I want those I work with to be energised and inspired to go and do great things in their life and work.
Put simply, I help people and organisations to be the best at what they think and do. And then have the results they need to thrive and flourish.
It’s capacity building on a grand scale.
Because after I have gone you are able to build on your learning and ideas, and continue to sustain the results you want.
As a capability builder I do a number of things. I coach, facilitate, design, consult, lead, write, speak, present. I collaborate and build trust as the foundations of a good relationship.
I’m strategic in how I think and most definitely a do-er too. Doing is everything if you want change. Doing is everything if you want to change.
I’m a positive optimist. I love learning. I am self-assured and personally accountable for what I do. I love what I do. I aim to pass this attitude on.
Everything is useful. Nothing is wasted when you love what you do.
In every job I’ve had I have been paid to do what I really enjoy. Even when some of those roles have called on me to be a pioneer and blaze a new trail or they’ve been tough and I had to dig deep for my resilience.
I’ve done my 10,000 hours. I have a double decade and more of a varied, multi-career behind me. I’ve worked at every scale with diverse people and organisations that have been broad and incredibly interesting. I’ve worked locally in communities and nationally in charities, private business and the public sector.
Positive coaching and learning
I coach.
Coaching is a very powerful way to help you discover your own inner resources and have the confidence to do the things you love, that give you purpose and a sense of achievement. When I coach you, I help you develop and achieve better performance at whatever level you live and work. You have confidence and resilience. You are able to ‘go and do’ for yourself with positivity.
I’m an expert facilitator of learning.
I am the neutral collaborator with influence and skills, but no power. I am there for process not content, and for sustaining a participatory environment. In my webinars and workshops this achieves engagement and participation. With groups, teams and boards it means you can all, including the leader, discuss, diagnose, solve problems, reach decisions and achieve your outcomes.
Coaching and learning are the ultimate flexible power tools that help us in the changing world of life and work.
There’s a lot going on in the world that’s uncertain, complex and ambiguous. We are vulnerable to the break neck speed at which everything happens. It’s impacting on our work, health, communities, life/work balance, mental fitness and wellbeing. Workers are dispersed. What we call work is different. Where we work has no single defined space. Who we work with stretches from baby boomers to gen z. I help you navigate the changes you need to achieve clarity and a coherent strategy and plan for success.

Values
Work with integrity
Do what’s right and honest. It’s doing work with a conscience.
Be kind
We have to start with each other. Being kind is how to build strong relationships. Going easy with each other, listening more, showing compassion in tough times is always better. And we must be kinder to planet earth.
Collaborate
Creating and building anything worthwhile is best done together, in collaboration, from beginning to end. The result is always more effective and enriching because it has been achieved through sharing know how, skills, ideas and experiences. It applies to coaching, learning facilitation, consulting and design and build work.
Have purpose
Purpose gives positive optimism. Not a sugar coated kind of optimism, a realistic one. It’s a foundation for wellbeing and personal resilience. It is baked into how I work. It’s the vanguard of meaningful learning and change.
Do good
Doing what works for good is how we move forwards, make a change, do what we love. We can make informed decisions on important issues for ourselves, for our life and work and for our planet.
Help planet earth
The emotion of how vulnerable we are to climate break down hits hard. Life seems more fragile nowadays, profoundly uncertain and anxiety inducing at times. It is no cliché these are unprecedented times. Everything we do needs to help planet earth. We all have to use less, buy less, eliminate our carbon footprint. We cannot ignore unavoidable facts. Planet earth is our only home, where we live, where we do business. Acting on environmental and social responsibility is a priority.
