Praise
Here is the praise I've recevied for my work in the words of those I've worked with
-
"Becky created a detailed, robust, thoughtful, and deeply collaboratively-informed process for us. She is extremely creative in how she thinks through things. She
doesn't get stuck in a way of thinking or discouraged when we disagreed about how we might approach something. Rather we would always talk, listen, ask questions of each other, and we would find a path forward that we would not have even realised was there were it not for Becky. The process she developed for our revisions was exactly what we needed to be doing.Becky's facilitation in-person over two days with us was second to none. She brings a balance to facilitation that I have simply not experienced before. She has an incredible sense of a room at the moment. She knows when to push and when to hold, when to challenge and when to rest. She knows when a group needs more time to discuss an issue, and when that group is really circling their answer. I'm not sure how she manages it, but she makes a space and the people in it feel more trusting, more honest. And that makes hard conversation a lot easier.
If you need a facilitator, I hope Becky is available for you. If she is, hire her!"

“Rebekah has been fundamental to the development and progress of our group. She has a strong understanding of systemic injustice, but brings so much joy, laughter and playfulness to the movement. We are truly grateful for her vision, collaborative spirit and overall commitment towards empowering those at the sharpest end of the housing crisis to lead change. [...] Her heightened awareness of personal boundaries, power dynamics and anti-oppressive practice has been fundamental to the development of Haringey LRU and my own learning as an organiser.”

“One of the best facilitated events I have had the privilege of experiencing, thank you for holding that space with power, love, care and grace.”-
“REALLY REALLY COOL! I really enjoyed the style of facilitation, practical tools given and diversity of activities, particularly the theatre activities.”
-
“AMAZING AND INSPIRING FACILITATION!!! As well as really valuable content that really made me think deeply about how and why I was organising. This was my highlight of the weekend!”
-
“You have a lot of ooomph. That energises the people with whom you come in contact - or at least it did me. You are fun to work with, responsive, full of ideas.”
-
“Your theoretical knowledge of the movement. Your ability to put what we are doing in the context of 'movement theory' etc. Your energy and curiosity were really admirable.”
-
“Becky has taught us so much and her impact on what we do has been long lasting. Becky is a great catalyst for change - she has brought groups together countless times and started projects or conversations that can be difficult. Becky runs meetings and workshops in a way that allows people to express their emotions on sometimes difficult topics but that gets us to an outcome where we are moving forward. Becky is an incredible listener and can connect with a huge range of people. She is passionate and caring for the community around her. Working with her is so much fun! She brings joy and laughter to anything she's involved with!”-
"It was really great to have Becky facilitate a community organising workshop as part of our youth training weekend! She really adapted how she ran the workshop to the needs of the group, and brought a lot of fun and creativity to the training! She used a balance of different methodologies, including a body based theatre exercise, which helped people engage in the ideas in not just intellectual ways! Becky is able to hold space with so much love and clarity - creating an atmosphere where people feel brave enough to challenge their ideas and try new things."
-
"The preparatory and workshop design work you carried out was very comprehensive and well thought out. You strived to make the co-production meeting as accessible as possible and cover lots of different areas we were hoping to improve. We had a much shorter time slot than your previous work and you did really well to condense a large agenda into a short time."
