Working alongside Emma Lovett as a Facilitator Coach at The Alternative Board Brisbane South West, I bring over 40 years of diverse business experience, from owning and managing small to medium-sized enterprises to holding senior leadership roles in large global corporations. Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented strategic direction, transforming high-level objectives into locally driven actions to achieve success for all stakeholders. My professional journey spans every facet of the value chain, equipping me with a comprehensive understanding of both operational and strategic business needs.

After a long and rewarding corporate career, I transitioned to running my own consultancy, where I shared my expertise with SMEs. My work focused on leadership development, succession planning, business growth and sustainability, strategic planning, continuous improvement, and lean manufacturing practices.

What drew me to The Alternative Board (TAB) was my deep commitment to helping businesses thrive and grow sustainably. At TAB, I have the incredible opportunity to combine my years of experience in leadership, coaching, and team building with a platform designed to empower business owners to unlock their true potential. As a certified coach with formal qualifications in teaching, project management, and business—and as a proud graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors—I bring not only professional expertise but also firsthand knowledge of the ups and downs of running a business. There's nothing more fulfilling than sharing what I've learned to help other business owners grow, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals. Seeing their success is what drives me every day.

For business owners considering a membership with The Alternative Board, I would say it is a worthwhile investment. The opportunity to collaborate with like-minded individuals, share challenges, and access a wealth of resources can lead to both personal and professional satisfaction—something I wish I had in my own business journey.
