My Vision
The commonly heard phrase that “people are a company’s greatest asset” has never completely resonated with me. In my view, people are not assets, FTEs, or resources. They are individuals, and to bring out their best, certain essential conditions must be in place. I firmly believe that an organisation flourishes and succeeds when it has the right individuals in the right roles, leveraging their strengths, contributing to the mission, and aligned towards achieving common goals. While this sounds straightforward, achieving it is often challenging.
At Human Collective, people are at the core, embracing both our similarities and differences. I assist businesses in thriving by partnering with them to elevate “the people side of things,” creating a workplace where individuals feel energised on Sunday evenings at the thought of Monday mornings ahead.
My Approach
I approach my work with curiosity, empathy, and a non-judgemental attitude, placing emphasis on active listening and gaining a full understanding of my clients’ needs before suggesting any solutions. I enjoy facilitating group discussions, steering conversations towards productive outcomes, and, when necessary, acting as a mediator to help achieve positive results.
Clients often describe me as passionate, professional, experienced, pragmatic, and straightforward. I take pride in gaining a deep understanding of your business and desired outcomes, while providing dedicated support throughout every stage of our collaboration.
About Me
My professional experience: With over 20 years as a senior Human Resources leader in corporate environments across diverse industries such as Financial Services, Telecommunications, Retail, Advertising, Publishing, Manufacturing, Engineering, Recycling, Mining, and Primary Industries, I bring a wealth of experience and a best-practice approach to support your business needs. My consulting background further enhances my ability to provide up-to-date and effective solutions.
My skills and knowledge: I have extensive expertise in Human Resources, Organisational Development, Talent Management, and Change Management, among other areas. Committed to continuous growth, I recently completed studies with Stanford Executive Online while continuing my studies to become a Globally Accredited Certified Diversity Professional (CDP) through The Society of Diversity. I leverage Capgemini Change Management Training and Transformational Coaching methodologies from Coach Masters Academy to ensure sustainable and impactful change for the companies and individuals I work with.
My lived experience: I have been fortunate to work and live in different parts of the world. I have loved experiencing different cultures and connecting with people from many walks of life. I’ve heard their stories, shared their experiences and seen the opportunity to make things better for them, their colleagues and their organisations.
Giving back: I am a proud member of the Project Jonah Board and a volunteer mentor with the Graeme Dingle Foundation. Both not for profits are close to my heart and I’m delighted to be able to offer my time and experience to such worthwhile causes.
