I work with leaders of faith in contexts of Catholic education and ministry who are looking for support, inspiration and ideas to have confidence they are guiding and equipping their communities to live out the mission effectively. If this describes your need, call me for support: +61 (0)402 827 647 (Australia).Background I have been committed to the Catholic education of young people for the last 30 years, holding leadership positions in primary, secondary and tertiary education. I am an experienced and gifted speaker and coach, a provider of unique staff formation transformation experiences, consultation and special projects. The father of six children, my professional and personal faith life have overlapped considerably, being in charge of Archdiocesan youth ministry (Melbourne), the Emmanuel School of Mission (Rome), University chaplaincy (University of Sydney), Director of Evangelisation and Catechesis for the Sydney World Youth Day (2008), and Director of Identity and Mission at the Australian Catholic University (National). With my wife Annie I brought the Emmanuel Community to Melbourne from France while I was in my twenties playing football for the Hawthorn Football Club, where I played 146 games in twelve seasons, including the victorious 1991 Premiership team. Together we run programs for married couples.I have degrees in Humanities, Education and a Masters in Theology, and have published two books, with two more on the way.The mission of my speaking and coaching business – Altum Leadership Group - is to inspire and equip good leaders to become great.
