"Creative people do leadership differently. 

As the Owner of Craft Coaching and Development, I work with women and men across Australia to help identify, enhance their leadership skills using creativity as our guiding principle.
We bring 10 years of corporate leadership development tools to small business, creative people and organisations we feel passionate about.

As a creative and passionate business leader, my whole career has been dedicated to nurturing and developing creative leadership. I have worked with professional service firms, the banking industry, community organisations, the energy industry, natural disaster relief, education and state and federal government bodies.
We enjoy bringing the power of creativity and a growth mindset to businesses and organisations, hopefully making the world a better place in some small way."
