I established 3Minds because I know firsthand the struggle of balancing the personal and the professional. I have over two decades of experience working in senior management within the public, private and community sectors and I boast deep expertise in strategically developing and growing individuals and organisations.

​

I hold a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Majoring in Psychology (Clinical) and Philosophy, a Graduate Diploma of Community Sector Management (Non-Profit/Public/Organisational Management). 

 

I am passionate about supporting and transforming professionals and teams and am an International Coaching Federation Member and Coach.

​

I have 20+ years of proven experience transforming individuals, teams, and organisations where I have specialised in business development and coaching for organisations, entrepreneurs, managers and senior executives across the public, private, and community sectors.

I offer all these skills and expertise, but the greatest thing I can offer is showing you the capacity to do all this without sacrificing your mental or physical health. I consider my greatest achievement to be the accomplishments I achieved alongside my professional career: training for boxing at a professional level, raising my kids as a single parent, and continually working on my mental health. My standout skills, and in extension what makes 3Minds special, is that we not only support you in your professional endeavours, but we do it in a way that supports your own physical and mental health.​

​​

As an experienced leadership development professional I can support professionals and organisations with broad and individualised consulting and coaching support with expertise in:

 

  • Start-ups

  • Coaching

  • Wellbeing

  • Leadership development

  • Team Building

  • Strategy

  • Business Development

  • Policy and Procedure Development

  • Accreditation

  • Submission and Grant Writing

  • Diversity and Inclusion

  • Mental Health

  • Disability

​

I absolutely love supporting people to find their passion and achieve their goals and offer a supportive approach, working closely with you to ensure our services are personalised and aligned with your own ambitions.

 

Get in contact if you would like to know how I can work with you and your teams, either individually or in worksite settings, to achieve your desired goals. ​
