ABOUT ME

​It’s tragic that the ranks of leadership include hirelings who serve for paychecks, rather than purpose. Leadership is a calling, not a career.

My work over the past couple of decades has been focused on being the best I can be in the field of leadership and cultural development. Totally dedicated to helping our Human Resource Partners to gain a solid reputation within their organisations.

Working with thousands of leaders to improve their behaviour by utilising their stakeholders, colleagues and line managers to work with them in the rhythm of everyday work life.

In the corporate world where success in talent development and retention is key to sustainable growth and success, the Human Capital (HR) function plays a critical role. As a HR professional, its an innate desire to equip your leaders with the core (and necessary) skills to lead in a future that will undoubtedly bring challenge and change. 

​

Leadership is about being comfortable about being uncomfortable, that's one of my calling cards.

​

I am privileged to have worked with some of the iconic business brands across a range of industries (health, education, mining, oil and gas, transport, manufacturing, construction, rail, telecommunication, retail, insurance...as well as WA Police, Air Force and WA Fire).  With all levels employees, from new starters to the executive suites.

​

My experience also includes membership and presidential responsibilities on the Australian Institute of Training and Development in WA, Australian Marketing Institute contributing at boards. 

Played and coached football with abundant team success, and evolved into a speaker and presenter to a wide range of topics and audience.

​

An adventurer at heart, I enjoy the outdoors, surfing, football, gym, travelling and being with my family.

 

My other job is writing which hopefully underpins my infinite mindset, and its still work in progress capturing my lifelong learning into a book (or 2) to ensure a legacy for next generation of talent. 

​

"To drive my purpose...I have 3 simple goals"

MY GOALS

1. To make a difference in people's lives

2. To drive human worth and effectiveness in the workplace

3. To help each client I work with to become organisation of choice

​

"My calling went from being a specialist to generalist..."

GENERALIST

  • Stakeholder Centred Assessment & Coaching (Marshall Goldsmith - US)

  • Trust Inside Assessments (Integro Leadership Institute - Australia)

• Workshop Facilitation

• Coaching Services

• VET Trainer and Assessor

 

"My methodology card..."

IT'S DEFINITELY A 'WE' THING

• Coming together is a beginning;

• Keeping together is process;

• Working together is success.

Unlike traditional L&D and management consulting practices we tend to think that we work with you, not for you.  

My methodology is designed to create internal strength from the inside out.  Work alongside you, so rather than coming in and lifting the weight for you, I will help you build the strength to lift it yourself (and most certainly, let you know what to stop doing) - and I don’t profess to have all the knowledge.  Certainly help you find the insights, the opportunities to innovate and the methodology to build and leverage your inherent expertise.

​

"Coaching is More Than My Work. It’s Another Calling"

ABOUT MY CLIENTS

They . . .

• Dig deep and get to know themselves (their leadership purpose, strengths, values, impact that they are inspired to make)

• Discover how they can be more agile and effective in the shifting challenges they face

• Find how they can overcome the ways that they sabotage themselves

• Become more grounded and confident in who they authentically are

• Move purposefully toward the impact they are inspired to make in their organisations

• Don't ever forget where they're from, their culture and their people that helped them get to where they are

​

"It's about relationships and results..."

RESULTS MY CLIENTS EXPERIENCE
