Supporting the Next Generation of Leaders
Mentoring is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. I support emerging and established leaders to navigate complexity with clarity, drawing on years of experience in governance, the arts, and regional development. It's a joy to walk alongside people as they grow into their purpose and potential.
