Meet The Team

Megan is a whirlwind of energy and enthusiasm with nearly 25 year’s experience in facilitation, as well as developing, designing and delivering training programmes. She has worked with people in corporate, government and non-profit organisations all over the world, and her passion is working with people who make a real difference in their communities.

An intense curiosity of how people have ideas and how they take them from idea to action, fuels Megan’s special interest in the fields of creativity, innovation, collaborative teamwork and leadership. She is particularly skilled at facilitating problem solving or planning discussions, and knows how to cut through the ‘yeah buts’ that often stop an organisation from moving forward.

In addition to sailing this ship, Megan volunteers with her local branch of Bellyful New Zealand. This on-the-ground volunteering means she knows first-hand the challenges faced by small organisations.

Gillian’s responsible for all things admin, helping to keep the balls in the air and the wheels in motion. You’ll speak with Gillian when you ring our office and one of the best parts of her role is hearing about the huge impact and positive change you’re making within your community. Gillian’s most recent role with a social enterprise combined her commercial expertise with her passion for helping people with their mental wellbeing and resilience. She was also deputy chair of a community-based organisation supporting people with long-term mental health conditions or disabilities.

Outside of work, Gillian’s two active boys and outdoorsy husband keep her busy and as a family they love heading to the beach and out on the boat whenever they can.

When she became a Mum, she started her own business as a freelance designer, and from there she took on Tonic Magazine. She has enjoyed being Exult’s Graphic Designer for over 60 issues! As a parent, Lisa volunteers with her children’s school, helping to support their annual Mower Day Fundraiser. She also supports her daughters with their charity based endeavours through the school.
