Lindsey is a tremendous coach. Conversations were very clear about what we wanted to get out of a coaching session. She’s good at challenging answers and ideas, without this seeming confronting, and this is where she helped me see opportunities for changing my people leadership style. These I have taken into my new role, and I am using continuously.

From the very beginning Lindsey worked closely with me to identify the outcomes my team and I needed from the workshop and to make sure that the day was designed with these specifically in mind. The time flew by - Lindsey is a really engaging and thoughtful facilitator with skills to read the room and encourage participation from even the shyest member of a team. Our workshop was focused on creating one team with a shared purpose and to kick off the development of a new strategy. I walked away at the end of the day feeling like a weight had lifted from my shoulders. My team had got to know each other better and understand the depth of skills and experience they bring to work every day. We'd agreed our shared purpose, identified and committed to the actions we would take to make us successful as a team. And we had the framework of the strategy in place. The icing on the cake was that members of my team independently told me how much they had valued and enjoyed the day. The workshop was such a great investment for us - I'd highly recommend it.

Lindsey has a real genius for synthesising a broad spectrum of possibilities into a concise, clear direction. Coupled with that is her extraordinary ability to hold the big vision, whilst defining linear action steps that will keep you on track, ensuring you exceed your current expectations of what you believe is possible. If you are smart enough to work with Lindsey, your future business success is inevitable.

Lindsey is a natural coach, but does this by servant leadership and by example, and by doing so, provides a high level of confidence and provides an environment here where great can be done, both at an individual and team level.By providing high levels of; education, servant leadership, subject matter expertise, through preparation and structural input, distilling a vast amount of information into digestible content and stimulus for the workshop. Coaching what are already senior leaders in their own right and leading by doing, coaching by guiding, not preaching. I admire Lindsey’s energy, vision and bravery.

Lindsey had been at ACC for a number of years, understood the culture, the personalities, the cadence of the business and was able to coach and support me while I transitioned into the new role. She was also instrumental in coaching me as a peer not only over the short term but longer term. I think the greatest quality Lindsey brings to coaching is her approachability and her ability to really get into the heart of what you are working on. She is also high in empathy and has loads of energy which is motivating as a coach.

Lindsey facilitated an epic one day workshop with our fundraising team in Wellington which enabled us to focus on our goals, identify challenges and motivate ourselves to overcome them within a team and as individuals. If you want your team to develop trust in each other and develop a solid plan for future success, I thoroughly recommend Turas.

Working at the Stroke Foundation of New Zealand has been an eye-opening experience into the world of non-profits. Like any organisation we can fall into siloed working environments, particularly as part of the fundraising team in national office, separate from our support workers around the country. After our workshop with Turas, I feel more empowered to treat every interaction within and outside the organisation as an effective connection point to grow each relationship. As one of the front line people answering phones, the exercises in the workshop helped me better understand and appreciate the importance of the fundraising team as a connector between different people in the organisation, and how we can apply and use the amazing breadth of skills we already have to encourage others to make the connections they have flourish too.

Lindsey's workshop was fantastic. It was fun but also very solution-focused, and we came out of it with an actionable plan that will take us to the next level.

Our workshop with Turas was professional, uplifting and insightful. I enjoyed Lindsey's presentation style and the way she talked with us instead of at us. Her sessions were interactive and fun, and it helped us bond as a team.

I would absolutely recommend Lindsey to anyone. Not only does she help you from a professional point of view but takes a holistic approach to cover your personal wellbeing as well. After our first session together I had already implemented life changing strategies to progress me in both my personal and professional development.

Finding a mentor/coach that you can easily connect with and build trust and confidence, is key to a successful coaching experience.
Lindsey not only has a gift in connecting and building trust with people but importantly she has mastered the art on identifying areas that you dont even realise could benefit a bit of guidance. She provides amazing resources and tailored programs that help realise new opportunities.
After a short introductory session, Lindsey tailored a program specific to my needs. Through the coaching sessions she has enabled me to rebuild my confidence and help me map out the next exciting chapter of my life.
Lindsey, has the ability to quickly 'get you' and then knows how to unlock your potential with awesome tools and resources!
You have been a superstar to work with. I really enjoyed our sessions, they've been fun and you are great at putting me at ease to create a relaxed environment.. You have been an inspiration and helped me rebuild my confidence through the self discovery journey. Which has now landed me in a place where I am excited and motivated to start activating my 5 year plan towards a career in governance!

I started coaching feeling lost, unsure of what I truly wanted other than something different but not climbing the corporate ladder. I'm not a fan of deep dives into emotions, but Turas was amazing at navigating that. They listened, gently nudged me out of my comfort zone with questions that made me think, not run for the hills. Turas helped me tease out what I truly valued - which turned out to be not more number crunching, but using my skills to empower others. Now I'm building a consulting business to help people navigate data ethically with confidence. It's scary but exhilarating at the same time and its all thanks to Turas. Working with Turas wasn't just about career direction, it was about finding my path, getting my life back on my terms.

Lindsey is a guru and a true professional. She is an expert at active listening and getting to the heart of my challenges and knows how to help me solve them. By the end of our sessions I always feel energised, motivated and leave with a positive and hopeful mindset.
It’s been so valuable and fun to work with you Linds. Even the tough uncomfortable stuff has been worth it. It’s been a long time since I’ve had someone purely focussed on my needs and it was rewarding to see my progress.

Lindsey went above and beyond to properly understand what we were needing and then put in a significant amount of work to prepare for an event she was hosting on our behalf. Her thoroughness, thoughtfulness and good sense of humour all paid off as she was an amazing host and really elevated the calibre of our event
