I am a highly skilled speaker, coach, and educator in the fields of leadership development, personal effectiveness, and mindfulness. I'm known for my high energy and empathic approach to working with individuals and teams, creating an environment of fun and deep engagement. My approach is based on the fact that learning and performance are both state dependent – meaning if you’re not in the right emotional space your ability to learn and achieve is impaired. This is why I work with the whole person in everything I do, to bring forth the very best in themselves.I have over 20 years’ leadership and consulting experience in the government sector, “for purpose” organisations (not-for-profits), and large corporates. I've held senior leadership roles at leading New Zealand financial institutions, ranging from learning, organisation development, strategy, and change management.I'm a life-long learner, holding a Master of Arts (1st Class Honours) and numerous professional qualifications in agile ways of working, change management, programme management and more. I bring a rigorous focus on the science behind all that I speak about and teach. I remain a practitioner of mindfulness and meditation having discovered it 15 years ago.
Listed skills include Change Management, Strategy, Stakeholder Management, Management, and 17 others.
