Supporting mission-driven leaders, teams and organisations to align purpose with practice, make clear decisions and achieve meaningful outcomes.

Insight to
Impact

Staying true to mission is not always straightforward.

In an environment of competing demands, limited resources and constant change, leaders must make difficult choices while remaining accountable to the people, communities and purposes they serve.

Stillpoint provides the space, insight and practical support to do that well. Through coaching, facilitation, evaluation and strategic review, I help leaders and organisations bring empathy and evidence together—clarifying what matters, strengthening alignment and translating purpose into effective action.

Keep your mission at the core.

I understand the pressures: competing priorities, limited time and diverse stakeholder expectations.  Often, what is needed isn't more information but time for sense-making aligned to purpose.  I offer an integrated suite of services for:

Individuals: coaching and mentoring for clarity

Groups: facilitation for shared understanding and decisions

Organisations: strategic reviews and mission alignment to ensure purpose is aligned with practice.

Marissa Carlyon | Executive Leader,  Change Maker, Human Rights

"Linda has led two social evaluation activities within projects I have been part of. Linda has a depth of experience and skill in social research that is hard to match. Linda seeks to deeply capture and articulate the experience of project participants. An exceptional listener, facilitator and analyst, Linda was able to work with the project team to adjust methods, tools and all elements of the evaluation to be accessible to people with disability and complex communication access needs. I would recommend Linda to anyone seeking to measure impact relating to people. It has been a joy to work alongside Linda."

Sally Castle | CEO, The Liver Foundation

"I engaged Linda to work with me to refine the strategy for the Liver Foundation at a key point in our growth. Linda did a brilliant job of helping my clarify my goals, articulate the key steps to get to them, as well as the resources and relationships we require. Importantly, she also helped me map what we have already achieved and articulate our 'why' and our theory of change. Linda is a trusted advisor. Her skill, calm and insight were invaluable. She is a delight to work with."

Leanne Pearman | CEO, Western Australia's Individualuised Services

"I highly recommend Linda without reservation. We were so pleased, and relieved to have connected with an extremely competent researcher and evaluator, who also has significant experience and knowledge of the human services sector. We valued Linda's highly individualised and tailored approach, and her willingness to deeply understand who we were as an organisation, the importance of our work, and therefore, the importance of the evaluation. Linda was collaborative, clear, reliable and her work consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of quality. I would absolutely engage Linda for any work we may have in the future."

Alan Stuart-Grant | Director, Intergeneration

"Linda helped my fellow directros and I to develop a strategy for our nascent NFP. Linda did an excellent job for us in a compressed timeframe, predominantly in a virtual setting. She managed the strategy development process in a highly efficient fashion and quickly helped us get to the heart of the issues. Her demeanour worked very well and I believe will help others toward success. It helped that she is also SME in our sub-industry as she was able to come up the curve very quickly. I would highly recommend!"

Johana Susanto, Executive Manager – Research, Centre for Mission Impact, The Salvation Army

 

 

"I have had the pleasure of working with Linda across several projects over the years and have consistently valued her expertise and partnership. She has a strong understanding of the not-for-profit, community and social service sectors, and are quick to grasp the unique context, challenges and goals of our organisation.

She is easy to work with, highly responsive, and skilled at facilitating difficult conversations in a constructive way that leads to practical, tailored solutions. She is also able to gather the right consultants/subject matter experts to support the projects. Her flexibility in adapting to changing project requirements and stakeholder feedback has been invaluable, and the team she led consistently deliver high-quality work on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Linda and Stillpoint to organisations seeking a trusted and capable partner in research and evaluation.

Jonathon Hagger, CEO of Pou Whakaaro

 

 

"My organisation benefitted in so many ways through having Linda's facilitation skills in place guiding and supporting our strategic planning project. Linda's warm personality and ability to be fluid throughout the process accelerated the successful outcomes achieved. The impact of Linda's input is much greater than the project itself - there has also been substantial personal, professional and organisational progress along the way."
