Hi, my name is Rebekah Lambert.

I help people and organisations take back control of work by creating healthier, more sustainable ways of working.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: most people are not resisting change, they are flat out trying to survive it, or have lost the optimism that makes change feel possible.

My work is about rebuilding that sense of possibility so people can take the next step.

Since 2010, I have been freelancing in content, community management, business coaching, and strategy and planning. With clients in evaluation, the arts, startup, end-of-life, and community service, my work sits at the intersection of lived experience, communication, and how teams and products actually functions in practice.

After noticing a support and advocacy gap in Australian freelancing, I built and still lead the Freelance Jungle, a national community of more than 6,800 freelancers across Australia and New Zealand. It focuses on ending the isolation in freelancing, reminding freelancers stress has a productivity cost, and raising the knowledge and advocacy bar. It is a Wayahead Workplace Wellbeing Award award winner.

Drawing on my experience as a freelancer and freelance advocate, I also help companies make the most of Australian and New Zealand freelancers. I’m here to help organizations tap into the power of freelance talent by connecting them with skilled professionals and showing them how to create workplaces that are freelance-friendly.
