Testimonials for Nicolette Beard

Kate and Nicolette recently joined us at the WA Governance and Risk Management Forum, bringing a valuable perspective on how psychosocial safety can help create workplaces that are more innovative, resilient and adaptable. They shared practical insights on what it means to embed consultative and supportive leadership at every level, and how giving people a voice can strengthen engagement and organisational performance. The discussion also explored what positive team culture looks like in practice, as well as the warning signs of toxic behaviours that can undermine trust, wellbeing and workplace outcomes. Their expertise in this area not only provided thought-provoking perspectives but also created an environment where attendees felt comfortable asking important questions and sharing their own experiences. It was refreshing to have such an open, honest and engaging discussion on a topic that is increasingly important for governance professionals.

Nicolette made a positive contribution to our students’ understanding of these topics, while ensuring they felt heard, respected and comfortable throughout the session.
The Studio School

I cannot recommend We Are Consulting highly enough. The training was fun, engaging, and deeply impactful. Our staff said it was the first time anyone had spoken about consent, boundaries, and culture in a way that felt real and non-judgemental. This work has genuinely shifted the way our sites operate. What sets Nicolette and Kate apart is their ability to blend evidence, trauma-informed practice, and deeply human facilitation. Our crew felt safe, heard, and empowered.
