Hi, I’m Rebecca

I have been in the business of building better talent and enabling awesome careers for over 25 years. I’ve led large teams and significant business units, won brilliant awards and totally stuffed things up. Just like you.

I earned my stripes leading large teams in complex organisations and built quite a reputation for ‘doing business differently’. And I know that without the B-Suite, businesses fail.

I can proudly say I’m the best-selling author of IMPACT: 10 Ways to Level Up your Leadership. I have fun appearing on TickerTV, ABC radio and Leaderonomics, and I write for Harvard Business Review, Forbes, The Australian, News Ltd, CEO World, HR Leader, HR Director and In The Black.

People tell me they walk away feeling clear, confident (and frequently entertained) after their session with me – and the results of my programs speak for themselves.

I’m dedicated to building B-Suite Leaders with C-Suite Impact and my best work is done with ambitious organisations, leaders and their teams who want more impact from middle management.
