MEI BAsc CEC
Championing you as an individual is what I am truly passionate about.
I excel at identifying what makes you unique and bringing out your very best – it's a natural gift I've honed over decades.
What truly excites me are those breakthrough "Aha" moments when you suddenly see the amazing talents you possess and say:
​
"All my life I've assumed everyone was
able to do that?" or
"Doesn't everyone think that way – is that
really unique to me?"
It's that challenge of helping you 'flip the script' … from focusing on weaknesses and what's wrong with you … to focusing instead on your potential and promise. I specialise in amplifying your natural talents and strengths – things you were gifted with at birth.
My Unique Approach
My approach to career coaching is deeply personalised because I understand that everyone has their own distinct blueprint for success. I have an innate ability to quickly spot the talents others possess and see how to best align those talents to the work they do, so they can truly thrive.
I'm fascinated by the future and what could be – not just for organisations, but for you as an individual.
I create vivid, inspiring visions of your career possibilities and help you see multiple pathways to get there.
When challenges arise, I instinctively generate creative alternatives and help you explore your options to find the best path forward.
My commitment to your success runs deep. When I say I'll help you achieve your career goals, you can count on me to follow through. I take ownership of your journey and will persist until we unlock your potential together.
Two Decades of Transforming Teams and Careers
For over two decades, I've been fortunate to gain experience across large corporates, start-ups, and small businesses in leadership roles – managing digital product teams and overseeing large cross-functional delivery teams.
This diverse experience has sharpened my ability to see how different people can work together productively and how to customise approaches for maximum impact.
At Sensis (Yellow Pages Digital), leading the Digital Product Team allowed me to perfect the art of building high-performing teams with outstanding collaboration, productivity, innovation, communication, and trust between individuals.
At Deakin University as Head of Digital Product, I optimised my strengths coaching and cross-functional team building expertise while managing the student digital experience.
This culminated in rolling out a department-wide Strengths Coaching program across three cross-functional delivery teams, plus adopting a 1:1 Strengths Coaching practice.
Throughout my career, I've developed a reputation for transforming 'broken' teams – where team members still refer to our time together as the highlight of their own careers. I have a knack for quickly assessing complex team dynamics and reorganising people and resources for maximum effectiveness.
My Greatest Transformation
Perhaps my most significant transformation has been transitioning from fast-paced corporate life to becoming a mother of two beautiful girls alongside my husband, Tim.
After having kids, I became obsessed with designing the work-life I wanted, that truly aligned to who I was.
This led me to make my own successful career transition into full-time coaching – my second major career shift (the first was in my 20s, then this one in my 40s). There is no greater feeling than achieving alignment between your innate talents and the work you do. In this sweet spot is where you 'Find Your Magic'.
Why I'm Passionate About Continuous Growth
I have an insatiable desire to learn and continuously improve, which means I'm always expanding my knowledge to better serve you. I thrive on discovering new approaches, techniques, and insights that can help unlock your potential. The process of learning energises me, which translates into fresh, innovative strategies for your career development.
I regularly invest in professional development, staying current with the latest career coaching methodologies and industry trends. This commitment to growth ensures you're receiving cutting-edge guidance tailored to today's evolving workplace.
What Clients Experience Working With Me
Over my career, those who have worked with me have shared:
"You make everyone feel valued, supported, and heard, giving them a voice & creating space for them to think and speak."
"You're a guiding light, providing insights into our strengths and how to amplify them - coaching us on how to thrive and live our best life."
"What you see is what you get, you bring your whole self. You're open, honest and vulnerable when you need to be."
"A creative and strategic thinker that's able to bring this out in others, creating collaborative and safe environments."
"You bring humour and fun, and your presence lightens up any space."
What You Can Expect
When you work with me, you'll experience someone who:
Sees your individual potential with remarkable clarity and helps you understand your unique value proposition
Creates customised career strategies based on your specific talents, goals, and circumstances
Generates innovative solutions when you feel stuck, offering multiple pathways forward
Remains committed to your success with unwavering dedication and follow-through
Envisions your future possibilities and helps you create actionable plans to achieve them
Continuously evolves our approach based on the latest insights and your changing needs
Whether you're seeking your first major career transition, feeling stuck in your current role, or ready to step into leadership, I'm here to help you discover and amplify what makes you uniquely powerful.
When I'm not transforming people and their careers, you'll find me hanging upside down on a silk at Aerial Yoga, coaching Water Polo, tending to my abundance of indoor plants, or simply walking our very cheeky Red Heeler, Roy.
Keep following that Inkling.

Why the Polar Bear?
You'll benefit from the polar bear spirit when I'm coaching you...
Polar bears symbolise strength, power and are natural born leaders.
Their spirit comes to your aid when you feel faint of heart - when the challenges in life can be overwhelming. The polar bear brings renewed courage and self determination.
They are patient and always making steady progress towards their goals, focussing on their chosen path without getting distracted - guiding you to be fearless and always forward-moving.
Like the polar bear, I'm observant and adaptable, seeing what others miss. In most cultures, their appearance represents a fresh start, good luck and abundance.
Know that I will bring Polar bear spirit to every interaction we have.
