I am passionate about people and helping communities grow and prosper. I believe that the essence to life is connection and a sense of belonging.

I have completed my first non-fiction book, Creating Connected Communities, an insight into the past two decades of my work within community organisations across New Zealand and Australia.

The next step for me is to create a series of workshops to help more people. If you are interested in collaborating, or supporting me in creating more community connection please do reach out.

A bit more about

Creating Connected Communities

Get inspired and motivated about how to make a real difference with this practical, easy to use guide.

Written in a relaxed and uplifting conversational style, creating connected communities will help you start something new; like a small business, event, or community project.

OR ... If you volunteer and support others with fundraising, for a school, sporting team, cultural group or church, this book will give you easy ways to offer practical assistance that makes a real difference - without overextending yourself.

Margot weaves together helpful advice about everything you need to know; from vital planning and preparation steps, to managing money, marketing and how to get the actual work done!

There is a strong focus on how to harness the power of people, your team, supporters and volunteers. Most importantly, you'll understand how to start building a tribe of dedicated followers and create engaged connections with your community - a vital step.

Importantly, you'll also gain realistic insights into the more difficult aspects; like the project getting off track or losing momentum, what to do when you've got no money and dealing with difficult people. These tricky topics are written in a kind and understanding way to ensure you find solutions and get back on the track to success.

Margot weaves together this useful and easy to read information in an uplifting and inspiring way with relatable stories from her own experiences.

There are also useful worksheets throughout the book with links to download free printable versions.

What are you waiting for? Let's make some magic!

Want to help me

build the movement?

I am looking for people with similar values to help me expand my work. I work full time and am a busy parent so it can be tough to earn and make time to write.

I am on Patreon, a platform which helps creatives connect with supporters.

I'd be grateful for any support :)
