When you get me away from enjoying a Hawkes Bay Merlot while supervising the 12 hour cook on the Weber, I can be found helping teams achieve excellence.

After 20 years leading teams, projects of all sizes and complexities and organisations achieving success I still get a kick out of seeing clients reach their goals.  I know it may sound a bit cheesy, but seeing teams take the ideas I share with them and make it their own is a successful day for me.

Since my days as an Occupational Therapist, my career has taken me all around New Zealand, working for a range of organisations including District Health Boards, Not for Profits, Primary Care organisations and the private sector. Now I am well and truly ingrained across all sectors, I am comfortable in a suit (though it doesn’t get too much air time) or chucking on the PPE gear and my fluro safety vest for a session in a factory.  I can now reflect on success in anything from a fabrication business, mechanical repair business, GP practice, retail team and a rehabilitation service.

It is about creating the right mindset, having great leadership - all the rest falls into place.  I am passionate that there is never a one size fits all solution for every business. During the journey, I learn as much as my clients.  What a journey!
