Beacon has an established track record of helping inspire and motivate students to stay in school and increase their educational engagement and attainment, or choose a positive pathway that enables successful transition to employment, further education or training. An important part of this process is the delivery of the Beacon Foundation’s High Impact Programs.

The Business of Being Human

• Director

  • Oct 2009 - Nov 2013

  I specialise in facilitation, coaching and exploring the business of being human through an insightful and intimate public interview series called 'The Seed'. 'The Seed' is about stoking the fire of individual and collective learning potential and is a metaphor for what can be harvested and shared through the experience of one's life. To enable this, I facilitate frank, thoughtful conversations with leaders and industry experts that draw out the skills and experiences of their unique journey in career, and in life. Through the conversation, the audience gains a remarkably cogent insight into what sets that person apart and how the sum total of their experiences has contributed to make them the person they are today. The interviewee is given permission to step back and reflect on their practice in a way that they previously might not have, thereby taking them to a different viewing platform from which to analyse their choices, opportunities, failures and successes. 'The Seed' is ideal for: - Adding another dimension to an organisation's learning or change program - Showcasing a keynote speaker's story, in a unique way, at industry or business conference events - Capturing and communicating wisdom from experienced leaders at professional networking events -Creating authentic web videos to market you or your business

• Specialist Facilitator, Girls Program

  • Apr 2012 - Aug 2012

  In 2012 LifeWorks facilitated the 'Storming Towards Respect' peer mentoring program with the Melbourne Storm and Reservoir High School. Storming Towards Respect is a social mentoring program developed and facilitated by LifeWorks in collaboration with Swinburne University and Melbourne Storm. The program was designed to address school retention, family violence and develop the values of respect and responsibility in Pacific Island and Indigenous youth communities. Chosen NRL players were paired with LifeWorks' specialist facilitators and together they co-facilitated a range of activities with small groups of students. The students were selected by the school in an effort to keep them engaged in either the school program or the school-work transition programs. With a focus on opening communication channels to identify key issues that may place the students at risk, subjects such as violence, health, substance abuse, family relationships, cultural expectations and support networks were explored.
