Juliet's standalone workshop was insightful and thought-provoking. I liked her very 'human' process and really appreciated I wasn’t expected to sign up for anything afterwards. I feel I’m more in control of my choices rather than having to rely on others to make decisions for me.
The practical blueprint she provided me with captured everything we discussed. It provided me with clear guidance and ideas about how I could shape and plan my giving, and where and how I can use my resources to make a positive impact.
She’s given me a lot to think about and the tools to help move forward. I appreciated that she offered to introduce me to people in her network who could support my next steps.
I can thoroughly recommend her services.
Juliet’s knowledge of philanthropy and its potential impact on the client/adviser relationship is second to none.
When working together I was impressed by her dedication, passion and willingness to share her knowledge for the greater good.
She’s built a strong network of connections which makes her ideally placed to help firms connect with clients who have philanthropic objectives.
Juliet is really at the vanguard of the movement to make philanthropic discussions central to the client/adviser relationship.
The workshop opened my eyes and introduced me to the different ways in which giving is structured; I’d never heard of the ‘Spectrum of Capital’ before.
Juliet asked excellent questions which helped me really explore how I could take my first steps, and stop feeling so daunted about not knowing where to start.
On reading the report I was impressed at how well Juliet had listened and how she had translated our conversation into actionable insights.
If her intention is to help people see the different ways they can use their resources to create positive change to the world around us, and on their own terms, that certainly worked for me.
Juliet has a brilliant ability to find connections between issues, ideas, and people, and is one of the most dynamic and effective forces for building communities of changemakers I have come across. She is an assiduous "student" of the landscape of philanthropy, family offices and the third sector, and one of my go-to's for research and recommendations, not to mention she is very effective and generous with reaching out and sharing valuable resources.
Juliet has been integral to helping me, my peers, and my family, forge connections with values aligned funders, investors, and other family offices. She is brimming with initiative and fresh ideas for how to better galvanise the sector and overcome issues caused by siloes. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she is precisely the sort of positive force and fresh pair of eyes that the sector needs to shift towards more progressive, cohesive, and impactful ways of effecting social and environmental change.
I first met Juliet during my Masters studies where I was hoping to connect with philanthropists across different generations to conduct my dissertation research. Juliet opened her black book of contacts and never closed it since. It's simply in her nature to connect those that might have something to learn from each other, who are grappling with the same problem or want to run an event or a new project.
If you're stuck, I'd recommend catching up with Juliet as she'll quickly line up 2-3 valuable chats with other likeminded people, whether in the UK and abroad. She oozes generosity and cares deeply.
Juliet is one of the most passionate, energised and collaborative people I know. She has made countless connections between me and individuals or organisations working in a similar space which have all proved incredibly beneficial. She is incredibly passionate about the many ways in which wealth and resources can be harnessed for the good of people and planet and that is why I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anyone.
Juliet is a right hand woman, I'll never forget. Her ability to intuit problems, strategise and proactively resolve challenges on the ground was invaluable. Her deep understanding of the philanthropic sector and her ability to manage relations so deftly, was a real asset to our team in a critical time for fundraising.
I highly recommend Juliet in any small NGO/social enterprise environment, or indeed on either side of the funder/ beneficiary relationship to guide relationships and results.
Juliet is passionate about philanthropy and always willing to give her time, insight and expertise to advance the practice and understanding of philanthropic activity.
She voluntarily reviewed the manuscript of a book that I co-authored with Emma Beeston, Advising Philanthropists: Principles and Practice, and her comments were timely, wise and very useful. I am happy to recommend Juliet as a colleague and employee.
Juliet was an outstanding student with a deep understanding of complex issues of social investment and a commitment to the philanthropic sector.
