What’s the Experience like?

I chose to work with Kiikstart for Ali’s attention to building a values-based relationship with myself and the altruistic values of the service I deliver to my clients. She places an emphasis on curating and co-designing programs that are fit for the purpose and values of the community we are trying to create, with bravery and authenticity.

It’s a genuine holding-space for self-discovery – authenticity and generosity are two values Ali embodies in all of her work, so prepare to show up in all of your glory and be ready to reciprocate in good faith.

Former Head People and Culture

I worked with Kiikstart for approximately two years, in transitioning Coca-Cola Operational Employees out of Coca-Cola to other opportunities, due to the closure of the Manufacturing Plant, Thebarton (South Australia). Ali’s passion and driving characteristics are infectious, plus the ability to build individual and corporate relationships quickly ensures success. On a personal level, I too have now engaged with Kiikstart to provide me with this unique service to enable me to take the next step in my professional journey.

Senior Manager

Lots of people talk about innovation, but Ali lives it. She has a global mindset and challenges the status quo. What struck me immediately was Ali’s goodwill, approachable nature and strong sense of purpose and passion for her work and the industry. Over the course of working with her, Ali asked us the pointy questions at the right times to help us evolve our thinking and create work that is both practical and action-oriented, and cutting edge and aspirational. I highly recommend her as a workforce strategist and learning and development coach.

Ali has been a force of authentic insights and real-life applicable concepts in my LinkedIn feeds. It's not until I engaged directly with her that I experienced a deep understanding of how the space of L&D, People Development and Organization Development could be part of the whole business strategy ecosystem.

With her inviting me to be part of her effort in bringing her authentic self and original concepts, it was also the time when I found a kindred mind in elevating the People centric design and put it in the centre of business commercial impacts.

Ali is someone you'll want to work with in bringing your organizations to that place where your development strategies encompasses the whole spectrum of human aspects with her original Circular Workplace framework.
Albert Oktovianus - Strada

Ali Uren is a visionary in the Learning & Development space whose innovative approach to solving workforce brain drain sets her apart.

What makes Ali exceptional is her philosophy of 'Think different, Learn different, Do different' – a mantra that resonates deeply in today's rapidly evolving workplace.
Her generosity in sharing lessons and unique perspectives has personally enriched my understanding of L&D.

For leaders and founders struggling with knowledge retention, Ali's work is an invaluable resource that challenges conventional thinking and offers practical, forward-thinking solutions.
Tayyiba Iram – Epworth Health

Ali redefines conventional L&D and organisational development wisdom through her distinctively strategic lens. Over the past year, I've witnessed how her LinkedIn content consistently challenges assumptions and drives meaningful reflection.

Her newsletter is an essential resource. What sets it apart is her ability to blend deep expertise with practical, immediately applicable insights. Each edition offers fresh perspectives that thoughtfully challenge traditional approaches while delivering tangible value.

For professionals seeking innovative, strategic approaches backed by years of experience, Ali's newsletter is an invaluable investment. Her measured yet enlightening viewpoint consistently offers new insights in organizational development.
Neil Harrison - The Adaptologists

I have worked with Ali Uren of Kiikstart for over 15 years, with each experience reminding me why Kiikstart will always be my first point of reference for any professional learning and development needs. Ali’s common sense and outcomes-oriented approach, combined with her non-conventional style, provides for a unique experience.
Suzy Dimaline - Cure4 Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

I have had the chance to partner with Ali on many occasions from sharing the virtual stage to advising and coaching each other. Every interaction has left me with something to ponder something to get curious about. To put Ali in the L&D bucket would be to do her work a disservice.

They teach organizations and people how to learn, how to build capability, and how to build organizational resilience in the face of constant change. These are things every single business should be investing in. And she has phenomenal business acumen to back it all up. This lethal combination makes Ali a terrific partner to any organization that is looking to transform itself into a more effective and future-ready business.
