I have a PhD in Organizational Psychology and am a published expert in coaching, leadership development, psychology of gender, and organizational dynamics.Renowned as a sought-after speaker, leadership coach, and mentor, my expertise lies in fostering communal leadership based on a profound understanding of gender and organizational dynamics.With a diverse background spanning academia, senior corporate leadership, organizational consulting, entrepreneurship, and community leadership, I leverage psychological and gender knowledge to develop practical strategies for bridging the gender gap in leadership and society.Currently, I am fulfilling my entrepreneurial aspirations as the Director of multiple businesses, including Geared for Growth Consulting, 6 Team Conditions Australia, and Melbourne Bellydance. I aim to inspire people to redefine the significance of work and play in their lives, encouraging them to bring their authentic selves to the workplace.In 2020, I launched the Gears, Action, Growth podcast, engaging in conversations with guests on topics concerning business culture and teams.
