AI. Ageism. Climate Change. Protein. Attempting to do a chin up with no assistance before the end of 2026.

They are just some of the things happening in my world right now - and potentially, some of the words floating around in your world, too. Well, maybe not the chin up.

Some 10+ years ago, I launched my first consultancy business, Rise365, which set out to help people and organisations change for good. That premise has not left me. Under Rise365, I worked with clients like DFES, Rio Tinto, City of Mandurah, Biota, Department of Environment, plus a ton of start-ups and leaders.

I wrote a best-selling book that made the Top 20 list in Australia on Amazon, and also was a finalist in the Australian Business Book Awards (although it’s more about resiliency than business).

Then the c-word virus that shall not be named hit us all globally and my business, like many other businesses, so back to being an employee I went for some fantastic organisations like MEGT where my love of seeing capability be developed was re-ignited.

Peppered in along the way, I wrote another book (not so successful), and delivered a TEDx speech on the importance of language and communication.

I even ended up going full circle, and being approached by one of the first ever start up participants from the National Award Winning program I designed and delivered to be their Director of Operations whilst the business owners went off travelling.

And then, thanks to my business powers of building capability in people, systems, structures and financial rigour, I inadvertently Nanny McPhee’d myself redundant.

So here I am ready to support you, your team, or your community in creating positive change.

And yes, we can certainly talk about ageism, AI, and protein and how it is impacting people capability, if that’s your jam.
