Client Outcomes
Real Change, In Real Workplaces
These aren’t just kind words.
These are the outcomes of doing the work — fully, respectfully, and without ticking boxes.
From CEOs to frontline staff, from nervous first-timers to experienced Aboriginal leaders — here’s what they had to say after working with Blakworks.
Leadership That Leads Somewhere
Real shifts in staff, systems, and workplace culture — led from the top.
“The way you delivered the history — through your personal lens — gave me the first real understanding I’ve ever had in a training session.
It gave our team a collective understanding of Aboriginal experience — and a shared sense of accountability.
We all walked away knowing that Kamira has to be a safe space for Aboriginal clients and future Aboriginal staff.”
— Cate Hewett, CEO, Kamira
“Our organisation is now much safer culturally for Aboriginal people.
Without reservation, I highly recommend Lindsay Stanford and Blakworks to support your journey toward a culturally safe workplace — for both staff and clients.”
— Colin Henson, People and Culture Manager, Adssi Ltd
“The feedback was overwhelmingly positive — and that shared understanding helped kick-start our Aboriginal employment plans.
Lindsay is an exceptional presenter — engaging, funny, and interactive.”
— Monique Cardon, CEO, Fairhaven
“I learned more in this session than in any other cultural awareness training I’ve ever attended.”
— Jenni Allan, CEO, Adssi Ltd
From Fear to Clarity
What happens when people feel safe enough to really learn.
“I was scared I’d feel blamed. Instead, I felt relief — and my mind opened completely.”
— Kim Fawkes, Ranger, Lake Macquarie City Council
“The session challenged stereotypes and encouraged real questions — in a space that felt safe and respectful.”
— Dr. Rebecca Reeve, PhD Economics
“I had no idea how much I didn’t know — or how much of what I thought I knew was wrong.
Lindsay made it clear and easy to understand, always knowing when to explain more.”
— Peta Pearson, Receptionist, Busways (Aboriginal woman)
Even Mob Learn Something New
When it’s done right, this work goes deeper than expected — even for us.
“Even as an Aboriginal person, I learned an enormous amount.
Lindsay gets you thinking about what really happens if nothing changes.
Ingenious. Love ya work.”
— Bobbi Murray, CLCNSW
“I had no idea how much I didn’t know — or how much of what I thought I knew was wrong.
Lindsay made it clear and easy to understand, always knowing when to explain more.”
— Peta Pearson, Busways
Training That Actually Lands
Honest, engaging, and anything but box-ticking.
“Informative, insightful, funny — and at times so powerful you could hear a pin drop.
One of the most educational, interesting trainings I’ve attended.”
— Shayne Silvers, Coast Shelter
“Engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly clear.” — Michelle, Honeywell
“Humour worked so well — even on the tough topics.” — Anna, Adssi
“What you’ve developed needs to be shared with all Australians.” — Participant, Honeywell
