Committed Capacity Builders

WHO WE ARE
A message from the Founding Director
The Institute of Hope was established to facilitate sustainable change for individuals, organisations and communities.
Our approach is innovative and designed to help rebalance relationships with self and others. Our focus is on reigniting hope by fostering self worth and confidence through understanding the importance of self care.
We acknowledge that people already have many of the resources they need. Our approach is heart centred and our aim is simply to work with people where they are at and help them bridge their own personal and professional gaps.
We believe that strengthening individual’s foundation is the key to success as it provides a fertile ground for the seeds of hope to flourish.
“When we have authentic conversations and take appropriate actions, this ensures genuine sustainable change.”

A message from the CEO Bronwyn Clee
Continuing to develop IOH after Janelle's death was bittersweet. So many times I questioned whether or not I was on the right track or whether I had deviated away from what we had originally agreed to. But every time I come back to the “When we have authentic conversations and take appropriate actions, this ensures genuine sustainable change.” I remind myself that this is what I endeavour to do on a daily basis.
In 2019, IOH is consortium of consultants, coaches, activists and trainers that I work with in a variety of ways. This trusted tribe are spread across our nation and while we haven't ever all been in the one room, we know each other well enough to know that our shared values and principles to keep showing up, having authentic conversations and doing what we can to contribute to the greater good of all, is the glue that holds us together.
As I go deeper into capacity building across communities, I am reminded that no matter what I do, whether it's facilitating restorative processes, coaching/counselling//mentoring, teaching protective behaviours or strategy development, it's all about value adding from a position of gratitude.

Our consortium of Changemakers:
We are a collective of conscious consultants committed to helping you make sense of your story by breaking down barriers to self care. Some of us work with individuals, while others work directly with businesses, organisations and governments. We are located across Australia with Changemakers in Darwin, Cairns, and Adelaide. Regardless to who or where we work, our strong connecting thread is our belief that self care must come first. And we are all still in the process of mastering that ourselves!
