I bring over 25 years’ experience as a facilitator, consultant, leadership coach and speaker, developing leaders at all levels to use a coaching approach in all their conversations. I am passionate about coaching and applying Solution Focus approaches in everyday interactions with experience in many industry sectors, including – Construction, Education, Pharmaceutical, Financial Services and Government. I have been in learning and development and organisational development roles in the finance sector where I led successful culture wide programs for major firms. I have also worked in a consulting capacity for the last 16 years with a global Coaching Training organisation.
With over 25 years working as a facilitator, trainer and coach in both global companies and in academia, I strive to better understand and master the art of leading useful and mindful interactions. In recent years I have devoted most of my time in designing and facilitating 6-12 month leadership programmes.
Unlike Obelix, I have not fallen into the Druid’s cauldron at a young age. I had to learn and experiment with SF, one assumption at a time. Discovering this approach in 2005 has fundamentally transformed the way I work with my clients and I trust that SFiO can support leaders and organisations across all cultures to lead change more effectively.
