“For the past 25 years, I have thrived as a creative and commercial Executive, leading & coaching talent in corporate environments. Being in the C-Suite has given me direct access to some incredible talent in the technology, banking, payments, wealth management, creative and retail industries.
My foundation in communicating with influence started during my early media career as a radio announcer. It was here I first learned the importance of clarity in messaging, along with the power a good speaker holds, and how anyone can develop this.
Executive life has exposed me to many different leadership styles and behaviours. There isn’t much I haven’t seen – the good, the bad and the plain ugly! My ‘superpower’ is successfully empowering individuals across entrepreneurial, corporate and not-for-profit environments.
We will work together to:
Improve your communication
Manage difficult people and challenging situations
Grow your confidence and set actionable goals
Transition you into a new role, new industry, or new career.
The cycle of self-reflection, learning and growth never lays dormant in great leaders; nor does having guidance from the right people. I look forward to learning about your career journey and how I can be your coaching partner so you can reach the potential that already exists within you.”
