“In her work for us, Toby was highly effective at anticipating and preparing materials to meet First Nations needs and interests, coordinating project team efforts to prepare for several meetings and preparing documentation to summarize outcomes. She built trust with the communities through transparency and consistency and was effective at managing expectations of the project team, ensuring we were able to build on the trust to meet our objectives. Her strengths revolve around empathy and clear communication, balancing being direct and fearless with being compassionate and patient. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for future facilitation and process planning roles.”

“I collaborated with Toby to create a series of roundtable discussions at the end of a government-funded project, with the intention of obtaining feedback from partner organizations and participants and sharing best practices. Toby’s thoughtful approach to defining deliverables, ensuring accessibility and creating safe and supportive spaces for discussion was evident from the start. In addition, Toby’s facilitation skills ensured those participating in the roundtable discussions were engaged and felt their contributions were valued.”
