Our consultancy is built on the belief that every community holds the seeds of its own rejuvenation and success.
Nurturing these seeds into flourishing initiatives often requires a catalyst – a new perspective, a shared vision, or a unifying challenge. Our mission is to be that catalyst for change, leveraging our extensive experience in working with individuals and groups who have traditionally viewed transformation as someone else’s responsibility.
“As a key supporter of the Banksia Foundation, Lynne Strong has been instrumental in identifying and connecting us with ideal partner organisations within her extensive network.
