I offer leadership and performance coaching for individuals and teams, with expertise in coaching for gender equity, transformational leadership, and successful presentations and public appearances.“How effectively we relate to ourselves and others is intimately shaped by the narrative frames we choose to encode our experience. Growth, change, leadership, and success – all of these coveted outcomes spring from the same source: an enabling story that opens the path to new thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, and connections that get us there.”

Working from this narrative coaching model, I invite clients to utilise a range of behavioural profiling tools to accelerate insights into their own and others’ strengths and development areas, communication skills, personal motivators and de-motivators, and how to build happy and committed teams.

As a former postdoctoral fellow in Philosophy at Monash University, I have published in numerous top-tier international journals and won several prizes, fellowships, and awards. My intimate knowledge of the academic world drives my successful work with university clients.

Since founding my coaching and consulting business Mind Your Way in 2011, my passion has turned to helping others achieve their own personal and professional goals.

I have coached individuals and teams for media appearances, television and job interviews, and for various high-level funding body presentations. I was elected onto RMIT’s Executive Coaching Panel in 2015, have coached on leadership development initiatives such as Monash University’s Advancing Women’s Research Success Grant and Monash’s Faculty of Arts Emerging Research Excellence Fellowship scheme, and worked with a diverse private client group.

Recent studies in Narrative Coaching with Dr David Drake, and in Conversational Intelligence with Dr Judith Glaser, have allowed me to deepen my understanding of the psychology of effective communication, audience engagement, and personal and team empowerment.

“The stories we tell about our life – our challenges, our desires, our happiness – shape the meaning we attribute to our experience. Change those stories, and you change that life.”
