Working with Lily on devising a team-alignment and visioning workshop for our team was an absolute pleasure.
She really took the time to get to the heart of the questions we were seeking to answer, doing careful research and interviews with each of us. She then devised fun, interactive workshops with thoughtful exercises that got an enormous amount done in a very short space of time.
All in all, the workshops have left us with a new team cohesion, energy and clarity of purpose.

Lily as your facilitation / employee engagement / innovation strategy / experience design partner
Big change doesn't happen alone. That's why I partner with other change experts on exciting projects that need more sets of hands. I especially love helping thought-leaders bring their world-changing ideas to life in the form of organisational learning experiences.
-
I can be hired hourly, daily, project-based, or on retainer for longer term support
-
I bring an an unusual amount of curiosity, creativity, and a fresh perspective (6+ years of entrepreneurship, 6 years of art & design education) to every project
-
I get a lot of energy from collaborating with people with adjacent specialisations. eg: org psychology, change management, HR, sustainability, business strategy, regenerative leadership, wellbeing, etc.
Curious if we're a match? Let's have a coffee! (Zoom or IRL in NL)
Lily is a brilliantly creative, utterly inspiring, and very thought-provoking partner. She was recently named by LxD Lab as one of the top women actively shaping the world of learning experience design.
She is insanely brilliant at digging deep in a way I've not seen of
others and as an outsider of HR herself, she is able to (and does!) question things that may otherwise fly under the radar.
I couldn't recommend her more highly.
ALICE DARBYSHIRE
Human-centered leadership consultant | ex-Senior HR partner | Advocate for working parents
Lily and Alice have partnered on change-projects since 2022.
Lily is an awesome facilitator/consultant/partner in crime.
We started Lily out leading regional and global events for our client that were vision, mission, and happiness based and those led to a series of innovation design thinking projects.
Her work was well received, had high participation, and we added additional sessions due to the positive feedback.
I would also say Lily is very thoughtful and very easy to work with.
-
She is at her heart a designer of both physical, emotional, and virtual experiences
-
She has an extremely high EQ
-
She is not just a creative, but can also build a structured deck (for us it was a repeatable playbook and readout deck of outcomes from her work)
-
In her LinkedIn, she describes herself as your workshop wingwoman, but I would say she easily takes the lead (but context and clear direction is important to her), and I became her wingwoman
-
And lastly, she proactively has retrospectives: what went well, what could have gone better, what we want to change
Due to her work, Lily will be launching a formal innovation program at our client which includes a monthly series where we are sharing innovations for problems that seemed unsolvable to inspire and help generate discussions, ideas, and solutions for those challenges. This is part of a greater business transformation that will be integral to drive consistency across communications, change management, and innovation.

THE BEST PART? YOU CAN BOOK IT RIGHT WHEN YOU NEED IT!
Lily's 90-minute strategy sessions are SO GOOD! I keep coming back to her because, honestly, these sessions save me so much time in the long run. I appreciate her calm and thoughtful energy, and she has a knack for asking the right questions to sharpen my thinking.
Every time we collaborate, I walk away with actionable tips that level up my workshops. Lily has lots of creative ideas, helping me to take my ideas from half-baked to session-ready. I also love that she reigns me in, and reminds me that the best workshops are the most simple.
If you're looking to refresh your workshops or need a creative boost, Lily comes highly recommended.

I’ve experienced Lily's facilitation both as a workshop participant and as a co-facilitator.
And she is nothing short of outstanding!
She brings to the table deep passion and massive creativity, both for the participants and for the craft of the experience itself. Her impressive toolbox of exercises stretches from design and play to connection and theatre - and wow (!) does she know how to use it all to build meaningful interactions for the group.
Lily is attentive and observant, yet she never hesitates to clarify, frame and guide the participants and adjust to the needs of the room. Her communication and breath of ideas is also what makes it so fun to co-create and deliver workshops with her. She is sharp, witty and knowledgeable and you can just rest comfortably knowing that, with Lily whatever you do will be amazing - an exciting experience, with clear intention, with the best of quality.
Don’t think twice!! Grab your opportunity to work with her.
