What People Say

Jill Murphy’s superpower (amongst many others) is that she astutely observes every single participant in an offsite to assess the level of engagement and to call people into conversation in an inclusive and uplifting way. When Jill facilitates a workshop, you can expect to feel included, and respectfully challenged just slightly beyond your comfort zone, where personal growth and development await you. I always walk away from Jill’s sessions feeling empowered, rejuvenated, and inspired to show up for myself and my teammates in ways I had not fathomed before.

Alvina Ng

Head of People

It's hard to understate the impact that working with Jill has had on the growth and trajectory of our company and (perhaps more profoundly, even) on me as a young leader. Jill helped me and my team reframe challenges, reach alternative perspectives, and articulate new insights in ways that are frankly unimaginable without her facilitation. She's disarming but firm, cool but excellent—her style is a blend of deep learning expertise and intuition about what connects people to each other and to a desire to do work that matters.

Shannon Minifie

CEO, Box of Crayons

Jill's ability to connect and challenge people in the way they think about their business, it's impact and potential, is invaluable. She has a unique way of engaging every single person and giving them the space to contribute and evolve. It's truly unbelievable to see the strides in each team member's personal growth and the growth of the business happening at the same time. I am so thankful to have been a part of Jill's workshop and I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to take their business to the next level.
