G'day, I'm AJ

Here’s what I've noticed in workplaces, it may be happening in yours too: People are frustrated, employees are disengaged, workloads are relentless and it's getting harder to build trust while staff are zooming in from at home. Maybe you're concerned and feel fed up because it feels like you're shouldering all the responsibility.

It concerns me, so, I speak and write about it. It's challenging, but there are pathways if you're open to them. I know this can mean a different way of showing up at work and in life. And I know you're up to it.

Becoming a more conscious human leader is 100% linked to you and your company’s organisational prosperity. It’s how you’ll attract great talent, grow an amazing culture and find more balance.

My mission is simple: raise the consciousness of leaders who can have a bigger impact on the world. I choose to work with executives who are committed to sustainable cultures and creating a positive impact.

I share Daily Uptimism videos to help you get back on track, feel more focused and alive so you can become a world class leader without sacrificing your life. Over the past 25+ years, I have held various leadership roles in health, education, workplace safety and government. As an executive leader myself, I learnt first hand how balancing the demands of work and personal life can lead to stress, overwhelm and burnout.

I thought that being a great leader meant I had to sacrifice my health and my relationships. How wrong I was. I now bridge the gap between the boardroom and the bush and am passionate about coaching leaders to get ahead of the burnout bandwagon before they lose themselves. Feedback from clients suggests I have been the most profound executive leadership coach they’ve ever worked with. My clients have come from all industries and professions including government Ministers, Defence Force and health leaders and corporations such as Belkin, Yancoal, Westrac, Facebook and Essential Energy.

Named by a client as "The Bush Philosopher" I operate from my sacred Wollombi Valley property where you can join me for private or team retreats and learn how to balance your health and wealth with the wisdom of the land, indigenous cultures and ancient practices. My retreats and workshops have been described as "absolutely inspiring", "refreshing and unexpected", "grounding and affirming".
