Who I am

I believe that everything we do is based on trust and that our energies are best spent on things that are meaningful.

I've had multiple roles as a military veteran, personal trainer, public servant, service delivery executive, coach, and leadership advisor. The common skill across all of these is the ability to develop and improve organisations, teams, and people. 

As someone who frequently gets 'parachuted in' for complex cultural challenges, I understand the care, effort, and persistence needed for positive and sustainable change.

People often struggle to trust themselves, and/or others to achieve transformation.

I've experienced ridiculous amounts of time, money, and sanity wasted on disconnected 'solutions' and suffered from the overuse of 'industry experts' to implement and improve things with limited success. 

The primary reason why so many change efforts fail is that 'transformation is internal', it can’t be outsourced, led, or managed by anyone other than you and your teams. 

I'm passionate about building genuine partnerships within organisations, and communities so people can deliver services they're proud of. 

If you want a complimentary insight on my 'origin story' download Chapter One of my book 'Trust - The Foundation for Healthy Organisations and Teams'.

I help executives address distrust and connect with employees. Employees often know why things are failing, but might not have the opportunity, freedom, or appropriate support to provide greater value.  

As an independent mentor and coach for strategy and delivery, you and I will partner with leaders, middle management, and operational areas to:

1. Obtain increased understanding to address root causes of issues
2. Work with the challenges, pace, and stress of current environments 
3. Co-design solutions that make sense
4. Implement practical outcome-driven approaches for success
5. Build internal, and functional capability
6. Deliver in ways that are calm, sustainable, and continuously improving   
7. Save money by realising, and growing the value of the people you have.

The types of services I offer are on the programs page.
