Testimonials

The outcome of [Advita's] work has been incredibly valuable

We recently worked with Advita on our recent Belonging at Aspris project. From the very beginning, Advita brought energy, insight, and a thoughtful approach to understanding our organisation and its people. She engaged meaningfully with a range of colleagues across our specialist children’s services, listening carefully and respectfully as she explored our current EDI practices. Her flexibility and thoroughness throughout the process were hugely appreciated.

The outcome of her work has been incredibly valuable — Advita provided us with a clear and authentic EDI statement, along with tailored recommendations to help guide us over the next few years. Advita’s insights have been invaluable in supporting our ambition to lead the way in equity, diversity and inclusion, and we now have a strong foundation to work from.

Thank you Advita for your expertise; we’d absolutely recommend you to any organisation looking to create lasting and meaningful change.

Rebecca Phillips - People Team Director, Aspris

Advita's deliverables were top-notch, and she had the versatility to work across the whole spectrum of internal communications

Advita worked with us over several months during a period of disruption and change at the Barbican, when we really needed to step up how we were communicating with our team. She took a very collaborative approach, taking the time to properly understand our context and hear from our people about what did and didn’t work for them. Her deliverables were top-notch, and she had the versatility to work across the whole spectrum of internal communications – at a tactical level producing engaging and informative content and materials, while also developing an overarching internal comms strategy for that will stand us in good stead for the future.
James Tringham - Barbican Centre

Advita brings a wealth of experience

I’ve had the privilege of working with Advita for a number of years, and I’ve always valued her pragmatic, no-nonsense approach. Advita has an exceptional ability to cut through organisational bureaucracy and get to the real source of truth in a clear, relatable, and jargon-free way that everyone can understand.

Advita brings a wealth of experience and an extensive network that adds real richness, value, and diversity of thought to every conversation. I deeply admire that Advita always stays true to her values and consistently shows up as her authentic self in every situation and every interaction.

I highly recommend Advita for her skills in coaching, interpreting business requirements, and defining communication initiatives and strategies that truly address business challenges and deliver meaningful outcomes.
 
Advita has a natural thirst for learning and is constantly developing herself while generously sharing her knowledge and best practices with others. Advita is a true professional, a trusted colleague, and an inspiring leader to work alongside.
Sarah Dawson - Global Chief People Officer

An absolute joy to work with

We teamed up with Advita for an internal comms project and have gone on to work on another project around inclusion and belonging. She is hugely knowledgeable and experienced as a consultant but, more importantly, an absolute joy to work with. She’s collaborative. committed and always brings a fresh perspective. It’s such a pleasure working together, and we can’t wait to find some more projects to team-up on.
Gemma Moroney & Damon Statt - Co-founders, SHOOK

Advita is fantastic!

Not only does she know an endless amount about communications and best practice, she is also a highly professional and delightfully friendly person to work with. Recently, Advita worked with VMA GROUP during the early stages of the Covid19 pandemic and helped to facilitate and lead a large number of webinar discussions with VMA GROUP’s clients and broader stakeholder groups. Discussion topics focused on the impacts of the pandemic, crisis communications and how best to deal with the many challenges that Comms professionals were facing. The sessions led by Advita received fantastic feedback and we were very grateful for her support and hard work. I can’t recommend Advita highly enough.
Andrew Harvey – CEO, VMA GROUP

Advita is passionately committed to her profession

Advita worked with me on an important transformation project –she developed and implemented our communications strategy. Advita is passionately committed to her profession and an expert in communications, including dealing with all kinds and levels of stakeholders.

Karen Walkden - HR Director, Magnox

The session was fully booked!

The confidence session that Advita delivered for Sustrans was fantastic! It gave people practical tools to help build their confidence, think about what ‘imposter syndrome’ is and how to work through various exercises to continue to build on a foundation of confidence. She looked at different scenarios and how confidence looks different in different people and different situations.

The session was fully booked, with people on the waiting list wanting to join! It was pitched at exactly the right level. It was great as a facilitator to have a chat with Advita before the session to ensure that she was aware of where we as an organisation were and how she could make the most impact.

I have been inundated with people wanting to watch the recording and access the workbook.

Thank you so much, Advita. We’d love to have you back to help us again to build on what you’ve started.

Ridhi Kalaria - Partnership Manager, Sustrans

Advita isn’t afraid to step into mid-flight fast-paced environments

She uses her skills to assimilate information quickly to bring an effective Communication and Engagement plans together. Providing counsel and constructive challenge across a wide spectrum of stakeholders, to drive awareness and behaviour change in practical grounded ways, as part of a desired cultural behaviour movement, is not only something that Advita delivers well, but it’s part of who she is and it’s a natural skill she brings into her everyday engagement with people.

I highly recommend Advita, her overall work ethic, ability to build business intelligence quickly, her solid technical skill set, alongside a behaviour skill and approach that makes her, in my opinion, business agnostic in supporting and driving transformation change.

Julie Lewis - Senior HR Director, Ricardo
