With 25+ years of combined leadership, facilitation, and strategy experience

Our team has supported over 20,000 people across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and North America to develop as leaders and changemakers. Our work has influenced strategy and leadership development across government, corporates, universities, and not-for-profits.

Northern Beaches Council

Operating within the complex landscape of local government — balancing financial pressures, political shifts, and diverse community needs — Northern Beaches Council required a unified strategic direction.

To achieve this, Rebecca facilitated a comprehensive engagement process for the Chief Executive Team and Executive Managers, moving from targeted interviews to a series of high-impact workshops.

The result was not just a robust, evidence-informed corporate plan, but a transformation in executive culture. The process fostered genuine cross-functional collaboration and established the structured methodology that now underpins Engagence’s approach to strategic clarity and high-performance leadership.

Rotary South Pacific

Bringing together 18 leaders from across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands, the newly formed Service Projects & Programs (SP&P) team faced a significant challenge: delivering a complex cross-regional portfolio without any shared history or established ways of working.

Engagence was commissioned to bridge this gap, designing a facilitation process that simultaneously built psychological safety and strategic clarity. By utilising CliftonStrengths diagnostics as a foundation, we helped the team map their collective talents — identifying strong execution capabilities while proactively addressing gaps in influencing themes as a design constraint rather than a deficit.

The engagement transformed a group of strangers into a high-trust leadership body with a unified action plan, establishing a formation process now referenced within the Zone as the benchmark for building effective cross-regional teams.

City of Sydney

For the City of Sydney’s Emerging Civic Leaders—a cohort preparing to step into significant public-facing roles—we designed a development pathway centered on leadership identity and professional confidence.

Using CliftonStrengths and self-leadership frameworks, we equipped these aspiring leaders with the tools to articulate their unique value and apply their strengths strategically. This focus on individual capability created a strong foundation for the next phase of our work: advancing the Social Programs Team. Here, the focus shifted from "leading self" to "leading together," helping experienced professionals master the complex soft skills of cross-functional influence and collaborative decision-making.

By investing in both individual identity and team dynamics, the City isn’t just delivering projects; it is actively building a pipeline of resilient, self-aware leaders ready for the next stage of their careers.

Your Challenges, Our Solutions

We know you need solutions that are credible, customised, and immediately actionable. Our approach is to integrate proven models (like CliftonStrengths) with hands-on facilitation delivered by consultants who have successfully led these initiatives themselves.
