We help companies elevate engagement and performance during times of change by providing their leaders and teams with actionable, science-based and commercially sound strategies to insulate their mindset and enhance people-centric cultures. We’ve supported Fortune 500s across the globe including Microsoft, Proctor & Gamble, Electrolux & JP Morgan, empowering teams to thrive during these turbulent times. – ABOUT ME – I combine commercial savviness, a passion for people and 10+ years of corporate experience to breathe life into the human aspect of business. Having spent countless hours with hundreds of teams from startups to Fortune 500s, I’ve observed clear behavioural trends behind the happiest and most successful people... Now through my company, along with my Ph.D research in career performance, I leverage the latest insights in high performance and leadership into commercially-sound strategies for people and companies to do their best work by putting emotional intelligence and ‘humanness’ at the core. And I absolutely love it! In 2021 I was voted as a Top 5 Speaker for Spice News & Magazine (the go-to news source for the business events industry), and named Adweek's Careers Creator of the Year in the Creator Visionary Awards. I’m also founder of The Neurofemina Institute, a global initiative to promote the advancement of women in their careers. – THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME – I'm a 3x Australian Latin Dance Champion, published a book on Happiness in 2018 (bestseller in Amazon's Happiness category) & have over 2 Million followers on social media sharing personal development tips. I was named Adweek’s Careers Content Creator of the Year in 2021 and have been featured in the New York Times, The Daily Mail, Yahoo, Finance & VICE.
