As an agent for change to peace, my focus is guiding community members, leaders of people and anyone who is feeling stress and overwhelm, to reconnect to the one source of power that exists within each of us, the heart.

It is time to shift beyond brave or courageous leadership, to a practice that considers the wisdom of the heart.

I have climbed the corporate ladder, one rung at a time, I have smashed through multiple glass ceilings, embarrassingly been the “first woman to” … and along the way I have learnt that being brave and courageous wasn’t an easy solution. Instead, I developed a way of leading that is heart centered.

Traversing a broad spectrum of industries, I flourished in multiple sectors such as financial services, banking, accounting, financial strategy, strategic planning, organisational transformation, systems development, continuous improvement initiatives and governance. I have had the fortune to work in global organisations, internationally and in Australia.

I have learned many lessons along the way, and one key learning was that I always wanted be the person to find the solution to the problem, “the fixer”. That just left me exhausted and teams frustrated that I would take over.

Shifting my leadership intention to my natural and heart centered approach recognises that every one deserves the opportunity to contribute. My role is merely to facilitate, guide, support and release obstacles where I can.

I have led at all levels of the traditional organisational hierarchy and know the challenges that exist within each of them.

I am a business owner, experienced Director, ladder holder, cheerleader to my family, friends and colleagues, encourager, collaborator, Executive, challenger, disco diva, wholehearted traveler, leader for peace, champion for sustainable leadership, retired rower and dressage queen, writer, connector of the invisible thread, story teller and lover of books.

If letters are important to you, here are a few that I am proud to hold.
