Helen has extensive experience in the business and “for purpose” sectors and can be relied upon to challenge whoever she is working with, Directors or Executive members. She encourages us to learn from our own and other industries and seek out to do things differently, confronting the status quo. Helen is equally able to work at an individual, executive or governance level.

I have worked with Helen for over two decades, during which she worked with me on developing executive leaders and leadership teams. Over that time she has demonstrated both science and art in supporting teams to develop higher performance capabilities. Helen is highly adept at making the right choice in coaching and developing executives and teams – be it a subtle question at the right time or a more unequivocal observation that demands a more immediate behavioural shift.

During my time as CEO and Managing Director of Melbourne Airport, Helen worked with me and my senior management team to help improve our performance.

Helen helped us do a deep dive into how we were operating as a team, which resulted in positive change. The work resulted in our performance going up at least a couple of gears.
