Services

I'm a problem-solving strategist and facilitator who helps regional communities create positive change for a stronger future. With a knack for turning ideas into outcomes and a deep understanding of how regional communities function, I help clients solve social and community challenges.

Strategic writing

I’ll turn your big-picture vision into an actionable plan and support getting you there. From grant applications to tenders, proposals to business cases, you can expect well-researched, strategic and engaging writing that checks the boxes in the short term and helps your organisation grow. In addition, graphic design, including brand development and web design, is available.

  • Development of grants, tenders and business cases

  • Grant critique – run your documents past me for feedback before you submit

  • Provide independent feedback on your recent unsuccessful funding applications

  • Craft strategic plans and operational plans that design future success, including program logics and theories of change

Strategic thinking and facilitation

If you're planning your next move, I am here to provide guidance and create space for voices to be heard and visions and goals to be determined. I am experienced with project planning, delivery and acquittal and am often called into projects to identify key stakeholders, and then consult, liaise with and support them to produce agreed outcomes.

Effective engagement

Proposing change isn't always easy. No matter what you're trying to create, shift or achieve, I’ll help you navigate the inevitable challenges by providing perspective, experience, understanding and patience. I often help clients by:

  • Developing a one-page high-level project overview

  • Preparing a pitch for local Councils and other relevant organisations to encourage them to embed each project and my client's priorities in their strategic plans

  • Coaching clients as they seek project support and engage with State and Federal Ministers, agencies, and organisations, including Regional Development Australia

  • Facilitating consortia and developing Memorandums of Understanding that create a framework for diverse groups to collaborate and ensure an agreed way forward when the project is funded.

Good governance

With 20 years of experience in business and community development in regional Australia, and more than a decade as a non-executive director in government entities, I’m a strategic thinker who knows how to bring people together to solve complex challenges.

 

My digital mindset, cyber security qualifications and passion for innovation and growth make me a forward-thinking asset in the boardroom. Working both strategically and collaboratively, I have the ability to combine analytical thinking with a people-centred approach.
