Activation Coaching with Kit Hindin

Of all the professionals I have worked with I consider Kit one of the very best for creative, design and strategic foresight. I’ve been working with Kit for more than 10 years. We’ve had a number of tasks over the years that required a focus on detail and the ‘big picture’. Kit’s communication skills mean that we nail the task in half the time. Professionalism, honesty and integrity wrapped up with a great sense of humour.

Working with Kit on our Futures review was an absolute pleasure. The professionalism, knowledge, and calm approach before, during and after the workshop was very much appreciated. Kit's ability to facilitate many different views, thoughts, and inputs on the day to clarify the way forward was amazing. They supported us through a process that allowed us really to think outside the box, ask the hard questions, be open to new ideas and different scenarios re what our future could look like. We had the full report back within days, which was impressive and are now able to move forward confidently to make plans for our future success. We enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend Kit to anyone thinking about how to meet future challenges, fully informed with the right plans for success.

I worked with Kit over a number of years. Kit is a wonderful, thoughtful , deep thinking and empathetic facilitator who has a real commitment to people and to helping them to be their best. Kit is a rare human who can both look after the details and the people. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Kit has major expertise in designing and facilitating workshops and delivering high quality events. They are one of Aotearoa New Zealand's emerging leaders in the futures and foresight space, having trained with some of the finest practitioners globally. Kit has a unique ability to 'use the future' today, combining tried and true futures tools with a commitment to action. Anyone working with Kit will gain many new skills and have a wider view of the futures landscape.

I’ve experienced Kit’s facilitation several times and it is rare to find someone as capable and skilled in their art.  Kit is instantly able to command attention, build engagement, make people feel at ease and guide the flow of an event fluidly.  Highly recommended!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kit for over 5 years and know that their facilitation will always be fun, engaging, professional, and focused on delivering outcomes. Kit has a unique mix of skills in strategic foresight, entrepreneurship and innovation, and coaching which gives them the empathy and know-how to facilitate groups through tough conversations. They are an exemplary facilitator, strategist, and coach and have consistently overdelivered in all of our engagements together.

This workshop both scared the bejesus out of me and enlightened me. We are at a crossroads and it has forced me to think how to be resilient while we navigate the road ahead

Kit is extremely impressive in style, facilitation of agenda, explaining process. Great patience. Enjoyed the session, learned new things, want to do more!

Kit has the powerful ability to intimately empathize with their client’s needs while catalyzing that client’s curiosity and courage to imagine and design toward a more creative and just future. I am eternally grateful for my work with Kit.

Today with Kit, was fun, inspiring, provoking and enlightening. I have a series of lenses with which to view the wider set of futures and make decisions.

The future is challenging, exciting and uncertain in equal measure. Kit helped us through confronting this is a positive way.

Really enjoyed the presenter style & energy, clarity of instruction and the simple process. Great scenarios!

Very thought provoking and disruptive. Forced us to think outside the box.

I've had the privilege of watching Kit work for some years, and working with them directly more recently. Kit is skilled, energetic, compassionate and highly professional. As a facilitator,  Kit is inclusive and enthusiastic; as a programme designer, thoughtful and outcomes-focused. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Kit for any facilitation or coaching work - you'll be lucky to work with them!

"This workshop was the perfect introduction as Kit patiently covered all aspects of non-binary life in Aotearoa. With positivity and insight, Kit shared their life experience while acknowledging the experience within our management team.   What Kit provided us with is a window into this world and the opportunity to become allies as part of our work at the CAB. Following on from this workshop my own eyes have been opened. I have shared the written material with all volunteers and spoken with them about the workshop. At least two volunteers have printed the material to share with their families; hoping for example, to provide support for close family who are puzzled by what they are experiencing. In addition, I have observed the binary nature of support offered and am in a position to kindly point out the potential for the inclusion of our nonbinary community here.   It is a great privilege to have learned from Kit. To use pronouns correctly, to provide clients with all options for their demographic record and to manaaki all clients with respect for their identity."

I am blown away by our session and your follow-up. The way that you seem to have almost recorded my every word is astounding to me I really appreciate being heard this way. I feel very seen and heard in your presence. You provided me with a beautiful session and I feel grateful to have you in my corner. Thank you thank you thank you with all my heart for your support, your counsel, and your love. I look forward to our future sessions and again I remain totally grateful to you.

Everyone thought you were a fantastic MC Kit. We all enjoyed the way you kept everyone in focus and made the day flow really smoothly. You bought the whole day together!

Breaking big audacious goals into steps with Kit's support has been a revelation to me. It's one of the most constructive processes I've ever undergone, and I'd recommend Kit's coaching to anyone! Working with her and laying down my mission and vision for the future has made my dreams explicit and thoroughly motivated me to take the actions required to meet them.

I am so thankful for meeting with you. I got your follow-up email - it was so amazing how much effort you put into me! You are amazing and I never thought meeting with a person like you would help me so much!

You have helped me realise my life-long dream of starting my own business. You've encouraged me to identify deeply entrenched self-limiting beliefs and supported me to challenge them in a way that has enabled me to make giant steps forward to realising my dream. I am so grateful for the kindness, wisdom and positive energy that you have consistently shown me. I'd highly recommend your as a coach to anyone who is ready to follow their authentic journey towards self-fulfilment in their own life. A wonderful experience!

Your coaching has helped me so much. I know I'm trying to consciously steer myself on to a specific path with specific goals, but I never had a clue what they were. Having my goals listed for me in the way that you did after our first session has been so helpful.

Kit has a warmth and sensitivity which immediately put me at ease. Her clarity and insight definitely helped to to move forward with my self esteem issues.

Kit, I believe is a very special person. She has a wonderful way about her and an ability to truly connect with people. I found her an amazing life coach in the way she really listened and drew out my own learnings and painted an inspiring future for me to take hold of. Thanks so much.

An awesome and inspiring day. You were a fantastic MC - so calm and kept the day running on time with a personal vibe.

You were fabulous Kit! You kept us all so engaged... never a dull moment. So glad you’re doing it again. Definitely planning to be there next time.
