People, Culture & Organisational Development Leadership

Throughout my career I have been drawn to enabling people, teams and organisations to succeed, while also managing or delivering products

Whether working in Scuba Training, First Aid Training, Learning & Development, Community Education, Product Leadership or Service Transformation roles, the common thread has been helping individuals and teams navigate change, build capability and create sustainable improvement.

My experience includes:

    • Supporting Community Education's transition towards more agile and product-led ways of working.

    • Designing and embedding new operating practices, governance approaches and planning structures.

    • Facilitating change in environments characterised by organisational uncertainty, leadership transition and competing priorities.

    • Influencing transformation without formal authority.

    • Creating capability frameworks, learning pathways and quality standards.

    • Establishing train-the-trainer approaches and scalable learning models.

    • Developing communities of practice and peer learning cultures.

    • Leading organisation-wide virtual facilitation capability during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    • Building psychologically safer team environments.

    • Supporting conflict resolution and relationship repair.

    • Introducing team charters, shared goals and reflective practices.

    • Creating conditions for collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.

    • Coaching and developing managers and product leaders.

    • Supporting teams through ambiguity, change and organisational redesign.

    • Creating opportunities for collective learning and ownership.

    • Balancing support, challenge and accountability to help individuals and teams grow.

  • A recurring theme throughout my work has been understanding that many organisational challenges are not individual performance issues but system-level issues involving structure, incentives, capability, leadership alignment and culture.

    This perspective has shaped how I approach organisational development, leadership, learning and transformation.
