My Why

I’m devoted in harnessing and transferring people’s qualities and values to business. Through true engagement and empowerment, people are allowed to shine and contribute immensely for greater sustainable solutions and outcomes,  

How I work

I am a doer.....I love to achieve, particularly when teams are on board and own the process.  By listening empathetically, by seeking to understand and allowing people to analyse and act (with some motivation and support by myself). The power of making mistakes, getting up, learning and moving forwards is truly inspirational.

What I do

I facilitate team workshops, 1:1 sessions, coach and mentor people at all levels from frontline to Executive, and provide advice/guidance to organisations seeking business excellence and growth.  

I get a buzz collaborating with clients and the joy they experience in areas of Leadership Training, Emerging Leadership, Team Unity, Strategy Formulation, Corrective and Preventative Actions/Solutions, Project Management, Risk Mitigation, Lean Management and Operational Excellence outcomes, Organisational Transformation, Change and Culture. As well solid Operational and Quality Management Systems implementation and Continuous Improvement enable me to be a trusted business partner.

What I love

Family is the world to me – their health and happiness is my ultimate success. Love anything outdoors and being active.
