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.
