My interest and training in facilitation and leadership development has paralleled my passion for the ocean and environmental sustainability since the early 1990s. I’ve worked as a corporate coach, community facilitator and have qualifications in multiple individual, team and organisational development approaches including: leadership development framework (Harthill), PRINT (Paul Hertz group) and Holacracy.

In 2008 I published a report based on research into the role of coaching in enabling organisations to make progress towards ecological and social sustainability outcomes and subsequently presented the findings at conferences and applied it in my coaching work. I continue to apply and evolve my learning in work with individuals, teams and large multi-stakeholder initiatives.
