Most career and workplace problems aren't really about the problem we think we're solving. Should I take this job? Why isn't my career moving? How do I deal with a difficult boss? Am I ready for a leadership role? Why does my organisation say one thing and do another? How do I become more strategic as an HR leader? I've spent 20+ years on the other side of these questions — as an HR leader working across Talent, Organisation Effectiveness, Performance, Leadership, Employee Experience and HR Transformation, across multiple industries. I've hired leaders. Built talent systems. Worked on transformations. Sat in leadership rooms. Seen careers accelerate — and stall. And experienced first-hand the gap between how organisations are supposed to work and how they actually work. Today, I use that experience to help people think through the decisions and situations that don't come with a neat playbook. I can help if you're: • Considering a career move and want an experienced sounding board • Preparing for a senior HR / leadership interview • Trying to move from HR execution to strategic leadership • Navigating a difficult boss, team, stakeholder or workplace situation • Figuring out your next career move • Looking to understand your leadership strengths and blind spots • Trying to make sense of organisational politics, power and culture • Building or transforming Talent / HR practices and want a practitioner's perspective My approach is straightforward: no motivational speeches, no generic frameworks and no pretending there is one right answer. I'll ask the uncomfortable questions, bring the perspective of someone who has been in the room, and help you arrive at a decision that makes sense for your situation. If you don't need advice, that's fine too. Sometimes you just need someone experienced enough to help you see the situation differently.
