About Me
Leadership Strategist | Entrepreneur | Speaker | Writer | Crazy cat man
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by how we think, and how easily we get in our own way.
My journey across business, government, and non-profits wasn’t just a career path; it was a real-world lab. I saw how the root of so many challenges – from personal stagnation to business misalignment and even social friction – was a lack of clarity and perspective.
My core belief? Lasting change starts with a shift in thinking.
It’s not just academic for me; I practice what I preach. As the former CEO of Leadership Victoria, this practice enabled me to transform its strategy and culture in months, not years. As the Founder of ColourSpace Gallery, Australia’s first arts social enterprise, I proved that it’s possible to inject fresh thinking into workplaces whilst creating social impact for artists.
People often say that I ‘think differently’. Perhaps it’s my knack for seeing the whole system – the intricate mechanics and the human element – with deep empathy. I build trust fast, creating space for candid conversations where real breakthroughs happen.
Through my Curiosity Mindset methodology and Peopleship approach, I equip leaders to find that clarity, moving from reactive to agile.
As a speaker, facilitator, coach, and yes, a bit of a provocateur, my goal is to turn your curiosity into your strategic edge.
