Is the pace of change putting your people and business under pressure?
Such rapid shifts in geopolitical, economic, environmental, social and technological factors requires careful navigation and my role is to help you do that.
It’s about empowering transformation and change by creating a clear vision and gaining buy-in while paying attention to both the human and technical sides of the process.

About me
After leading high-performance teams in corporate roles, I broke out on my own to become a globally recognised expert in the purpose-driven leadership, innovation and business fields, having worked with more than a hundred clients over the past 16-years.
I’m the founder of WhyThisNow, and achievements include publishing Connecting Profit With Purpose, launching two podcasts and appearing in media such as The CEO Magazine, CPA’s InTheBlack and the AFR report on purpose in business.
But wait, there’s more!
I’m the co-founder of Purpose Ignition and the Impact Hour sustainable business event series, and an accredited ‘master facilitator’ with Janellis, a firm specialising in team-based critical thinking to help executive and leadership teams transform their performance and success.
My speaking, hosting and facilitation style is described as warm, witty and reassuring, and this is coupled with extensive experience delivering across virtual, hybrid and in-person platforms.
As a Tasmanian who migrated to Australia(!), my credits include being a singer / songwriter in a progressive folk / blues band; delivering my second child in a bathtub following my wife’s 20-minute labor; and a have a chocolate addiction attributable to a great grandfather who helped set up the Cadbury factory in Hobart in 1921.

Business Purpose Author
I’ve been featured across a range of media platforms and publish my Purpose Driven Leader newsletters via email and LinkedIn.
Connecting Profit With Purpose contains instructional case studies spread across industries and business types as well as inspiration and methods for purpose-led innovation.
On reflection, the cover is a little bland, however I like to think the diverse range of examples and accomplishments in it are beautiful!
“Commitment to social purpose is becoming a competitive advantage, and corporate leaders who want to master this approach need to read this book” – Mark Kramer, Harvard Business School
