Real Life Success Stories

Pete Coleman​ - Communications Manager, Te Tari Pureke – Firearms Safety Authority

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

Jess Winchester​ - GM Fundraising & Marketing, Stroke Foundation

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.​

Jonathan Hales - Executive Partner, AKQA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

David Simpson - Chief of Strategy & Partnerships, Southern Cross

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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. 

Tania Brady - Trusts & Foundations Co-ordinator

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

Hamish Thornton - Donor Database Co-ordinator

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

How can I help you?

Personalised Learning: Shaping your Learning Experience to Fit You

  • Top-ups are online learning products so there’s no pressure on your time or being in the ‘right’ headspace – learn when you’re ready

  • Top-ups vary in format – automated webinars, e-worksheets and online courses in modules – to fit with how you like to learn

  • You can stop & start when it suits you.

Small Steps, Big Progress

  • Top-up topics cover the 3 foundations of Turas: Space, Power & Resilience. You’ll be able to see the range of ‘top-ups’ and how they fit together to make big progress. However, rather than bite off too much at once, you can pick & choose which one you want to focus on first to take the next step.

  • Each ‘top-up’ is broken down into bite-size, digestible steps so you can learn gradually without becoming overwhelmed.

  • Once completing a ‘top-up’, you’ll receive suggestions on which topic may be useful to tackle next to continue to make progress.
