Leadership, Capability & Human Centred Facilitation  
for Purpose Driven Teams, Communities & Emerging Leaders
Including small business, entrepreneurship and workforce development programs

For the past 15 years, my work has centred on supporting founders, small-business owners and women in leadership to build confidence, communication capability and self-leadership skills. This experience has shaped my human-centred approach to facilitation and learning.

I now apply this expertise across not-for-profit, community, education and small business contexts, where values-driven leadership, ethical influence and collaborative engagement are essential for meaningful outcomes. I support purpose-driven organisations, community-focused groups and emerging leaders to strengthen leadership capability, communication and confidence so they can create sustainable impact.

Supporting Small Business Owners & Founders

In addition to leadership and capability development for teams and communities, I design and facilitate structured programs for small business owners, founders and entrepreneurs. This includes multi-session group learning experiences, peer-supported masterminds and cohort-based programs integrating business capability with personal and leadership development.

These programs support founders to build confidence, clarity, resilience and practical tools to grow sustainable businesses aligned with their values.

Importantly, my background as a founder and small-business owner gives me a strong understanding of real-world pressures, decision-making and leadership complexity. This lived experience translates naturally into facilitation and training roles within education, workforce development, community and purpose-driven settings — where practical capability, confidence and communication matter as much as theory.

With 15+ years’ experience in leadership development, facilitation and adult learning, I design and deliver learning experiences that build human-centred leadership, enhance emotional intelligence and improve the way people collaborate, communicate and show up in their roles and communities.

My approach blends inclusive facilitation, psychological safety and mindset development to create supportive, practical and engaging environments where people feel safe to grow individually and together.
