Why I do what I do

Whatever you want to call me, you will struggle to find someone who is as passionate to help organisations make meaningful progress through the power of their people.

Few can match my depth and breadth of experience across industries and departments. I have lead teams of 1 person to 38 people in Canada and Australia (with a little stint in Cameroon and Tunisia too!). 

I have worked in various departments and environments, including: 

• marketing, sales, strategy, proposition development, risk and joint venture management
• professional and amateur sporting industry with commercial teams and high-performance teams
• community grassroots volunteer-led committees and boards 

There has been one common thread across all of my experiences - the ability to energise and inspire to make meaningful progress. Not everything I touched turned to gold, but I've tried many things and learned many lessons along the way.
My experiences in the corporate and sports world include:

• Creating new ways of working programs to drive eNPS and engagement scores;
• Maximising the return on a multi-million joint venture, sponsorship and supplier relationships in insurance, events, professional sports sponsorship and third party suppliers by creating alignment, shared objectives and win-win situations;
• Driving GM and C-suite executive endorsement on multi-million dollar initiatives;
• Awarded national sales awards
• Recipient of a global marketing award
• Facilitating change management programs for 5- 2400 employees;
• Coaching in >900 hours of 1:1 coaching as an Accredited IECL Level III Executive Coach
• Delivering personal performance improvement programs to over 500 professionals;
• Coaching elite sport, including teams that participated in the Canada Summer Games and multiple Canada Cups; 
• Leading teams involved with components of major brand launch and repositioning programs;
• Developing and executing market entry strategies across various states;
• Creating new community grassroots brands
• Establishing a start-up community coaching venture, including the invention of Ajarty Coaching Cards.
