I hadn't planned on attending Jacinta's session at the IAP2 conference - stuff to do - but I just had to stay! She really sets the bar when it comes to online sessions. So warm, confident and engaging.
Jacinta, thanks for sharing your experiences and skills in your walk shop at the 2021 Community Engagement Summit. I left with a powerful addition to my engagement toolkit - excellent for kinetic learners who get forgotten about. I think it can be applied to client engagement and help bridge language challenges.
Jacinta did a fantastic job facilitating a room full of engagement professionals at the Community Engagement Summit. Jacinta's natural facilitation skills made everyone in the room feel at ease, with lots of laughs and connections made. Jacinta clearly is an expert facilitator, and I'd highly recommend her for any complex community or stakeholder engagement project!
My team completed the Design Workshops that Deliver Program, facilitated by Jacinta. Fantastic! It was engaging and energizing, and provided really practical tips and strategies that the team have already used and implemented. I highly recommend this training. It is one of the most useful programs I have undertaken.
Jacinta is a fabulously engaging facilitator! I had the pleasure of meeting Jacinta at a recent conference and even though she had the worst time slot on the agenda (end of day!), she absolutely shone! A room full of tired attendees were roused out of their chairs and enthusiastically chatting and laughing within minutes. In short, Jacinta's warmth and authenticity makes her someone you want to be around as much as you can. As I said on the day, I want to be more like Jacinta!
We love working with Jacinta and having her speak at our events! She is energetic, engaging and really understands how to create connections - even in the virtual space. Her fresh perspective and way of creatively finding solutions is exceptional!
Jacinta is an amazing facilitator! I just finished my first session with Jacinta and was blown away with her visuals, communication style and all that I learned.
Jacinta brings encouraging and engaging energy to her workshops. Using language and visual cues to ensure each participant could contribute, she was able to bring everyone out of their shell. Even the more reserved ones. The collaborative elements were effective in getting participants to speak candidly and openly about topics they may be less comfortable with. In Jacinta's hands, we had a productive and engaging session, and each of us took away something new to try in our work.
I have so many gems from the hour I spent with Jacinta at her Backstage Lunch and Learn. When you come early you see exactly what it is like to get ready for a workshop. You will learn so much before it even starts!
Jacinta guided us through a fast-paced, interactive walkshop that really dug deep. I loved the prep she gave us before hand, her vibrant, heart-felt facilitation style and her use of graphic tools. We got stuck right into the work, straight away. The only thing I wanted was more! Ka mau te wehi – Fantastic.
Just hopped off Jacinta's "Introduction to Facilitography Workshop" on zoom. The session was short, sharp and fun yet full of insights for any workplace. If you haven't heard of Facilitography or been on one of Jacinta's walkshops - do yourself a favour and signup. You'll see the world differently, and come away with your imagination sparking with creative ways to engage communities and stakeholders.
Jacinta delivered a highly engaging session to our new Councillor team. They left with a practical toolkit full of tips and tricks that they will use to lead and participate in committee and community meetings, community engagement and feedback sessions over the next 4 years. I highly recommend Jacinta.
I loved Jacinta’s energising and practical session about online meetings and workshops. Awesome tips that made a difference immediately. My goal from here is to consistently create online sessions that leave everyone refreshed. If you want to make the very most out of work from anywhere and to skill up in this area then schedule a session and shake up boring or static meetings.
Jacinta is approachable and professional. She was fantastic in helping me adjust to a different phase in my work life. Jacinta helped me identify strengths that I had and to be comfortable to step out in my own individual style and passions. She shared her knowledge and experience generously. As I have implemented this it has built up my confidence and energy at work. Sincere thanks to Jacinta!
I've had a very rewarding coaching conversation with Jacinta at the Never Done Before facilitation festival on how to bring more of the physical into the digital. She is super talented and I felt that I multiplied the number of experiences, ideas and practical solutions with my own through an intense and playful hour together with her.
Strategic planning can be tricky at the best of times but Jacinta made our first virtual planning days productive and energising. She guided us through the big pieces of work, utilised easy to use online tools and created plenty of space and time for everyone to contribute. I can strongly recommend Jacinta.
Jacinta facilitated an on line strategic planning weekend for our Board to review and set our overarching strategy, review organisation vision and values and assess our present and future capability and agility in this challenging economic, political and social environment. The planning for workshops was thorough, no moments wasted, peppered with a good amount of respectful challenging and opportunity to relax, share information and have some fun. I cannot recommend Jacinta highly enough. I'm involved in at least 6-8 strategy and planning sessions per year and this was the most productive and by far the most engaging. I would highly recommend engaging Jacinta.
Jacinta's facilitation is exemplar. Jacinta provided an engaging, professional and highly productive forum for our team.
Jacinta's new book Hum is a must have for anyone looking to improve engagement in their online meetings. It combines humour and practicality in a unique and entertaining manner. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this succinct and fun book!
Jacinta is an excellent facilitator, collaborator and visual recorder. She helps groups get to the heart of an issue, in a really light and insightful way.
