Professional Development

Building confident, culturally capable and respectful workplaces.

Our Professional Development offerings are designed to build the knowledge, confidence and capability of leaders, teams and employees to work respectfully and effectively with First Nations peoples, businesses and communities.

Through tailored, culturally grounded learning experiences, we support organisations to move beyond awareness and into action — strengthening understanding, shifting mindsets and embedding respectful ways of working across all levels of an organisation.

Our Approach

At Indigico Creative, professional development is grounded in relationship, lived experience and practical application. We design learning experiences that are engaging, reflective and relevant — creating space for honest conversation, curiosity and growth.

ur sessions are tailored to your organisational context, sector and stage of cultural capability. We recognise that everyone comes to this work from a different place, and we meet people where they are while gently challenging assumptions and encouraging deeper understanding.

Our Professional Development process

Our Professional Development services are carefully planned and thoughtfully delivered, and include 3 core stages:

Stage 1: Discovery & Design

We begin by understanding your organisation — your goals, people, challenges and aspirations. This stage informs the design of tailored learning experiences that are relevant, culturally appropriate and aligned with your strategic priorities.

Stage 2: Delivery & Engagement

We deliver engaging, interactive learning experiences that prioritise participation, storytelling and discussion. Sessions are designed to create culturally safe spaces where participants feel comfortable asking questions, reflecting and learning together.

Stage 3: Reflection & Integration

Learning doesn’t end when the session does. We support reflection on key insights and provide guidance on how learnings can be integrated into everyday practice, leadership approaches and organisational culture.
