I am a solutions-focused storyteller and strategist, and a passionate leadership training and coach.

With a long international leadership career, spanning small local business to major multinational corporations, and from public service to the not-for-profit sector, I have always been driven to unlock the potential of individuals to empower them, their organisations and their communities to flourish. 

I am an award-winning business leader, a popular public speaker and a passionate leadership coach. I lead with my head, my heart, and my intuition to navigate complexity and empower others through those challenges.

I know the highs and lows of leadership life. After experiencing my own burnout I created Aliferous Leadership Strategies to share my knowledge, experience and ideas with as many people as possible so that they can conquer any obstacles blocking their own leadership capabilities from taking flight.

If you want to create a high performing team, it all starts with trust. In this session we will explore why trust is so critical to team performance and what role vulnerability plays in creating the right type of trust.

Collaboration: Trust & Vulnerability

We have all experienced the negative impacts of adverse behaviour. Workplace conflict, underperforming teams, failed projects, broken relationships, and wasted effort. In this session we will uncover the four drivers of our behaviour and explore how we can use behavioural intelligence to become better communicators, decision makers and team players. 

Wellbeing: What Drives Your Behaviour?

Purpose is powerful. It can boost our business productivity, as well as our overall wellbeing. In this session we will tap into Japanese concept of IKIGAI to uncover your reason for being and unlock the secret to greater joy and wellbeing at work and in life more generally.

Leadership: IKIGAI

Feedback is a powerful tool for developing capability. But its something so many of us hate doing. Particularly when that feedback is critical. In this session we will explore how feedback can be a gift and how we can give critical feedback in a more meaningful and effective way.

Leadership: Giving Critical Feedback

How big a difference can 5 seconds make in your life? Turns out quite a lot. In this session we will tap into the wisdom of motivational expert Mel Robbins to find how the 5 second rule can help us break bad habits and take the action needed to achieve personal and professional success - whether its applying for that promotion, delivering that pitch or getting back into shape.

Wellbeing: The Five Second Rule

We are now working in a complex, interconnected and constantly changing world. That means that success in our work requires us to be constantly aware of our environment. In this session you will be introduced to PESTEL - a useful tool you can use to do this in your strategic planning, market analysis, stakeholder engagement and change management activities to avoid missing anything that could have a critical impact.
