Biography
I currently run leadership workshops across the globe, specifically in the areas of safety, change and cultural alignment. Alongside my leadership development activities are services in analysing workplace culture. With the ability to turn the theoretical in behavioural, I enjoy facilitating in large groups and have a down to earth approach embedded in my rural upbringing.Previous vocations include working as a therapist with a specialisation in hypnosis and cognitive behaviour therapy. Prior to my work as a psychologist was working within the Australian army and then working as a "jackeroo" in the Australian outback.
Currently I can be found undertaking research as part of a broader committee or travelling across the country in preparation of my next work adventure.
