Get the support you deserve
People choose me as their coach because
My coaching ignites change and accelerates the transformation of my clients so they can maximise their impact.
Expert
I am an experienced leader and non-executive director (NED) and keep up to date with books and articles on leadership, career development and transitions.
Evidence Based
I utilise evidence-based practices and a coaching framework developed by Coaching Australia, designed to help clients gain momentum as they move toward their desired future.
Client Focused
I understand that there is not a ‘one size fits all’ way people move through their careers, excel in leadership, or transition to retirement. My client-focused approach means coaching sessions are tailored around your needs and the goals you strive for.
Belief in Potential
I have a fundamental belief in your potential. I believe you hold the answers to your future, and my role is to help you unlock the answers by exploring all the possibilities.
Familiar with Client Context
Throughout my career, I spent 30 years in leadership roles, including extensive time in academia and earlier roles in local government and the not-for-profit sector. My current clients come from government agencies, community health services, not-for-profits and over fourteen universities from across Australia.
Combined, these experiences give me valuable insight into the current difficulties and stressors faced by people in these settings.
Personal
I am a highly relational person and bring warmth to my coaching approach. I don’t shy away from challenging clients and pushing their ideas, but my style means that you feel supported in the process.
I will support you to:
Get curious about your current situation and any pressing challenges.
Look clearly at any options and opportunities presenting.
Gain clarity on your strengths, test blind spots, and identify areas for change.
Delve into the unanswered questions you’re sitting with- leaving no stone unturned.
Reflect on the things that might be holding you back.
Explore the unexplored territory of your leadership approach and career.
Unpack the feelings that arise, with radical compassion.
Cultivate a positive mindset.
Test new ideas and approaches.
The insights you gain will be put to work in your daily decision-making and actions as you move forward with great momentum.
