Working with Kim on Strategic Planning was a valuable experience. We did more in a couple of hours online with Kim than we had in a few months with the group, even when we had a facilitator in the room. Thank you.

Georgia Anderson

Local Landcare Coordinator
Western Landcare NSW

 I am a Local Landcare Coordinator for Western Landcare NSW and have had the privilege of attending multiple Community Leaders Academy live sessions. As a coordinator my role is extremely varied and sometimes challenging to stay at the forefront of all the different skills required in the role. The live sessions provided by the Community Leaders Academy were extremely helpful to learn or refresh skills in sometimes overlooked areas, such as the ‘Activate your community with Social Media’ workshop. The sessions are relevant and interactive which enable a dialogue to open between both the host and participants which is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to share their knowledge. It is a great support system for all those working in the not-for-profit and volunteer sectors. I would highly recommend to all and hope to be able to continue participating with this organisation in the future.

Jacqueline Salter 

Climate Change Education Officer, Mornington Penninsula Shire Council 

The Mornington Peninsula Shire were so pleased with the workshop Kimberley ran for our  on Building and Sustaining a Vibrant Committee" The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. We would definitely recommend Kimberley as an engaging and innovative Facilitator who really does her homework before workshops in order to present a workshop tailored especially to the audience.

Sue McIvor

CEO, FERNLEA HOUSE

We engaged Kim Boswell to build our Volunteer Training Portal, a big undertaking, but a critical piece aimed at providing greater support for volunteers, improving the volunteer experience, and ultimately, increasing volunteer numbers. Even before the project started, Kim immersed herself in our organisation, to make sure she had a clear understating of our needs, our 'voice' and our volunteers. Her professional yet friendly approach, as well as her deep understanding of the volunteer experience and the NFP sector ensured she not only understood context but she was also able to relate to and build rapport with everyone she worked with. The end result is a product that not only meets all our original aims and will be genuinely useful, but will also add value to our organisation. If you are looking for someone to develop or review your training processes with an online portal, and who delivers high quality work, I highly recommend Kim.

Adrian Brown

Kim has an effective and outcomes-based approach to training, development and capacity building with both individuals and teams. The resources and capability frameworks that she creates are world-class and transformational. Kim is driven by finding people's best within them and giving them the courage and tools to bring their own strengths to life.

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. I enjoy Kim’s humour and down-to-earth nature. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her company to anyone looking for these services”

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.

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.

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

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.

The benefit of Community Leaders Academy is the connection to others in similar groups. With the webinar on social media, I was able to implement regular analysis of Fb statistics. Community Leaders Academy is a good avenue to share and receive information.

Mike McTernan

Chief Executive Officer at Boys & Girls Clubs of South Africa

While the rest of the world was ringing the death knell of Face to Face, Kim was in the field as a core member of the very first global Face to Face fundraiser team, making things happen.

She excelled in all elements required in this global role. Excellent one on one training and talent development plans - check. Preparing and managing global skill-shares with cutting edge content for over 30 markets - check. Delivering plenaries and workshops that made people not only think, but also act - check. The list of her talents could go on and on.

Ultimately, Kim is the real deal and offers the full package as a fundraiser. If you have a chance to hire or work with her, don't miss it!

President at Progressive Power Lab | CEO at Progressive Multiplier

Nothing great happens without great teams. Greenpeace USA doubling in size, building a face-to-face fundraising program that set the standard in the U.S., and generating $23m per year in monthly donors could not have happened without a key member of that team: Kimberley Boswell.

Kim brought deep knowledge, stunning emotional intelligence, a broad perspective from a breadth of experience, and a vision that inspired everyone around her. She came to the U.S. both to manage our important market (New York) and to join the core team that co-created one of the best small-donor acquisition programs in the U.S.

Kim understands how to get to scale and how to support, coach, and inspire each person one-on-one. She understands the nuts and bolts operations of fundraising and how to reach peoples' hearts. She brings a unique combination of hard work, passion, humility, love for the people she works with, a well as an unquestioned passion for what she works for.

Working with Kim will stretch you, challenge you, and help you achieve more. If you want your organization to truly meet its mission, you want Kim on your team.

Erin Brinkley

Local Landcare Coordinator 

UPPER SHOALHAVEN LANDCARE COUNCIL

Kim was able to expertly guide our committee to draft a new strategic plan in only a couple of hours. The service was brilliantly delivered, fun and easily accessible for everyone online.

The material Kim offers is personable, professional and practical. She understands how small, not for profit organisations operate and offers highly valuable advice on ways to improve our business locally.
The lunchtime information sessions have given me some terrific tips on how to improve our social media and marketing.

If your not for profit need help navigating the world of marketing, strategic planning and grant writing, I'd thoroughly recommend these sessions offered by Kim.

Nicole Walsh

Landcare Facilitator, Western Port Catchment Landcare Network

Kim was a really engaging presenter who uses real-life examples and offers great insights into how to source volunteers, what motivates them, and how to keep them.
