I am a values-based strategic and corporate communications specialist with extensive experience in media management, issues/crisis communications and planning, and stakeholder (internal/external) engagement. I care about people, and value fairness and trust, and my approach to communications follows those traits, with an emphasis on transparency, integrity, and leading through change to provide the best possible experience and outcomes for all impacted stakeholders.I have played a key role in managing critical changes requiring broad and intricate communications planning and execution to ensure strategically-aligned outcomes for public-facing, high-profile organisations that attract government, industry, and community interest, expectations, and attention. I have experience in people management, leading projects, and collaborating with - and leading the coordination of - teams of peers.I began my professional career as a journalist for News Corp, covering international and national events, before moving into communications, in which I discovered the meaningful work and subsequent passion of supporting an organisation and people in achieving goals.I constantly nurture my passions outside of work, which led me to research, write, and self-publish my late father's biography over a period of seven years, and I was grateful that persistence resulted in The Legend from Bruce Rock: The Wally Foreman Story becoming a national bestseller. I then spent three years developing a daily journal system that supports people in becoming the best version of themselves through evidence-based tools and strategies that focus on goalsetting, mindset, and wellbeing, and launched Story of My Life Journal in late 2021.I am a husband, a father, a multi-award-winning journalist, a bestselling author, and a small business entrepreneur who thrives in supporting others in achieving their goals.
