch n learn style facilitation class for Us at Organisational Development Australia. The workshop was fun and engaging, and reminded all of us of the Low-Fi facilitation tools we can draw on to work with participants in our own practise. Jacinta’s high energy approach made for a great session.
Jacinta's Show What Matters walkshop was a valuable experience, demonstrating the power of sharing your personal perspective through photos to build deeper connections between individuals. Thank you for sharing a great technique to increase stakeholder engagement at the beginning of any workshop.
Just finished an excellent workshop facilitated by Jacinta to the Organisation Development Australia group members. Jacinta was engaging and open, and I took so much away from her workshop to help me better facilitate my own. Thank-you Jacinta! It was a joy!
Jacinta is an expert in workshop design. Her training is purposeful, outcome focused, thoroughly in service of the group and full of surprises. Her unique way of being a modern day Mary Poppins - providing a treasure trove of ideas that keep coming out to meet your needs. No sugar added - in a debrief call she really heard me in and helped me reflect deeply on my workshop practice. I really appreciate it. Thanks Jacinta!
Jacinta is an amazing facilitator! I just finished my first session with Jacinta and was blown away with her visuals, communication style and all that I learned.
Jacinta brings encouraging and engaging energy to her workshops. Using language and visual cues to ensure each participant could contribute, she was able to bring everyone out of their shell. Even the more reserved ones. The collaborative elements were effective in getting participants to speak candidly and openly about topics they may be less comfortable with. In Jacinta's hands, we had a productive and engaging session, and each of us took away something new to try in our work.
I have so many gems from the hour I spent with Jacinta at her Backstage Lunch and Learn. When you come early you see exactly what it is like to get ready for a workshop. You will learn so much before it even starts!
