I offer insights and practical resources as I explore the crossover between Leadership, Change and Mental Health and Wellbeing , evidence-based, carefully tailored and made relevant to your organisation. My style is described as relatable, funny, kind, honest and purposeful but I don't 'do' fluff and ‘feel good’ although my audiences do say they feel better because they have more practical tools after my work with them. I generate empathetic and pragmatic changes and enhancements to leadership styles. I gently challenge leaders to generate self-awareness in their own and their team's leadership and their impact on others.Others say of my presentations: 'fantastic thought provoking - very inspiring', 'invaluable information (that applies to all areas of life) presented in a fun interactive manner', 'THE most powerful and useful session I think I have attended', 'loved her "realness' and relevance to leading change'. And I promise I am not making this up - after all I'm an 'honest' lawyer by background!Using my expertise and experience in building Mentally Healthy and Emotionally Smart Leaders and Workplaces, allow me to enable and support your leaders and team to lead in these Covid times and reflect on how they can do it better. In presentations, I open their minds to the possibilities and 'What's in it for them" to consider their leadership style and skills. In workshops either virtually or face to face, we delve deep into the 'how to do it'.On the way, and because I'm passionate scuba diver and a solo hiker, I'll take your team 'Beneath the Surface' and 'Master the Mountains' to navigate the journey to effective emotionally smart leadership and results.

My workshops for executives and leaders, dive deep with practical tools and resources, into how leaders can bring about productive change that meets goals but does not disengage) already stressed and anxious people.

But this context was unanticipated. Previous research showed that most change projects failed to deliver as promised. This challenge is now magnified especially as the evidence shows organisational change is a key risk factor in mental wellness.The range of outcomes from my workshops will depend on the investment of time your organisation is prepared to make. Looking forward face to face for 1/2 day is a good start, a full day better and 2 days will produce significant change to those in the room.

I am proud to be an RUOK? Community Ambassador. As someone who comes from a family with a lot of mental illness, I know the difference that trusting, open, enduring, giving without hooks, ‘just being there’ relationships can make. I reassure people that they do not need to have the answers as I think that holds many back. They have to manage their own fears about not being able to help. Often that can be overcome simply by giving them practical guidance about how to start and… Show more I am proud to be an RUOK? Community Ambassador.
