Facilitator for Leadership & Culture Change in Melbourne

Helping Teams Communicate Better & Collaborate More Effectively

I design and facilitate experiential workshops for organisations across Melbourne and Australia.

My work helps leadership teams and staff groups strengthen communication, build trust and create cultures where people can do their best work.

I work with corporate and NFP organisations who want more than a standard training session — they want meaningful change.

What Makes This Different?

creative approach

My background spans over 20 years in theatre, applied improvisation and inclusive performance practice alongside organisational facilitation.

This means:

Sessions are highly engaging and participatory
People don’t sit back - they experience the learning
Emotional intelligence is developed, not just discussed
Complex issues can be explored safely and honestly

Participants often describe the work as energising, disarming and unexpectedly practical.

How Engagements Work

Formats include:

Half-day and full-day workshops
Multi-session leadership programs
Executive team facilitation
Internal comms strategy sessions
Conference and event facilitation

I work across Melbourne and regional Victoria, and travel nationally when required.

Discuss with me

I’ll start with the ‘why’ and ask what learning and community-building outcomes you want for your group and the context of the project. We’ll also talk through the logistics of who, what, where & when and I’ll provide you with a quote.

Program Design

Once we’ve discussed the needs of your organisation and the participants I will move to the ‘how’. If needed, I can collaborate with you to design the program and find fresh ways to deliver material that you’ve already developed. I will then present you with a program design for your feedback.

Delivery

I'll deliver the session that we planned in a way that is truly energised, supportive, flexible & responsive.

We will evaluate the program and gather feedback to inform future work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a facilitator actually do?

A facilitator designs and guides structured conversations that help groups think clearly, engage honestly and move forward with alignment.

Do you customise workshops?

Yes. Every engagement is designed in response to your specific context, goals and challenges.

How long are sessions?

Most workshops are half-day or full-day, and multi-session programs are common for leadership teams.

Do you work with both corporate and NFP organisations?

Yes. I work across both sectors and understand the distinct cultural and operational pressures within each.

Do you work outside Melbourne too?

Yes. I work mostly in Melbourne and regional Victoria, but I also travel nationally and internationally when required. I'm an active parent, so short stints away from home are my preference.

How do you measure impact?

I clarify desired outcomes at the beginning of each engagement and design sessions to move toward those specific behavioural or cultural shifts. I love thorough evaluation, so if you'd like more than a feedback survey at the end, I'm alrady on board!
