Testimonials

Léa played a vital role in commencing our work on EDIB. Her commitment to and enthusiasm for understanding both us as an organisation as well as the needs and circumstances of the young people we support shone through. Léa made us think, question and challenge but all within safe boundaries, which has helped us take big strides in moving this work forwards over the space of 12 months. We enjoyed working with Léa and are pleased to recommend her.

Karenza MortonCommunications Manager at Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust

Lea was a pleasure to work with. A great collaborator, full of energy, ideas and focus. She spotted when it was necessary to lead or to enable. The co-creation of Cornwall’s Creative Manifesto was a particular highlight of our time working together. Lea’s passion and expertise on shaping the inclusion and diversity priority of the Manifesto shone through. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lea or work with her again.

Tamzyn SmithCEO of Cornwall Museums Partnership

We had the pleasure of commissioning Léa to facilitate conversations about identity and diversity for arts & culture professionals and venues in Cornwall. Our participants greatly appreciated Léa’s guidance and insights. Léa possesses a deep understanding in the area of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), which in partnership with her facilitation skills not only drove meaningful discussions, but also created a safe environment where everyone felt heard and valued.

Working with Léa has been a career highlight. I worked with Léa on a big cultural change project - I was the client and she was the consultant. Through her natural curiosity, Léa took the time to really understand our starting point and ambitions as an organisation. She planned in a way that was realistic but ambitious, linking the project plan to our goals and organisational challenges. During the project, she was structured and planned whilst also being agile - responding to the insight she discovered along the way. A big part of the project was listening to employees and Léa did this in an extremely caring and sensitive way - taking the time to build trust with everyone she worked with. Overall, I found her style to be incredibly dynamic and she was able to carefully bring all of our stakeholders on-board - from our ERGs to senior leadership and our CEO. Léa strikes an incredible balance of always being kind and professional yet challenging us every time it was needed - this is something I really appreciated.
