In the delicate art of mentoring leaders who lead leaders, I walk alongside individuals through their triumphs and challenges, offering wise counsel with strategic intent and deep understanding. My approach embraces both integrity and delight—understanding that transformative leadership flourishes when these qualities dance together. Through personal experience, I know that mentoring creates a safe space where mutual trust grows and authentic leadership emerges. Here, leaders discover not merely how to weather storms but how to forge character that catalyses transformation—personal, organisational, and societal.
From my base in Hobart, Tasmania, I weave together communities of influence, fostering connections that transcend sectoral boundaries. This includes hosting an annual gathering which draws around 500 leaders from across government, business, and community sectors, including the Governor, Premier, and Opposition Leader.
