Interested in coaching, leadership, well-being, innovation and education? So am I! I run the Master of Business Coaching at Sydney Business School, University of Wollongong in Australia and am privileged to work with and learn from colleagues and students who are equally passionate about coaching in organisations. Having spent many years in industry, I love linking theory with practice and am constantly trying to improve what we offer our students.
