03 Collegiate thinking and supportive working with The Mangrove Collective

Today I am speaking with Elizabeth Fitton Higgins and Eunchim Choi from the Mangrove Collective. The Mangrove Collective is a for-purpose international humanitarian and development consultancy, based in New Zealand and Singapore with a focus on the Pacific and Asia regions. In this powerful conversation we learn how the lack of support for working mothers in a corporate NGO environment became a catalyst for one of the founding principles for The Mangrove Collective.   We hear how the Collective practices a strong culture of support and collegiate thinking.  We learn about the chaotic early days and how  the MC  turned it around to create a stable pipeline of work that they really love doing.  And finally the Mangrove Collective have some great advice for those just starting out on their consulting journey. Find out more about The Mangrove Collective below: The Mangrove Collective Website Eunchim Choi Linkedin Elizabeth Fitton-Higgins LinkedinJessica Smith Linkedin____________________________________________________________________________________ResourcesDownload the 5 things you need to know about being a consultant hereFind out how you can work with us hereJoin the Women's Consulting WorkshopSign up here for the Women's Consulting Workshop weekly newsletter, 3 good things._____________________________________________________________________________________If you would like to be our guest on the show, please contact us at [email protected]
