Courageous Leadership Journeys tailored to you

I founded Courageous Leaders to empower leaders to find the courage to build a better world. 

With 30 years’ experience in large-scale global corporates, private equity, listed and startup businesses, I have amassed significant global experience, making me a versatile and unique leader. I’ve been recognised and awarded on multiple occasions for my transformational change work and recently as a DEI Executive Role Model, listed no. 10 with notable and prominent CEOs by the INvolve Group. I’ve mentored, coached and advised leaders and emerging leaders to achieve their unique goals.

I create a safe space to develop a deep sense of self, working through the issues that get in the way of being the best leader. I encourage dialling up core values and understanding the best practices to address emotional irregularity. 

I appreciate how:

  • the expectations of a new leadership role can be daunting,

  • experts can stumble when transitioning into leadership roles; or

  • it’s easier to stay stuck in the comfort of being an expert. 

The greatest leap forward has been enabling clients to take time to reflect, build self-awareness and be at ease with honest feedback. Looking at the person holistically, I’m a great advocate of:

  • courageous conversations 

  • mentoring emerging leaders to step into their power and confidently stride into a leadership or new Executive role 

  • helping leaders confront toxic behaviour in teams 

  • help build their authentic leadership style and purpose. 

I bring a deep experience, countless resources and tools to sessions to inspire and empower my clients to catalyse change for themselves, their team relationships and own their career path.
