From Middle Management to the B-Suite
I help leaders and their teams work.
I earned my stripes leading large teams in complex organisations and built quite a reputation for ‘doing business differently’.
Now I work with Australia’s leading companies, guiding leaders and their teams to identify and adopt tiny tweaks that make big differences.
My goal is to help evolve how leaders think, take action, and relate to others during these turbulent times – how to do business differently.

'Rebecca has an amazing way of doing high level and bite size at the same time. She'll force you to think big from the beginning, and stay on track along the way. Generous with her time and rich with wisdom, every call, masterclass and group session with Rebecca is packed full of content and motivation to achieve professional growth no matter where you're at in your journey. Since joining the Level Up Mentoring Program, I've become more considered in my approach and open to greater outcomes. In this program I've made some incredible connections, broadened my industry knowledge and learned more about myself as a professional than would have been possible otherwise.'

Molly App Thomas

'Rebecca is a delightful and insightful facilitator! She ran a series of workshops for our leadership team focused on understanding the value we deliver to our clients and developing a clear purpose statement; she helped us clearly define roles and responsibilities between different managers; and she shared tools with us to better prioritise and manage our workloads. Throughout the sessions, Rebecca created an atmosphere of safety and trust which enabled us to honestly explore the things that were holding us back as a team. There was more than one leadership breakthrough during the program, and everyone felt it was a productive use of time. This was all delivered with warmth and humour, which we now realise is part of Rebecca’s signature approach to executive coaching and facilitation. Thanks Rebecca!'

HR Director, State Government
'I can highly recommend Rebecca who very quickly understood our organisation's needs while helping us approach change in a transparent and democratic way. She won't waste time of busy executives, and makes sure through her workshop planning and facilitation on the day that you get the feedback you need and collectively work through knotty issues with your team. She really understands the dynamic of change from both an organisational and personal perspective and helped us build the groundwork for constructive reform. Rebecca's skills as a facilitator quickly creates a collaborative, open atmosphere that breaks down reservations and turns the energy towards constructive discussion on how we improve.
I can highly recommend Rebecca to other organisations seeking to engage their teams on change and strategy.'

'Rebecca’s guidance, expert knowledge and mentoring were keys in helping me create a methodical, structured approach to defining our strategy and program of work. Rebecca was extremely quick to understand our business, our strengths and challenges; she challenged my thinking, helped maintain momentum and coached me through a seamless consultation process. I wouldn’t have been able to deliver a strategy that I am as proud of as this one, especially within such a tight time frame, without Rebecca. I cannot recommend her highly enough and hope to have the pleasure of working with her again in the future.'
Julia Tucker
Head of TA , Epworth
'Our commitment to doing business differently meant Rebecca was perfect to facilitate our session.
She creates a positive, collaborative environment quickly and is expert at both challenging your thinking, yet ensuring all voices are heard.
By advising on key messages and principles in the lead up to the event, she added value well beyond that of a typical facilitator.
Highly recommend her to other organisations seeking to engage their teams on strategy, planning or change.'

'Rebecca was able to bring the voice of the customer into the room, along with her unique experience(s), skills and attributes so we could better communicate with our community who purchase our software (T/A, RPO's & Agencies)
Engaging with Rebecca was impactful for our start-up. We found the following to be high value;
- Seasoned business & people leadership
- Strategist skills
- Problem solving
- Optics to bear on our growth strategy
Rebecca supported me and my leadership team with a series of coaching & facilitation sessions, establishing our 'purpose' or 'our why' and integrating values & strategic plans into our business. As a facilitator, she has a great questioning style which allows every voice to be heard and for complex decisions to be made.
As a coach, she is both challenging and developmental, and is not afraid to broach difficult subjects yet does so with grace and humour.
She also worked across our Sales, Marketing & Customer Success teams to sharpen our go to market & customer journey approach and tightened up our value proposition, which resulted in new marketing & sales content as well as a smoother, more integrated customer experience.
At VideoMyJob, I was continually reminded from my leadership team that Rebecca was adding value leveraging off her previous experience(s).
What I particularly liked about Rebecca is the range she can operate at – from highly strategic, to hands on, she is able to challenge and tease out the best approach in a really pragmatic and engaging way. Again, the team have enjoyed immensely working with Rebecca, and we have individually & collectively benefitted from her time at VideoMyJob.'

