Testimonials
Here are some lovely things clients, colleagues and collaborators have said about working with me.
Kim Arnold
“I’ve learnt so much from Ettie about inclusive communication – specifically what’s just lip service and what drives real change.
I love her simple and actionable tips I can put into practice straight away - tips that make an instant difference to the people around me.
Her witty, insightful delivery is the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down.”

“Ettie gave a talk to the Co-op content design community of practice and she was incredible. A great speaker with a well thought through presentation. She also has great examples up her sleeve and answers questions in such a clear way. This was one of our highest attended sessions and created a lively discussion afterwards. I've had several messages from people asking me to get Ettie back again.
I would recommend her to any organisation that wants to learn more about inclusive language”

Jesse Woodman
”Working with Ettie was a pleasure. Her curiosity and collaborative approach gave me confidence that we’d selected the right guest speaker for our event. Ettie’s session on the Joy of Inclusive Conversations was a fantastic entry point into inclusive language. Practical, poignant, and motivational describe the session well. Attendees couldn't stop talking about how thought-provoking yet simple Ettie’s advice was. Her session took the fear out of trying to be more inclusive and has sparked meaningful conversation.
I highly recommend working with Ettie if you want to challenge the misconception that inclusive language is intimidating or complicated.”

Nick Basannavar
”Ettie ran a session with the whole Included team. She prepared meticulously, consulting us on what kinds of topics we would like to see covered and what kinds of contexts we operated in. As a result of this, the session felt very tailored to us and immediately applicable. Ettie certainly knew her audience and pitched the session perfectly.
Her facilitation style was inclusive, engaging and compelling. She brought the team with her and left us energised and eager to apply what we had learned.
We would certainly like to partner with Ettie again in the future and would recommend any organisation thinking about inclusive communications to get in touch with her!”

”I’ve had so many people stop me in the hall and message me about how amazing you were. Everyone found it so insightful and useful. On a personal note, I’m equally thankful for how curious and collaborative you’ve been with us as you prepped for this session.”

”Your style and energy were contagious. Your content was engaging. Your openness was fabulous.”

Jemma Bicknell
”Ettie is an excellent trainer, who makes light work of tackling complex subjects – in fact, she makes it a thoroughly enjoyable experience!
At the training session she skilfully managed to strike the perfect balance between challenging us and holding a safe space. She used brilliant interactive exercises which then prompted rich discussions; during which she managed to ensure everyone was involved without it ever feeling forced.
This was a day-long training session and it felt like just a few hours because it was so engaging and inspiring. I think everyone should take this training - it's essential for the voluntary sector but also the wider community.”
