Informs and guides corporates, boards and executives aiming for next level or boardroom | With a range of clients nationally and internationally, we work 1:1 or together; in person or virtually. We are based in Melbourne, Australia.

What does it mean to be a better leader? How is a personal leadership philosophy enacted? Which tactics resolve organisational challenges? Every executive in a leadership role wants to make a positive impact.

In today’s environment, the best executives and directors will be kind, considered, resilient, comforting, gracious and non-partisan. They will earn trust, ease the uncertainty and look after the wellbeing of others. They will influence people to realise ‘we’ are the solution - each and every one of us - individually and collectively. Collaboration will be more powerful than competition.

We support organisations through leadership coaching, executive review and feedback, support during and after promotions, developing a capability-based promotion profile instead of a traditional resume, preparing for board presentations and how to be board-ready or executive-team ready as part of leadership development.

A long-time advocate for diversity of identity and thinking, developing both organisational initiatives and in helping others capitalise on the value of diverse talent.

It has been a privilege to be appointed a Program Mentor by ASX-listed corporates and non-profits on developing executives for the boardroom or for community leadership.

We also work with boards and nominations committees on board composition and director selection processes.

Your coaching made a real difference and there has been a noticeable shift.

When I was told you had agreed to be the program mentor I was thrilled. I have been very fortunate in my time with the organisation. The advice and tools you helped me to develop in my role several years ago have helped me build my credibility with the Board and the organisation’s investors.

Dianne was a fantastic facilitator making you feel at ease to participate and ask questions. Her method of teasing out your thinking as to what is required in your board resume was fantastic and has given me a lot to think about.
