Testimonials
"Rowena is able to see the big picture and small details at the same time - it is a rare quality."
Darral Campbell
CEO, Dementia Canterbury
"I really enjoyed the opportunity to be part of the kōrero rather than needing to lead it, as well as the chance to step back and think of things differently to being in the daily."
Combining expertise with warmth and authenticity, making even complex topics feel approachable and relevant. I leave sessions feeling informed, inspired, and ready to put ideas into practice.”
- Andrew Ingersoll
"Rowena provided consultancy services for our Trust and provided input & a framework for our strategy session earlier this year. The framework helped the meeting stay on track and trustees focusing on the right areas. It was a very productive meeting with great outcomes. Thoroughly recommend Rowena's services and the value she can add to any organisation!"
Trustee of a Christchurch Trust
Rowena took us through an "under the hood" session which allowed us to look at our business in a different light. We have often had advisors and consultants who have been primarily in the startup space, and Rowena's experience across a range of industries and business sizes proved extremely helpful for us. She has a very practical and pragmatic approach to business which we really appreciated.

"We had Rowena consult with us to develop a Strategic Workshop which helped to streamline our organisation,
vision casting, planning and preparation coming into the new
year. Her input was invaluable and helped us to focus on key areas and maximise our time together as a leadership team.
Through the consultation process we were pleased to have some practical and applicable steps to follow that
were specific to our organisation."
