Facilitation and Training work with Shae
2015 - Present
Insight Speech
- Facilitation of interagency and family meetings
‘I am in awe of Shae’s ability to facilitate a recovery team’s differing agendas into a cohesive event where everyone is heard with heart and respect. Shae makes it look deceptively simple, when in fact it is her immense skill and personal attributes that facilitate non-judgemental discourse, where each member gets their needs met. Outcomes are evident and celebrated, at the pace of the person at the centre of the meeting, with clear plans moving forward, where everyone has rights and responsibilities towards the action items and goals that are set. I learn so much from Shae every time I work with her.’
