  • Feb 2017 - Present

  I'm a director, a speaker, communications leader and coach with a passion for helping people in real ways. I started the company - Inspire Affect - to revolutionise the way the world communicates with team-building workshops, personal development mentoring, and inspiring speeches. Inspire Affect exists to help us all understand each other. It's with this understanding that: - we will work well together - have empathy for each other - we will be more successful and purposeful in our lives, our careers, our relationships. Why connect with me? The development solutions I offer have over the past decade received international acclaim, recognised for the ability to effectively transform the way people think, feel and communicate on a daily basis. Interpersonal communication skills are the critical foundation for our personal and professional relationships, they help us in all areas of our lives (e.g. personal relationships with our partner, friends and family, as well as at work with our colleagues, managers and customers) yet most people never invest in developing these skills! Find out how I've helped thousands of people in real ways, improving relationships and reducing the everyday stresses of dealing with ‘difficult people’. We all know great communicators who have achieved success and happiness because they connect well with others. I can travel just about anywhere in person or online so get in touch with me today to find out how I can help you become more successful at what you do.

  • Jan 2015 - Present

  "You can change your world by changing your words." - Joel Osteen. Coming from a background of communication and stakeholder liaison in the industry of road maintenance, I am on a new exciting journey in Australia & New Zealand and have joined the talented DOTS team to help others to be able to communicate effectively with anyone in their lives, both professional and personal. What is DOTS? DOTS is a simple but very effective team building communication tool that allows you to quickly predict someone's thinking and behavioural strategies. We have people in NZ and Australia who are licensed to deliver the 1 day Get Dotted training programme. Check out www.dotscommunication.com Why have I joined the DOTS team? Because out of everything I have been involved with in my life, helping others seems to be the most rewarding work I've done. Being able to communicate well with everyone you meet (not just the ones you get along with), to be understood, and to be able to respond in a way that others understand is a skill that is quite often unrecognised and under-valued, but has the ability to change a persons life (and those around them). If I can help organisations and individuals to change their world through the way they communicate, then I'm doing a job worth working for.
