What Clients Are Saying
“Rebecca is a phenomenal facilitator. She leads from the heart with intense intelligence. She sees the world through a systems lens and challenges conventional thinking, never satisfied with a superficial or quick fix. She has a deep commitment to learning and building capacity in others, helping to create practical approaches that change how people think and act. Her manner in workshops puts everyone at ease, even the most cynical. She asks great questions and pushes participants to dig deep. She is committed to advancing New Zealand and dedicated to developing the next generation of thinkers and doers.”
Dr Claire Robinson, Former CEO Toi Mai Workforce Development Council“I have been lucky enough to benefit from Rebecca’s prowess in coaching, facilitation and systems change. Her extensive experience in interdisciplinary thinking across industries sees her bring a level of insight, guidance and connection that I have rarely seen before. Through her warm approach she created a safe and strong coaching relationship of accountability and growth. With her support I curiously questioned my career choices and next steps, identified and implemented bold solutions, and have grown my leadership potential in the cultural sector.”

“I’ve known Rebecca for a number of years now, in her capacity as co-creator and co-facilitator of the Pākehā Project, a systems thinker and as a coach. She thinks about the world in a unique way and has the kind of skills and experience we so desperately need for these complex modern times. She’s a systems thinker, a disrupter and a genuinely awesome human being. At Clare Foundation, along with Krissi Smith, she developed a systems change session for us. It was a truly special day and we still talk about how powerful it was in getting us to think differently about systems change, inter-connectedness and complexity.”
ALICE MONTAGUE CEO, CLARE FOUNDATION
“Rebecca is a remarkable human - she is wise, learned and widely read, yet she also makes everyone else feel that their ideas and stories are deeply valued. She brings kindness and curiosity to every conversation, as well as intellectual heft and a wealth of life experience.
As a freelance creative, it is a long time since I have engaged in study or even worked in a group on a day-to-day basis. Rebecca was key for helping me feel a sense of belonging, allow me to be myself, and feel free to ask any and all questions. No judgement, just good guidance. And also a terrific sense of joy.”
MICHELE A'COURT, FREELANCE CREATIVE“When I needed a trusted coach to help me navigate my professional place in the world, I naturally turned to Rebecca. She listens deeply, helps make sense of complexity, and reveals pathways forward that feel both grounded and expansive. Drawing from a richly layered toolkit, one that includes poetry, drawing, and genuine curiosity, she offers approaches that are refreshingly different and profoundly relevant. These generative, long-lasting tools supported me in moving through my challenges with clarity, confidence, and a more embodied leadership style. Rebecca is truly one in a million.”
