TRAINING & CAPACITY BUILDING
Build knowledge that sticks and teams that thrive
HOW WE DELIVER
Face to face
In-person workshops at your location or a venue of your choice. Half-day, full-day, or multi-session formats. We come to you — nationally across Australia.
Virtual
Fully interactive online delivery via Zoom or Teams — not a passive webinar. Ideal for dispersed teams or hybrid workplaces.
Hybrid
Some in the room, some online — designed equally for both. Nobody is an afterthought when they’re joining remotely.
Who this is for: Teams & organisations, community groups, sector networks, government agencies, volunteers & advocates, and anyone ready to learn.
Knowledge is most powerful when people know how to use it — and when every person in the room feels they belong there.
SIGNATURE PROGRAM
HALF-DAY INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP
Building inclusive, culturally aware workplaces
Diverse teams consistently outperform homogeneous ones — but only when every person feels genuinely included, heard, and valued. This is EVIE’s signature training program, and the work we are most passionate about.
This half-day session is designed to be anything but a compliance exercise. It’s interactive, exploratory, and genuinely fun — a space where real discovery happens. Through facilitated discussion, reflection exercises, and group activities, participants explore how culture shapes the way we work, how bias operates in everyday decisions, and what it actually takes to build an environment where everyone can contribute fully.
We create a space where people can ask honest questions, sit with a little discomfort, laugh together, and leave with a genuine shift in understanding. The goal isn’t box-ticking — it’s a workplace that works better because of its diversity, not in spite of it.

• Half-day format (approx. 4 hours)

OTHER EVIE PROGRAMS
LEADERSHIP
Leadership skills
Practical leadership development for people at every level, from emerging leaders stepping into their first role to experienced managers navigating complex change. Self-awareness, communication, and the skills that actually matter day to day.
TEAMS
Building effective teams
What makes a team work and what gets in the way? We help teams understand their dynamics, strengthen communication, and build the trust and psychological safety that allows people to do their best work together.
CULTURE
Values alignment
When values are lived rather than laminated, everything works better. We help teams translate abstract principles into concrete, shared ways of working, so your culture is something people feel, not just something on a wall.
INFLUENCE
Negotiation & influence
How to communicate persuasively, advocate for your community or team, and get decision-makers to listen. Essential skills for anyone working at the intersection of policy, community, and change.
ENGAGEMENT
Working with communities
How to engage meaningfully with diverse communities, conduct ethical consultation, and build genuine partnerships rather than token participation, with particular experience in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and multicultural contexts.
CUSTOM
Bespoke programs
A specific need that doesn’t fit a category? We design bespoke programs for unique contexts: onboarding, community engagement preparation, specialist capability building, and more.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT
WOMEN’S RETREAT SERIES
Reconnecting with self
A retreat for women who give a lot — and need to come back to themselves.
So much of what women in community, government, and humanitarian work do is for others. These retreats create something rarer: a day that belongs entirely to you.
Held in small, intimate groups, each retreat is a gentle journey back to yourself — through cacao ceremony, breathwork, grounding exercises, and quiet time in nature. No agenda, no outcomes to achieve, no performance required. Just space to slow down, reconnect, and remember what it feels like to simply be.
You’ll leave feeling more settled, more present, and more connected — to yourself, and to the other women who walked alongside you for the day.
For women in the community, government, and humanitarian sectors — and anyone who needs to find their way back to themselves.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
• Cacao ceremony
• Breathwork
• Grounding exercises
• Walking in nature
• Small group — intimate setting
• Women only
• Regional SA & beyond — upcoming dates available on request
The best training doesn’t just transfer information. It changes how people think, how they relate to each other, and how they show up at work. That’s what EVIE’s training programs are designed to do. Every program is built around your team — your context, your challenges, and your goals. We start by listening, then design something practical, engaging, and grounded in real-world application. Participants leave with tools they can actually use — not just ideas they heard once in a room.We work with government agencies, non-profits, community organisations, and teams of all sizes — from small grassroots groups to large public sector departments.
Every program starts with a conversation
Tell us about your team, your context, and what you’re hoping to change. We’ll design something that fits. For retreat enquiries, reach out to find out about upcoming dates and locations.
