"Absolutely transformed our charity"
“If you are on a journey to transform your charity or your business, then I would highly recommend Clear Thinking Consultancy. They have absolutely transformed our charity into a sustainable organisation.”
"A broad and detailed understanding of the community sector"
“I have commissioned a number of consultants over the years and Kita does stand out as someone who cares deeply about the work she does and who has a broad and detailed understanding of the community sector and working with children benefitting from those organisations.”
"Highly skilled"
“Highly skilled in the field of organisational transformation projects and organisational behaviours.”
"Assured style, knowledge and critical view"
“Kita and colleagues came to work with us at St Michael’s Youth Project. Her assured style, knowledge and critical view helped us to sharpen our thinking, focus and renewed our energies for the challenges ahead. I fully endorse her work and organisation, and would have no hesitation in engaging them again.”
"Clear Thinking changed the trajectory of our organisation"
“Clear Thinking changed the trajectory of our organisation after our first audit. As a newly formed community group with a lot of individual expertise and passion but not much business expertise, we were keen to get an understanding of our ‘blind spots’ so we could put in pace a plan for organisational development that would serve our community for a sustained period of time. The audit was the starting point for our journey towards real growth, financial security and business development.”
"She took the time to really understand our needs"
“Kita manages to combine warmth and empathy with a diligent, precise and professional approach to her work. She took the time to really understand our needs and the outcome was that her work was consistently high quality and incredibly beneficial to us and our members.”
