Social WorkerHeather is a fantastic supervisor. During our supervision she enabled me to reflect deeply on my practice as a social worker. She was able to gently but effectively challenge my assumptions and bring these to the foreground of our discussion. She helped me to take these ideas and transform them into practical steps I could take to improve the ways I work with clients. Her supervision immensely helped me improve as a practitioner. I would highly recommend Heather for supervision.

Rhys PeacockI have been a continual attendee to Heather Ellis' "Building Rural Leaders" Leading in the Central West Program for over three years now. Prior to attending I was somewhat opposed to the idea of the seminar's content, however was extremely shocked and found it exceptionally compelling, enough so to attend the full three days each and every year. Each seminar is extremely mentally stimulating and Heather keeps it interactive to ensure that attendees are not getting bored. Everyone, especially those in the Rural Industry will benefit from Heather and her leadership content.

to change the most following the program. Finally, that my unique take on the world can make a
positive contribution to future planning.
