  Beyond Paradigms is a business delivering coaching, communication and facilitation services to individuals and organisations, charting growth and improvement for today and a sustainable future. Beyond Paradigms works towards having everyone recognise leadership as an attribute in us all, there to be practiced and applied when we choose. Our mission is to develop tomorrows leaders through today's actions. Passionate about people and organisations striving to achieve their best through pursuit of personal development as a means to contribute to organisational evolution, we ensure activities maintain a focus on explicit and successful outcomes. My personal platform is promoting a mind set of continuous improvement for individuals and teams, using customer service as the guiding light for goal setting and decision making. As a seasoned practitioner of leadership, coaching, mentoring, facilitation and customer service, through application in technical environments, I know what approaches work best for technically minded people. Having implemented change in different environments I understand both the people and process needs required to establish a culture where change is ongoing and a normal part of both the personal and business landscape. Setting strategic goals, developing action plans, measuring performance and implementing corrective processes should things stray off course, are key to the approach I use to facilitate achieving outcomes. I extend an invitation to everyone, to OPEN YOUR MIND, EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES, CHALLENGE YOUR PARADIGMS.
