I am obsessed with communication. My career has been a deep dive into how communication goes wrong, why it matters, and what it takes to get it right.

Through roles as a cadet reporter with The Northcote Leader to Senior Producer of the Jon Faine program on ABC Radio; from spin doctor for client companies who were getting too much attention to adviser to those who weren’t getting enough; and from CEO of a national issues management firm to Executive Director Communications at The Royal Children’s Hospital, I have learned how the things people do and do not say shape perceptions and relationships, enable and disable achievement, and make and break reputations.

In the past, I have worked at the organisational level. I have media trained leaders, and designed campaigns to help them win support for difficult decisions. I have supported businesses to avert and recover from reputational crises. And in the work that has held the most meaning for me, I have led projects to transform workplace culture and keep staff connected, confident and productive during change.

Now, I continue to partner with organisations but my focus is on individuals and teams.
I coach communications specialists to hone their craft, build influence and have the kind of impact they have always wanted to have.

And I show managers how to unlock success – for themselves, their team, their manager and the business – by learning to communicate for impact. The program is called Game Changers and you can read more about it, here.
