Stories of Impact
We've had the privilege of walking alongside people and organizations doing meaningful work in their communities.
“We didn't just get through a difficult time. With their guidance and encouragement, we grew.”
During a major leadership transition, our team went through a period of uncertainty and self-doubt, with all the pressure that kind of change brings. It was in that vulnerable but deeply honest moment that Phoebe, as our team mentor, showed up with quiet steadiness, helping us find our footing when everything felt unclear. And Judy, as the foundation's outgoing Executive Director, had the generosity and vision to carefully guide every step of the handover, placing trust and responsibility in the team's hands with real grace.
They gave us a space that felt safe and honest, where we could be open about our struggles, support each other, and remember what we're capable of as a team. We didn't just get through a difficult time. With their guidance and encouragement, we grew. We learnt to step into the future with more confidence, more unity and more resilience than before.
“Judy's ability to balance the strategic, operational and relational elements of the process made her a real asset to the meeting.”
Judy did a fantastic job facilitating Prospera’s Asia & Pacific Chapter Meeting in 2025. She quickly understood the political and organisational context of the meeting, and moved the work forward while requiring minimal direction.
She was not only excellent in facilitating the convening itself, but also very organised and proactive with follow-up, and ensuring continuity after the meeting. Her ability to balance the strategic, operational and relational elements of the process made her a real asset to the meeting.
It was genuinely a pleasure working with Judy, and I would highly recommend her to organisations looking for someone who can facilitate complex processes with professionalism, and care.
“Accompanied me through a rupture point in my life”
Phoebe accompanied me through a rupture point in my life. She never gave me the answers outright, but instead walked beside me as I explored my challenges and uncovered my own clarity. With her guidance, I learned to cut through the noise, rediscover the beauty in life, and eventually chart a new path forward.
“The impact was not only felt immediately, I could also slowly sink in and organize my thoughts”
When we sought Judy for help, we only felt the need for some guidance, but without knowing specifically what we needed. Judy quickly caught up with our team’s complex situations, then started tackling a different issue we faced in each supervision session. The impact was not only felt immediately, I could also slowly sink in and organize my thoughts through preparing the questions Judy gave us ahead of the next session.
“Rather than coming in with a fixed formula, Judy and Phoebe took the time to understand who we are and what would actually make sense for our organisation.”
Over the past year, we were at a point where it felt important to step back and do some deeper strategic thinking. We wanted to look beyond immediate priorities and ask some bigger questions about who we are as an organisation, what we need and how we want to move forward. That was what led us to Crateva.
What came out of it was more than a strategic plan. The process itself helped strengthen relationships across the organisation and build confidence within the team. It also gave us a stronger basis for thinking about the next phase of our work. Because the process was collaborative, there was more shared understanding of where we were heading and what it would take to get there.
“Guided me toward becoming a more positive mountain explorer.”
I am deeply grateful to have Phoebe as my coach and guide during this important career transition period. She has an exceptional ability to see my blind spots and to thoughtfully shape both the focus and methods of our coaching around what I truly needed at the time.
Through our sessions, I gradually developed greater awareness of my insecurities and my tendency to be overly self-critical when mistakes occurred. I especially appreciated Phoebe’s use of the ‘monarch butterfly’ metaphor to describe this state, and how she guided me toward becoming a more ‘positive mountain explorer.’ This shift was reflected in the practical exercises we worked on together, which helped me build self-compassion and approach challenges with more confidence and curiosity.
I am sincerely thankful for Phoebe’s support, insight, and encouragement throughout my self-growth and development journey.
“Magical journey to learn about myself”
It’s such a magical journey to learn about myself, in the company of an amazing friend. Phoebe created a safe and encouraging space for me to face a side of me that I never looked at properly before. I can understand myself better, I can sit face-to-face with myself, whether it’s the current me and the me I wanna be. It’s not about choosing one over the other, but acknowledging and being grateful to the current me, making peace with both and let them thrive.
