Overview

I bring nearly 20+ years of business advisory experience to my facilitation work with clients. As well as the various training and team building programmes I’ve run, my facilitation experience includes co-creating strategic plans for growth, impact, business sustainability, internationalisation, succession and exit.

My facilitation approach has been refined through my work with commercial, private sector clients, both large and small, and with Not-for-Profit (NFP) purpose-driven organisations, working towards better social and environmental outcomes.

I particularly enjoy working with teams to transform team communication and address the roadblocks to organisational success. I’ve seen participants’ eyes light up when they truly get that what they contribute at work is powerful, unique, and irreplaceable within their team – lean into it, I say. For some, the realisation that strength lies in valuing differences can be life-changing.

TetraMap Facilitation

I became a Certified TetraMap Facilitator in 2013 because I saw it had potential to address an almost ubiquitous problem in business – ‘failure to implement’.

I’d seen first-hand that even the best plans are often not implemented. People say they’ll do things, then they don’t, colleagues duck for cover, they point the finger at others. Why is that?

TetraMap lets us see our behavioural preferences and understand the preferences of others. By highlighting our inter-dependency, TetraMap unlocks a pathway to success.

TetraMap is quicker to learn, easier to use, more versatile and tonnes more fun than other tools such as MyersBriggs and DISC. Its much more than a framework for behavioural profiling. It’s a reliable and rigorous approach to planning for organisational success. TetraMap enables better relationships inside and outside work.

My Approach

I’m always happy to talk to potential clients without obligation – it’s important to get a sense of what you’re looking for, while you check me out before committing.

After a short Q&A process I’m able to custom-design your facilitation so that it meets your specific needs, size of group, timing and venue.

Certain private-sector clients may qualify for government co-funding under the Regional Business Partner Network.
