My consulting and facilitation style is “dynamically challenging”. I am able to be thought provoking whilst providing inspiration and practical steps for leaders to create and sustain effective change. My value proposition is to help challenge all participants to leave the sessions I lead thinking and acting differently. I have recently and currently work with leading organisations in New Zealand, Australia, Pacific Islands, Asia, India, USA and Europe.
In my spare time I have completed the Global Executive MBA from the University of Sydney in partnership with Stanford, IIMB and LSE. I also hold qualifications in Advertising and Marketing, I was selected as one of 50 Future Leaders to watch in NZ and I am a Chartered Marketer through the Chartered Institute of Marketing UK.
Don’t just take my word for it! This is what recent participants had to say:
“That was a sensational workshop and you're one of the best presenters/facilitators I've seen. Everyone raved about your style.” Account Director
“We were genuinely amazed at how far we came in just 4hours! We developed and created real tangible prototypes that we have been able to move forward with across APAC” Head of Innovation
“The most mind expanding workshop I have been part of in recent memory… really bloody enjoyed it and already have a podcast playlist and reading list in train.” CEO
