AS AN INVESTOR, FRACTIONAL CEO AND STRATEGIST, I CATALYZE WILDLY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES.
Innovative. Strategic. Candid.
As a much sought-after business coach and speaker, my goal during presentations is to engage, enlighten, educate and inspire. Attendees will walk away with actionable advice they can use to achieve exceptional professional and personal growth.
My vast range of experiences includes growing a business to 65 franchises across Australia and New Zealand, co-creating and launching a sustainably farmed milk brand sold in 443 supermarkets and creating a nonprofit that made a difference to 19,000 teenagers, many of whom were underprivileged or at-risk.
Even after having worked on every type of business imaginable over the last three decades, I still have an ever-burning fire to help others achieve their visions and financial freedom through their businesses.
Over the past few decades, I’ve delivered workshops, training sessions, and seminars for a wide variety of professionals working in burgeoning startups to established corporations.
Every day I am inspired by my client’s successes and how they’ve been able to live their dreams. No matter the event, I strive to share some of that same inspiration with whoever I have the opportunity to speak to.
I pride myself in being able to “create something from nothing”, in other words, taking a concept or an idea and turn that into a living, breathing, funded, successful enterprise. Through speaking engagements, I aim to inspire others to do the same and optimize their impact in local and global communities.

What is Strategy and Why is it so Important?
Most people think they understand what a business strategy is, but most people get it wrong. They’ll jump a few steps ahead and start with something like designing a logo.

Context comes before content and is the foundation upon which an entire business is built.
Why YOU Matter to Your Business
Your business is a reflection of you - the good, the bad and the ugly. Everything that is great about you will show up in your business. Everything that is not-so-great about you will also show up in your business. For example, if a founder is really rigid and uptight, then the way they deliver customer service might be rigid and strict. It’s critical to understand who you really are and how you want your business to reflect important aspects of you as a person.

How to Achieve Exponential Growth
The past-present loop ensures that you’re stuck in some sort of Groundhog Day situation, where you’ll keep seeing similar results over and over again and be limited by past performance. What we REALLY want is to be in the powerful future-present loop. In this scenario, the future will determine how you operate in the present. You’ll consistently strategize and execute based on how you want your future to look.
Thriving in Turbulent Times
