Ideas in Motion
Podcast conversations, published writing, thought bubbles and resources — all in one place.
Becky sits down with three practitioners pushing the boundaries of what community engagement can be.
The Journey
Becky begins her career in community development in the United Kingdom, working directly with marginalised communities in public consultation processes.
Relocates to Australia, bringing a fresh perspective to community engagement across government and not-for-profit sectors. Begins building a national reputation.
Publishes her first major work on participatory practice. Takes to the conference stage as a keynote speaker, challenging orthodoxies in the sector.
Joins the boards of leading industry organisations. Uses governance influence to reshape how community engagement is valued and practiced at sector level.
Launches HeyEngage — an education ecosystem dedicated to building community engagement capability in organisations across Australia and beyond.
A podcast, a global community, ongoing advocacy, and consulting work that touches hundreds of organisations. The mission: unchanged. The scale: growing.
Belonging
Becky is building more than a practice — she's building a global community of practitioners, leaders, and changemakers committed to honest engagement.
