Endorsements

Talie was the driving force of changing attitudes at Nottingham Playhouse around sustainability. Her passion and enthusiasm was immense. She broke things down into very manageable chunks for people to easily understand, she understood our teams time constraints and empathised with people's job roles and responsibility and whilst trying to push sustainability she wasn't overbearing.

We found the session incredibly helpful, especially considering we didn't have much time together. I felt quite energised and inspired by what we could be doing as part of the project, giving us a bit of a test run in carbon calculation and working with other collaborators to make realistic commitments.
