My professional background spans 20 years of commercial roles in marketing, sales and finance.   This  has given me strong insight into the daily pressures, distractions and demands on today’s “knowledge worker”.  I love to understand what drives people, their wants, needs and inner fire.  My passion is helping others learn new ways to approach work and life.  In the process I am also continually learning.

Since becoming a Productivity Ninja my professional (and personal) life improved dramatically.  My Inbox is Zero, I am more present, in the moment and I enjoy the workflow approach to achieving more and stressing less.

I have university qualifications in Business and Marketing.  And, although a bit random, I also have qualifications in Yogic Studies.   If nothing else…it is a good conversation starter.

My personal passions also include yoga, mountain biking and nature.

Since 2007 I have been Director and Principal of my own business, Aurora People. I have facilitated hundreds of coaching sessions and many leadership programs with some of the largest organisations in Australia. Prior to that, I have 14 years experience working in Steiner Education. And…many moons ago gained an Engineering Degree however realised that this was not my true calling.

Graham’s book and a Think Productive workshop changed the way I work and how I approach my daily life. I became more focussed, happier and found myself getting more done. With the massive impact this had on my life, I committed to train with Think Productive UK and become a qualified “Ninja”. Now I am facilitating Ninja workshops in Australia and enjoying the process of constant growth.

My passions are bike riding (for transport and also off-road), the Australian bush and paragliding.

With over 30 years working in major corporations around the world, I’ve worked in a diverse range of industries; FMCG Food, Pet Care, Medical Research and the
Restaurant Industry. With a degree in Biological Sciences, I love working in strategic development, innovation and marketing in strongly collaborative
environments.

In 2009, I realised that there is more to life than just work! I used to thrive in corporate roles that had high levels of stress, in action-orientated cultures, I was driven to achieve results that were often unrealistic. Then I got sick. Twice! Stress takes its toll and can really impact on every part of your life.

Productivity Ninja changed the way I work and I find there is time in my day for some much more – I’m now happily balancing 2 businesses, my family and my other
major passion, Scuba Diving. It’s now possible and I’m loving my life. I‘m most passionate about combining creative and strategic thinking but you can
be sure that there is nothing that works better to kill both creativity and strategy than being bogged down by day-to- day interruptions, just managing your inbox and
the pressure to be perfect/wonder woman/or just plain get stuff done.

That’s why I’m loving teaching people Productivity Ninja thinking. It’s truly life-changing.

I love the concept of the Productivity Ninja because it instantly gives people the tools and strategies to deal with the varied circumstances that spring up at work on a daily basis.  Things like having too much to do or being taken off track, how to get refocused, and how to manage our attention.

For more than a decade I’ve trained, coached and professionally developed thousands of business people within organisations you would recognise as household names.

I’ve worked with senior executives and their PA’s, GM’s, Team Leaders, sales departments, office staff, manufacturing personnel and even the receptionist on occasion.

I’ve helped thousands of individuals and dozens of teams overcome a variety of work related issues and challenges, including team related, time related, task related and general work management issues. I’m passionate about helping individuals to thrive no matter what the challenge. I hope that we get a chance to meet and work together soon!
