Citizenship is a way of living and being - it's a choice to care about each other and act when I need to. ~ Peter BlockI am currently CEO of Western Australian community services organisation, Avivo, focused on what it takes to intentionally live, breath and act in a way that honours and supports everyone to be an active citizen. Having worked alongside people and families for over 20 years, I know first hand that connection and community makes life meaningful. I am committed to developing approaches that support individuals to thrive such as coaching and person centred practice. I am discovering ways that organisations can provide environments for people to contribute fully through organisational design based on purpose and liberating practices. I am advocating for systemic change in welfare reform and community development in order to create a better world for everyone. My experience is in social innovation, strategic planning, business development, operational management and governance.
