Community Services

Empowering Community Service Leaders

The community services sector is distinguished by its dedicated professionals who tirelessly give their all. Despite facing constant shifts in funding models and regulatory landscapes, along with rapid organisational growth, this sector continues to show remarkable resilience. However, these changes can lead to burnout, change fatigue, and the premature promotion of skilled workers into leadership roles for which they may not be fully prepared. Moreover, significant workforce shortages underscore the urgent need for strong, effective leadership, and a culture that people want to be a part of.

Recognising these challenges, I am deeply committed to nurturing passionate leaders who are equipped to build and sustain high performing teams. My services are designed to support these leaders through targeted coaching and development programs to build confidence and leadership effectiveness. By investing in your leaders continuously and strategically, you create productive and sustainable workplaces where people are inspired to stay and thrive.

This proactive approach not only mitigates the risks of burnout and change fatigue but also transforms your organisation to have a greater impact in the communities it serves.

Having had over 13 years leading teams in the disability sector supporting teams to be successful, especially during significant change including the transition to the NDIS. Donna understands the challenges of working in systems that are constantly evolving and how to get teams to drive change, remain engaged, and stay well even in imperfect conditions.

I also provides coaching, workshops and leadership circles to the aged care system as they face constant reforms and ongoing staffing shortages. Providing tools and strategies to work smarter not harder, manage stress, and make informed aligned decisions to support the businesses outcomes.
