Testimonials

“Michelle is both a clear headed realist and a visionary dreamer. She enables groups to pragmatically “shoot for the stars”. She truly facilitates and serves the various stakeholders, seeking to land their aspirations and not her’s. She creates a safe environment and tests the people and ideas thoroughly within that safe and respectful space.”

“You were such an amazing support during some really challenging times at ACR and your partnership expertise was so instrumental in helping us find better ways to work together. Our governance structure has really helped us build equity, accountability, and better collaboration across the partnership. Thank you!!”

Deborah Backus, Project DirectorAll Children Reading: A Grand Challenge for Development.

“Michelle used her deep technical knowledge and her outstanding people skills to help a group of experienced leaders move past same-ol’-same-ol’ responses to leadership challenges….Michelle is not just good at what she does, she brings a deep commitment to facilitating collaboration so her gentle and firm facilitation invites everyone to better ways of thinking and working together.”

Col Duthie, Executive ChairDonkeyWheel Foundation

“When I met Michelle Halse, I immediately saw the synergies and deeply complementary experience, approach, and skills between Living Collaborations and Moonshot Global. Together we built a partnership that was founded on trust and mutuality, innovation, co-creation and adventure and continues to thrive. We share risks and rewards, of which there have been many for both of us and our organizations. The foundation of our work together was developed serving as MEL Partner on DFAT’s Scaling Frontier Innovation program, supporting entrepreneurs and intermediaries across Asia Pacific to collaborate, learn and deepen their development impact. The shared value continues on a range of joint work on other innovation-led global development projects around the world.”

Courtney Roberts, Managing DirectorMoonshot Global LLC

“Michelle and I are both Non-Executive Directors on One Girl’s Board. Michelle has dedicated many years to One Girl’s governance, and has had a profound and positive impact on it’s people and programs. As a relative newcomer to One Girl, I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to work closely with, and learn from Michelle. During a time of strategic questioning and change, to put it simply – Michelle has just been so valuable, bringing the analysis and insights and pragmatism – that magic sauce – that only comes from decades of experience. Michelle’s direction is always spot on, and so gently and expertly done. I’m looking forward to even more collaboration.”
