Career Opportunities

Management is an immensely satisfying career path. It’s also much more diverse than you might expect. There are varying levels of management and leadership roles, depending on the size of the business you’re working in. Upon completing this course, there are a variety of career paths you can take:


Key opportunities include:

Managers are needed in all sectors of the economy. Managing people and resources is a critical function of business.

Broadly, the ladder starts with junior managers -often called team leaders. They might be accountable for managing a small team’s results. There are middle-level managers that often manage both team leaders, and other staff who report directly into them. At the top of the chain, there are senior managers. They’re often strategically focused, looking at the big picture stuff. Senior managers tend to  have middle-level managers reporting to them, and they may have senior staff reporting directly to them.

The Diploma of Leadership and Management at Monarch Institute is designed to give you real-world skills and strategies you can put to use straight away. This means that if you’re ready to step up, or you’ve just started in a management role, it’s the perfect intro.

"Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from."
– Seth Godin

I started my career in the Banking sector, with experience in lending and securities. I then spent over 20 years in the Royal Australian Air Force as a Logistics Officer and later specialised in Education and Training, where I was a trainer, assessor and executive.

In 2007, I established a private business as a consultant, specialising in Leadership, Management, Business and Professional Development training. I have qualifications in HR, Management, Leadership, Coaching, Warehousing, Transport and Logistics, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Advanced Facilitation. I also trained in Professional Mentoring, Workplace and Leadership Coaching,  Counselling and Conflict Management and underwent undergrad studies in Human Resources.

What gets me out of bed in the morning?

I live for weekends, where I spend it exploring, listening to and making music, camping, flying aircraft, playing with my Staffy, named Harper Cookie Face!

With my finance and business qualifications, I operated a finance broking business for over 20 years. During that time I obtained an Australian Credit Licence and developed the business to offer a wide range of financial services.

As an adjunct to my finance business, I also operated a Business Consultancy service advising new and existing business owners on business establishment, development and profitability improvement. I’ve previously been Director of two Investment, Property and Finance Companies as well as a Trustee of a Superannuation Fund.

What makes me jump out of bed each morning?

I’m passionate about training new entrants in the finance and business sectors.
