Why we are trusted

"I can not speak highly enough of the professionalism and capability of Luke Jeffery and the Everywhen Group. We engaged Luke to deliver in person development sessions to over 1,500 of our employees focused on ensuring our people have greater cultural competence. Key focus of these approx. 50+ sessions delivered across Australia focused on understanding and respecting the rich knowledge, culture and lived experience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Telstra is a diverse business with employees from many different cultural backgrounds, this had to be considered during the delivery of every session as the content can be: triggering for some participants, challenging for some participants to come to terms with, there are some participants that disagree with some of the information being shared however, Luke was considerate with all participants no mater where they were on their journey. His ability to ask open questions and encouraged participants to come to their own conclusion on extremely complex topics, is a real strength of his, (he has an extremely high emotional intelligence). Luke's ability to really partner with us and always keep the experience of the participants as a priority meant that we could focus on other areas knowing the program was in safe hands. I have no reservations in recommending Luke and Everywhen based on: knowledge and passion that is evident in every interaction, the professionalism shown throughout the entire engagement, the care he and the team take, whether that be in the face-to-face sessions or the video content, the willingness to go above and beyond to ensure a positive experience for our employees, the authenticity of Luke and the team and the ability to build strong relationships quickly, and their ability to develop high impact learning strategies."

"Every programme offers moments that stay with you. For me, that moment came during a session in Brisbane led by  Luke Jeffery who is Wiradjuri, and  Turrbal Songwomen Maroochy and Baringa. The Turrbal are the traditional custodians of the land in the Brisbane area. Their task was deceptively simple: complete the sentence “I am…” Over the course of three hours, we explored personal identity, relationality, trust, and decision-making through the lens of ancient wisdom. It was a powerful reminder that leadership is ultimately a human practice. One rooted not just in logic, but in connection. As academic director of the programme, I don’t often get to be a participant. But that session reframed how I think about leadership, and how I approach my own role. It also made something clear: the future of leadership is not about delivering answers. It’s about holding the space for others to explore the questions that matter."

Academic Programme Director Alexander Budzier 

"Fascinating, life-changing, and essential for all leaders in the organisation AT LEAST. If not everyone."

Aboriginal Business Owner

"Being able to safely ask any question, and hear from First Nations people about the local culture, as well as the history of colonisation and it's affect, differences in First Nations worldview vs western etc deepens my understanding and moved me very greatly. This is such a helpful step towards truth-telling and increased awareness, and reconciliation."

Telstra participant Brisbane

"It is sometimes hard to find a facilitator who will help guide a process that discusses the building of cultural capability within an organisation. Luke Jeffery’s, from Everywhen, not only enabled that process but skilfully facilitated the discussions we needed to build a document for our whole agency. As an Aboriginal woman, he also enabled me to be in a culturally safe space to have the conversations with my colleagues."

Christine Luck (Senior Project Officer – Indigenous Workforce, Department of Education Queensland)

"There is a great need for companies that work alongside us to understand their role in healing, reflecting regularly on their strengths in capability to effect change. I am grateful for Everywhen Group working alongside The Healing Foundation and there are few I confidently refer associates to. Selena and Luke are a formidable team whose approach to advisory and strengthening workforces and sectors is values-based and evidence-based and informed by an accurate and current lay-of-the-land, not just in terms of where we are now on our healing journey as a nation but also what next steps are possible and most powerful."

Fiona Cornforth (CEO – Healing Foundation)

Mike Bosel (CEO – Brisbane South Primary Health Network)

"Thank you so very much for the incredibly powerful, insightful and inspiring session you led us through. At a professional level, this was the most impactful learning session that I’ve experienced in the entirety of the corporate bit of my careers. Yours was the most powerful, the most thought-provoking and the most inspiring to help make change. Your ability to engage and lead a group through a difficult conversation is exemplary. At a personal level, you led me to a far deeper understanding of things that I already thought I’d made myself quite aware of. Thanks so very much for the inspiration to push harder, learn more, do more. Thank you for the work you do – and for sharing with us the awareness and inspiration to try harder and to lead towards it."
