You're a passionate leader, you shouldn't have to struggle to get the support you need.
Not enough time, funding is scarce, hands-on support is hard to find (volunteers or paid), and endless red tape and admin can make you feel like you're ready to throw in the towel. The problems feel so big, and progress feels small.
It can be isolating and frustrating without the proper support.
You want the right skills, tools, strategy and community support at your fingertips to get back your time and help you achieve your goals without the overwhelm or burnout.
The Forever Agenda wants that for you too.

The state strategic planning sessions were extremely well received and filled a real gap in what we are delivering in NSW. We’ve also been able to give our coordinators access to an amazing online facility in Community Leaders Academy. I enjoy Kim’s humour and down-to-earth nature. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her company to anyone looking for these services”

The Forever Agenda live webinar on Succession Planning was such a great webinar and we got a lot of really positive feedback on it from our community.
If you are looking for support for community Landcare, I can't recommend Kimberley Boswell highly enough. She is an excellent facilitator and has a very sound understanding of the community and not for profit sector.
Linda Cavanagh
South East NSW Regional Landcare Coordinator
Working to develop our strategic plan with Kimberley Boswell was an absolute pleasure. Kim supported our team throughout the process & asked very pertinent questions which helped us articulate our vision, mission and goals.
Kim understands Landcare & it was a pleasure to work with her. She gave us good direction, without compromising our identity; we retained and generated ownership and uniqueness of our strategic plan.
The Forever Agenda sessions have been very valuable & professional & having access to the support and resources made the process punchy and rewarding. Thank-you. Five stars

Yarra Ranges Kindergartens Inc commissioned Kim Boswell of Forever Agenda to conduct a strategy workshop for the leadership team.
The sessions were well conducted and provided an interactive and conducive platform, encouraging the participants to engage in a lively debate. The style and professional approach of Kim and using relevant tools and techniques enabled the team to come up with constructive and innovative ideas resulting in a succinct and workable document.
Trish O’Gorman
Growth Manager
Landcare Australia
Kim was a joy to work with on a live online session to help Landcare organizations learn more about recruiting and engaging volunteers. The content she created really resonated with the audience, and we received lots of very positive feedback from attendees about how beneficial the session was. I hope to get the opportunity to work with Kim again.
Andrew Maclean
CEO
Landcare Victoria Inc.
Kim did a good job in establishing the Landcare Professional's Knowledge and Skills Framework and has a deep knowledge of community Landcare and its needs and processes. We valued Kim’s responsiveness and flexibility and the extent to which she 'owned' the process of delivering a result. Priorities are eloquently outlined in the knowledge and skills framework. Kim completed good quality work on time for a reasonable cost and knows her stuff. I would be pleased to recommend Kim.

STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSIONS
Done for you or self-paced
Organisations with big goals will often struggle to map out the process from where they are now to the big bold vision that creates change and a better planet. Without a clear strategy in place, there is a lack of cohesion in committees or boards, and even though you may have sporadic periods of forward movement, it takes many wasted volunteer hours to make any ground. It's tiresome and hard to get forward momentum.
I’m here to help you leverage volunteer hours, honouring their service and make progress faster and with more clarity than ever before.
YES. I NEED THIS ➡
