Business & Board Advisory

Clear thinking. Courageous conversations. Better decisions.

My role is to sit alongside boards and business leaders as a trusted advisor — helping them think clearly, act courageously, and align people, culture and strategy so the organisation can move forward with confidence.

This isn’t theoretical. It’s shaped by years in boardrooms, small businesses, community organisations and not-for-profits — often in seasons of pressure, change or uncertainty.

I work with boards, CEOs and business owners who want to strengthen both performance and integrity — not one at the expense of the other.

My advisory work typically focuses on:

  • Board effectiveness & maturity
    Strengthening governance, role clarity, decision-making and healthy tension in the room.
  • Strategy with people at the centre
    Translating vision into executable strategy that people actually understand and own.
  • Culture, behaviour & accountability
    Addressing the unspoken dynamics that quietly shape performance, engagement and trust.
  • Vision, values & alignment
    Helping organisations articulate what truly matters — and embed it beyond posters and documents.
  • Leadership under pressure
    Supporting chairs, directors and executives to lead well in complexity, conflict and transition.

Often the real work isn’t about what‘s on the agenda — it’s about how decisions are made, how power is held, and how courage shows up in the room.

My advisory work is informed by over two decades across:

  • Chairing and serving on boards and advisory boards
  • Working closely with small and mid-sized business owners
  • Long-term partnerships with businesses like BPS Resolved, Andreyev Lawyers & CBA and others
  • Supporting leaders through growth, restructure, crisis and transition
  • Extensive experience across corporate, community, not-for-profit and social impact sectors
  • Deep cross-cultural leadership work, particularly through Cambodia

I’m a business coach, leader consultant & strategist, author and keynote speaker with a passion for building high-performance cultures—on the field and in the boardroom. As founder of Be Leaders and Be Academy, I’ve worked with hundreds of leaders, teams, and organisations across Australia, Cambodia, Pakistan, and New Zealand. My approach blends behavioural leadership with practical, real-world application—helping people lead with clarity, courage, and consistency. Whether it’s equipping executive teams, supporting emerging leaders, or transforming sports squads, I’m committed to creating environments where people thrive—not by chance, but by design. My work focuses on the core behaviours that drive leadership impact: communication, curiosity, alignment, accountability and trust. From senior executives to frontline managers, I help individuals lead with purpose—and help organisations unlock what’s possible when leadership behaviour shifts.
