About Getting Inspired

Our History

After almost 20 years of working with organisations whose purpose was to assist those most disadvantaged, I have learnt that even with the right intentions this can often get lost along the way.

When I started Getting Inspired, I used those lessons to set up a structure and bring those people around me to ensure that a people first approach is never lost. While our ‘listen and respond’ methodology isn’t new, it’s the day to day practice of this that really ensures that we never lose our way.

Personally, I make no apologies for my love of people, it’s given me the most amazing experiences in life, brought about some of my biggest challenges but has made me ever so resolute to ensure that every person we work with is better off for being a part of working with Getting Inspired.

I’m proud of our fellow directors, each bringing a unique skill set and experiences into the business, each specifically chosen because being with them gets me inspired.

Yours in people,
Stewart Williams
