Who we are
foxtrot & echo
I’m Emily. I’ve been a facilitator and community engagement practitioner for almost 20 years. I deliver deliberative and community engagement that is clear, easy and enjoyable to get involved in and that produces tangible results for your decision-makers to use. I facilitate internal and community-facing meetings, workshops and training sessions.
I’ve worn the hats and walked in the shoes.
I’ve been the client, the consultant and the participant in deliberative and community engagement. I understand the internal challenges, the questions to ask and the information required and desired. I also know when to simplify the language, how to attract participation and how to analyse the results.
I’d love to have a chat about how I can help you with your project.
“Emily was extremely knowledgeable in the community engagement process...a tailored approach and with additional options to suit our diverse stakeholders and Plan’s vision. The process would not have been as smooth as it was without her!”
“Emily and Jacinta created an inclusive environment where all voices were heard, fostering a sense of collaboration and mutual respect among participants. Their ability to engage effectively with our subject matter experts added significant value to the discussions, bridging the gap between technical knowledge and community input. ”
“Thanks for all your help. You were really easy to work with.”
“I found both of you to be very quick in responding and understanding the situation. I appreciated that while it didn’t follow the ‘norm’ of engagement that both of you worked to what we needed to deliver. [Would I recommend you to others?] - Yes, absolutely”