I engaged Rebecca as our business advisor to help me develop our Go to Market and Product strategy. She’s been an invaluable resource. Rebecca has a highly strategic mindset balanced with a pragmatic, operational perspective which means that we focus on the things that actually make a difference. She understands what corporate clients value and how to approach them. She understands Saas Products. She’s an experienced operational leader with a keen eye for growth, waste and risk, and she’s readily available to pitch in on everything from international market expansion to people issues.'

I never thought that I would be able to be so objective, strategic and influential. I have always been too emotionally invested and introverted. I've totally changed my relationship with power - I can talk comfortably, as a peer, with my C Suite now. I'd encourage anyone else in the same boat to join Level Up.

'Rebecca's passion, generosity and knowledge of talent, leadership and strategy set her apart. I joined the BoldHR Level Up mentoring program and I am loving it. Rebecca is a thought leader across strategic talent practices and she shares her knowledge in the masterclasses and one on one coaching sessions. She invests so much in to each person and I leave every conversation having learnt something new, thinking differently or with a boost to my confidence. I am grateful to be mentored by Rebecca and appreciate that she both cares and challenges.'
Christine Sturgess
'Highly recommend Rebecca’s BoldHR coaching program. For a successful mentor partnership you need to find the right person. Thankfully, Rebecca’s open and honest communication and leadership style is really key in the program’s success/impact. She delivers on her promise for a well-structured/thought provoking program covering a number of key insights which will prove to be career-long skills.'
Alexandra Yosifidis
'It's hard to quantify the impact that Rebecca's support & mentorship has had on me. Suffice to say it has been considerable!
I signed up to her BoldHR LevelUp Mentoring program at the start of 2020 & very quickly started benefit from her considerable experience as a leader in the Talent Acquisition space. The masterclasses she curates & the content she shares regularly is highly pertinent, well crafted & always gets to the heart of what the mentee needs.
You only get from a mentoring program what you put into it but I feel that Rebecca has poured so much in to helping me & others. It really has been overwhelming & very much appreciated.
In these turbulent 1st few months of 2020, I've learned so much from Rebecca that it has really helped me grow & develop as a person & I've no hesitations in recommending her as an amazing mentor.'

'I have been involved in two of Rebecca's planning days, one for APSCO and one for my own business Sirius People.
I found the structure of her sessions and pre and post work to be highly effective. We took a fairly complicated concept, applied a methodical framework which engaged all team members in the planning stage. The post planning work also engaged all team members in the change and operations stage, enabling buy in and making execution straight forward and measurable.
My team liked the way she made everything seem simple with no fuss. I would highly recommend Rebecca for your management strategy day.'

'I joined the BoldHR Mentoring Program in 2020. This has not only provided me with a new external network of like minded people and a great mentor in Rebecca.
The masterclasses, knowledge sharing, impromptu zoom calls and brainstorming have been valueable.
Rebecca provides the group with challenges and encouragement to think strategically, challenge how we think about Talent Acquisition and the future of our sector. The advice provided by Rebecca, based on her own professional experiences, has been a highlight.
Rebecca provides a fun, safe and forward thinking environment, to reflect and look forward.
I would highly recommend the program, if you want to improve your confidence, influencing skills, professional network and your reputation.'

'This year, I joined Rebecca's Level up mentoring program - I quickly realized that Rebecca is someone who you can trust, have open conversations with and she is then able to coach you through getting to the outcomes you need.
My big area of focus this quarter has been getting to my sphere of control , resilience, and confidence.
I can honestly say that through Rebecca’s structured approach,
I have now moved into a more productive headspace and my manager and colleagues have also benefited from these learnings.
I have now taken control of my output and have more fulfilment by doing so. I’m looking forward to the rest of the year with Rebecca by my side as my 'professional toolkit''

'I recently completed “Your 1st 90 Days” with Rebecca and I can say it was more than 100% worthwhile. Rebecca's system set me up to deliver the impact I was looking for in my new job. It enabled me to quickly build trust with my executive and the board, focus on the right strategic and operational priorities against key business drivers, and engage my team and stakeholders in the vision ahead.
Working with Rebecca has and continues to absolutely make a difference. She provides targeted tools and techniques that are effective and easy to apply and remember - and more importantly, they actually work.
Every leader starting a new role should take this course.'

