Rachael and the MAKR team facilitated a key planning day for our not-for-profit, Thursday Girls. They conducted a deep dive into our organisation and produced some really helpful next steps on how we needed to reshape our board and operations to prepare for the future. Rachael’s sensitivity was just the right approach to our group of hard-working volunteers and counsellors. Thanks Rachael for all you have done.”
