Testimonials & Gallery
We have had the privilege of working with some incredible facilitators, educators, trainers and teams across Australia, New Zealand and Myanmar.
Here’s what they have to say:
-
“I attended a Youth Communication workshop and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. The way the workshop was structured and delivered was absolutely brilliant! There were so many little tools we can put into practice, alongside deep theory, that I will definitely use as a framework for planning our youth volunteer programs next year. The day was engaging, informative and expertly delivered.”
Naomi, City of Ballarat Council
-
“Thank you again for the incredible two days of learning last week. It was energising, inspiring, and left us buzzing with ideas. The work you are doing resonates so deeply with what we hold close at A Little Messy, empowering young people to know their worth, use their voices, and lead with curiosity, courage, truth and authenticity.”
Danae, A Little Messy Productions
-
“The voice training and hearing where Skye and Amanda have struggled. It’s so refreshing to hear that you guys weren’t perfect, though you are now someone I look up to in the facilitation space.”
Ash, LifeChanger Foundation
-
“I loved the balance between play & challenge. Most beneficial were the clear and concise frameworks delivered by Skye and Amanda - These helped set the foundations for our whole team. I am so glad we decided to do this at the beginning of the year, which we will only be able to build upon to have more impact on the teens we serve.”
Maeve, The Flourish Journey CEO
-
“You were the most engaging, invested and personable people to be trained by. I am absolutely touched and grateful to have spent two days with you and your team, and thank you for your pearls of wisdom!”
Liam, The Stand Up Project
-
“There was so much to take away from just this one session. I understand the importance of grounding my body to ground my mind, utilising re-engagement strategies to save my voice and being mindful of my word economy. It was also a good reminder that storytelling doesn’t always have to be serious; stories can be to build connection and rapport. I can’t wait to tap into that more and get playful with my facilitation”
Jack, Mindful Aus

"The facilitators were the best part. They were inspiring and engaging, and not only have I learnt so much from them, but so has an entire community of professionals and young people working together in collaboration. They truly cured my burnout. I can't wait to work with them again. "
Rachel, Beyond the Bell
-
“Watching both of you in action was an absolute joy, and something that both myself and our entire team took so much away from. I have absolutely no doubt that we have all benefited immensely from this training, and I can't wait to continue to grow our relationship with you both and work together for many years to come!”
Sam, LifeChanger Foundation
-
“I so loved this workshop. The work you are doing. The reason you are doing it. This is purpose, greater good, empowering, transformative stuff! Kudos! I wish you great success in sharing and hope all who attend hear, resonate, and walk away with a greater awareness and understanding of our upcoming generations. Powerful stuff!!”

“The way you both facilitate is an incredible model of excellent facilitation - seeing the theory in action all day long, practising what you preach, had equal amounts of impact on me as any of the specific content pieces. I also thoroughly enjoyed the chance to workshop pieces of content and receive feedback on them - because it's vital to embodying the knowledge and also having aspects of our practice reflected back that we're unaware of. Storytelling was a highlight, as was the "riding the crest of the wave" - both because they were heavily embedded with examples of how this would/could look in our facilitation (and we got the chance to practice them).”
Elise, School Workshop Facilitator
-
“The Engagement Continuum- it made so much sense and really hit home the three areas we are setting out to serve young people through as facilitators. Facilitation Engagement Packages - such a clear breakdown of when and how to use these different methods, was so helpful in helping us to be more informed and intentional facilitators. I feel like I have walked away with a huge facilitation toolbox, a sense of inspiration, and a newfound sense of accountability in doing the things I need to in order to show up as the best version of myself for each workshop, e.g. vocal warm-ups, grounding etc.”
Layla, School Program Facilitator
-
“Collaborating with Amanda and Skye has been an immensely transformative journey, where I acquired the skills to effectively engage my audience. With their unwavering support, I now approach keynotes, workshops, and everyday conversations with newfound confidence. Working with them has catapulted my career, enhanced my credibility, and strengthened my personal brand. I am eagerly looking forward to continuing this fruitful partnership.”
Wil, Youth Leadership Academy Australia CEO
-
“Skye and Amanda provide a safe and inviting environment to share, open up, and explore new facilitating ideas. I felt really comfortable playing around with ideas and stepping out of my comfort zone. Even after the workshop, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. Their energy is infectious. I couldn’t recommend it more!!!”
Alex, LifeChanger Foundation

"Loved the workshop. Truly my favourite series of workshops I’ve ever done - I took a lot from them. Thank you!"
Emma, Youth Officer, Greater Dandenong Council
-
“This is really helped me reflect on how I can be authentic while also having the tools to reach people safely and with clarity. Thank you so much, this was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfect, I especially loved learning how to better connect with an audience and speak with purpose and clarity.”
Kate, Public Speaking Workshop Participant

“So encouraging, an area where it is often hard to gain insight is how to manage gen z in the workplace and bridge the gen gap. The practical application of the content was elevated through your stories and experiences. I am excited to try some of these techniques and strategies with the gen z I work with. Thank you again.”
Gerard, Youth Communication & Understanding Gen Z Workshop Participant
