“I highly recommend Yasmin from the Olive Consultancy, she is exceptional in developing and delivering strategic leadership support programmes for the third sector. Having collaborated with Yasmin across three small charities (Social Action for Health, Hackney Foodbank and DataKind UK), I can attest to her professionalism, expertise, and genuine commitment to strengthening the third sector. Over those engagements Yasmin demonstrated remarkable skill in helping me and our senior leadership teams develop robust strategic thinking capabilities whilst ensuring the organisations remained true to their core mission and values. Her approach to strategic planning was both practical and inspiring, enabling us to navigate complex challenges without ever losing sight of our fundamental purpose. Key to Yasmin’s approach has been her support in developing and refining theories of change and enabling us to articulate clear pathways from activities to outcomes, helping us to build more compelling cases for support and strengthening our impact measurement approaches. In addition, Yasmin is adept at creating safe spaces for vulnerable leadership conversations, offering both insightful challenge and support in thinking things through. Her emotional intelligence and sector knowledge makes the Olive Consultancy an ideal partner for leaders navigating the unique pressures of leading mission-driven organisations.”

“Working with Yasmin in December was genuinely transformative for our charity.She has an exceptional ability to cut through noise and help you focus on what truly matters. Through her thoughtful facilitation and strategic insight, she helped us clearly align our goals, articulate our “why” and purpose, and translate those reflections into practical direction.What stood out most was her coaching style. She did not impose answers; instead, she skillfully encouraged, challenged, and guided us to arrive at the right decisions for ourselves. The process felt both supportive and stretching in equal measure, which gave us real confidence in the choices we made.As a result of working with her, we entered the new year with clarity, conviction, and a well-defined roadmap for the next phase of our journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any small charity or purpose-driven organisation seeking strategic alignment, renewed focus, and strong foundations for sustainable growth.”
