Our Values
We believe in working collaboratively, and with purpose, creativity, and empathy.
Working together, Kaleidoscope Focus creates greater, measurable, and sustainable impact.
Who is Kaleidoscope Focus?
Michelle Dodd and Rachel Dickson both run well-established and successful consultancies. With their complementary approaches and skillsets, the move to join forces and create Kaleidoscope Focus was a natural progression. Their collaboration, based on experience, mutual strong values, a passion for music, and a shared sense of humour, all contribute to the success of Kaleidoscope Focus, not only for Michelle and Rachel, but also for the people and organisations they work with.
Kaleidoscope Focus works with people and organisations to rediscover and revitalise their direction, and to grow their capacities and capabilities, so they can better support the people and communities they serve.
Seeking to make meaningful difference by sharing their expertise and knowledge enables the people and organisations they work with to magnify their own – and Kaleidoscope Focus’ – positive impact.
Michelle Dodd is an accomplished strategist and management consultant, working in the human services sector for more than 30 years. A former senior executive in the NSW Public Service, she understands what it takes for people and organisations to survive and thrive in complex and ever-changing environments.
An excellent communicator and facilitator who leads with integrity and compassion, Michelle connects strategy, culture, and systems to build organisations’ capacities and capabilities to work with purpose, and motivate people to achieve their best.
Rachel Dickson is an experienced developmental psychologist with more than 20 years’ practise in the human services sector in clinical, training and research fields. She is an advocate of empowering others to navigate life’s challenges with honesty, congruence and self-actualisation.

A skilled facilitator in person centred approaches, leadership development, and reflective practices, Rachel has worked nationally and abroad, sharing her approach with others.
Michelle Dodd
We worked with Michelle on a number of projects and tender processes. She listened to what we needed and was able to use her experience and networks to produce really fantastic work that enhanced our organisation. She understood who we were as well as the people, families and communities we work with, and was such an asset for us.

“These sessions were great. I think there was real value in attending and I believe it helped us grow as a team.”
Rachel Dickson
“From this program I have confidence around where we are heading… I am taking away a changed perspective and way of thinking about working with people, and some purpose and excitement too”.
