The career that needs you

In a recent survey by the Australian Human Resources Institute, 80.3% of HR leaders said they believe their organisation will change its operation, delivery and/or strategy, due to COVID-19.

These changes involve areas like greater flexibility, virtual training, organisation restructuring and a bigger focus on a positive team culture. It’s the HR Manager who is mainly responsible for creating and managing these changes.

Your future in HR could include being part of implementing these changes, and being part of a huge change in the way our workplaces operate.
A career in HR offers you a chance to help people, provides a strong opportunity for growth, days with a variety of tasks, work you enjoy and possibly even telecommuting opportunities and flexible hours.

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” - Viktor E. Frankl

I have over a decade of experience in coaching and business development across fitness, education and, more recently, technology sectors. Two of my life’s passions are coaching and business. There is something deeply satisfying about facilitating other’s personal and professional development, and I find the intricacies of business immensely fascinating—both offering lifelong learning opportunities.

Recently I have been delivering executive coaching and training for leadership development, and have been responsible for the entire employee lifecycle across talent acquisition, training, employee agreements, and most generalist HR responsibilities. As of 2022, I’m in my second year of an Executive MBA (Masters of Business Administration).

What makes me jump out of bed in the morning?

I also have 7 years experience as a HR Specialist and HR Senior Leader in the 20th Largest Organisation in the world (from 2012-2019)

I’m passionate about delivering successful projects and helping my students reach their career goals and dreams!
