WORK WITH ME

GOVERNMENT WORKSHOPS

Team Building and Plannings Days that are actually engaging. Build relationships, improve your culture, get clear on your priorities and elevate your team planning day.

GENDER EQUITY

Research proves women in leadership add value to the bottom line. Diverse, inclusive teams have improved performance and innovation. You can’t afford to leave out half the workforce.

FACILITATION

A seamless, memorable workshop with your technical content. Engage the room to achieve your desired outcomes. No more wasted time and effort; get to the good stuff fast.

COACHING

Maximise your current role with more money, flexibility or interesting projects. Learn how to ask for what you want – and get it.

What People Say

There's no way we could have got the outcomes we did without your excellent engagement in collaboratively designing and running the workshop. Your ability to think on your feet and quickly restructure the workshop (more than once) in response to unexpected events was particularly valuable.

Department of the Environment and Energy

Sam guided me and the CEO brilliantly so that we had an insightful and honest discussion interspersed with some hard hitting and fascinating facts provided by Sam. The result was an engaging session that 1,000 employees globally enjoyed and was so positively received that we asked Sam to deliver Unconscious Bias training to our senior managers.

CPO Credit Corp Group

Sam was wonderful to work with: she quickly got across the issues and desired outcomes and made things exceptionally easy in the preparation. Her engaging style and her ability to steer and direct conversations in a way that let everybody be heard was wonderful.

CEO ASSA

Thank you again for yesterday, was such a great day – you are excellent at what you do!

Department of Industry

I have been more engaged today, than in any other workshop in my ten years in government.

About Me

about me

I believe that our people are our number one asset, and we need to constantly remember the human aspect of bringing people to work. Spending 8-10 hours a day in the office means that if you have a bad work culture, you have a bad life. And we all deserve to enjoy what we do (and who we do it with) every day.

I'm passionate, engaged, and have 18 years experience in analysis, facilitation and consulting. I'm at home speaking on stage, and love bringing a room full of people together for a common cause.

In a past life, I was the Head of Risk and Data at Origin Energy, so I understand what it's like to be a workshop participant - what makes them work and what makes them fail - and the importance of bringing real value to everything I do.

My experience spans strategy, planning and diversity & inclusion. I have worked with corporate and government clients using instructional design principles and engaging the heads, hearts and hands of groups of up to 200 participants.

I am passionate about making organisations more human, through conversation, connection and community.

With a young son, an adventurous spirit and a passion for making the world a more equal place, I've got a lot of energy to make things happen.
