Hello and thank you for stopping by.

​​​​

I'm an award-winning author and accredited work futurist (SOON Futures) who routinely speaks to audiences about how we can build our adaptive intelligence to be an active player in shaping the future of work.

​

My goal is to inspire leaders & learners at every level to be an active player in change—to be future-ready for what's coming next. I do this through simple tactics, small habits, and powerful stories that remind us how capable we really are.

 

For the past decade, I’ve designed and delivered leadership programs that build adaptability at scale and strengthen personal agency inside teams. 

​​

My first book, Future Fit (2019), was awarded Australian Business Book of the Year and shortlisted at the UK Business Book Awards. My second book, Adapt (2025), won the Australian Career Book Award for 2025, and focuses on four high-AQ habits to lead change more effectively. 

 

Before moving into leadership and capability work, I spent 17 years as a television news reporter & producer based in Australia and Washington, D.C., covering breaking news for major media outlets (Thomson Reuters, Al Jazeera English, Network Seven). I also worked on advocacy campaigns (Save Darfur) and humanitarian aid, helping to secure USAID and U.S. State Department grants to support reconstruction in Iraq, Afghanistan, Jordan, and Georgia.