'Being a hard worker and throwing yourself 100% into your new job isn't always the smartest move when you're a senior leader - you don't get a handle on the bigger picture, the cultural norms, the key stakeholders or the real problems to solve. It also means you don't set boundaries, you get swept up in being busy from day one and - especially at the moment - you struggle to make virtual onboarding work to your advantage. I'd made all of those mistakes before, and Rebecca's workshop reversed all of those issues for me. Getting your first 90 days right means you get your first 12 months right. Rebecca's workshop helps you to do this - to ensure you deliver high impact at high speed. Highly recommended!'
Anna Torisson
'I have to say: Thank you.
I was a bit lost before starting the LevelUp program but our first mentoring session was a real “wake up” light bulb moment for me. I now have my mojo back and I'm no longer in a daze within a maze looking for the right way out. I have put into play the tools you shared with me and I am celebrating the fact that some of the difficult conversations I have had have ended in the outcomes I was after. I now feel listened to and valued as a result of the tools and insights you have shared.
Thank you: the LevelUp program has had a big impact in a short period of time.'

'Clarins Values Day is an event that our people look forward to every year, and Rebecca certainly hit the mark - our employees told us that it was a "thoughtful day" that left them feeling proud of the people and company they work for.
The best part of our Clarins Values Day for 2021 was the engaging and fun spirit that Rebecca was able to bring out in everyone involved, despite the challenge of being 100% online.
The team-building activity was unique and fun for everyone and will remain a memorable and engaging event for years to come - everyone is telling us how much they enjoyed it and there is still a buzz of people sharing their experiences with fond memories.
Our people learned what happens when you get out of your comfort zone and push the boundaries to be audacious - and having someone like Rebecca to facilitate that “uncomfortableness” in a way that feels supportive and playful was fantastic.
Rebecca was the perfect choice to bring our people together for an engaging, thought-provoking, and inspiring day!

'I Chair a Human Resources networking group and recently had the pleasure of working with Rebecca when she presented virtually to our group on “Reconnect the Disconnect. How to re-establish trust, resilience and performance in Covid Year 3”. During this presentation Rebecca provided an overview of the key issues affecting our workforces today, those which may drive down trust, resilience and performance and make it harder than ever to lead.
Feedback from all participants following this presentation was extremely positive, describing it as an insightful and engaging presentation. Rebecca has a wealth of experience to draw upon and presents with energy, enthusiasm and passion. Overall, it was incredibly well received and much appreciated presentation, with many key learnings, advice and take aways that members/participants found extremely useful. On behalf of HRM@W and its members, thank you Rebecca.''

'I have seen a major change in my skill set which has supported my development on both a professional and personal level thanks to my time with Rebecca.
After every session I felt inspired and motivated from the advice and guidance I received that gave me the confidence to take on the next challenge or task with all the tools to set me up for success.
I found each session so rewarding and as a result I have seen genuine growth in myself and within my career.
Public speaking has always been my least favourite activity but since my sessions with Rebecca I have seen a big shift in my confidence with public speaking and have received multiple compliments on my presentation skills as a result.
I have learnt so much that I continue to utilise daily in my role and that I will carry with me in the future.
I highly recommend Rebecca to anyone who is wanting further development and genuinely looked forward to and enjoyed my time during each and every session.
Rebecca I can’t thank you enough!'

'Hi Rebecca, having you mentor me in our 1:1 mentoring sessions has had a huge impact on my leadership and development skills.
Each session we would discuss a particular scenario, get into the detail and together we would outline an action plan... then you would get my commitment to do it, which of course then made me do it! This has been an excellent contributor to my overall confidence in leadership.
Now I ‘have the conversations straight away’ before they turn into misunderstandings, fractured business relationships and lost opportunities. Also, the benefits you reap when you ‘let go’ of a project/task to a capable team member and they do it better than you would have and at the same time you reciprocate trust and respect in each other.
Would recommend that anyone wanting to take a big step-up in their leadership development engage in sessions with you! Thank you!'

'Rebecca has a way of not only getting to know you but, also allowing you to reclaim yourself and things that you have stopped seeing along the journey.
Working with Rebecca made me look outside the square both personally and professionally, being in the latter part of my career, she changed my mindset from something coming to an end, to new beginnings and future focus, not the finish line, but the start of a new race that I am now excited to run. I feel both myself and my business have benefited from her guidance. She doesn’t do it for you, she encourages you to find your solutions, and thru her programme encourages ownership of those new mindsets.
Rebecca doesn’t mentor tricks, she gives you a toolbox full of fresh mindset, fresh focus and re - ignited ideas and innovative vocabulary and she empowers the ownership to change. So I say with confidence and appreciation “yes you can learn new things”. Working for a business that invests in people, I am truly grateful for the chance to work with Rebecca. I have worked with many outside people over many years, Rebecca stands out from the crowd.
If you really want to grow and facilitate personal change as a manager, I encourage you to seek her out and become a better leader in the process.'
