Fearless Forum Consulting
I'm the founder of Fearless Forum Consulting, where I design and facilitate experiences that help leaders and teams think differently about culture, leadership and the human dynamics that shape organisational life. My career has never followed a single discipline. Beginning in law before moving into human resources, organisational development and inclusion, I've spent more than fifteen years working with organisations across corporate, public and not-for-profit sectors. Each role offered a different perspective, but I found myself drawn to the same questions about trust, participation, leadership and what helps people feel able to contribute their best thinking. Alongside my professional work, I've always been interested in the quieter aspects of human development. I'm a Reiki Master and Rahanni practitioner, and while these are distinct from my organisational practice, they have influenced the way I facilitate. They have deepened my appreciation for presence, listening, reflection and the importance of creating environments where people feel calm enough to think clearly and speak honestly. Professionally, I'm a Certified Fearless Organization Scan Practitioner and work with organisations to strengthen psychological safety, leadership and organisational culture. More recently, I've begun developing an emerging body of work that explores what happens to organisations when pressure changes how people interpret one another. That thinking now underpins much of my writing, speaking and facilitation. Outside work, I find perspective in nature, particularly by the sea. I've come to believe that some of our best thinking happens when there is enough space to notice what is really going on beneath the surface—whether that's within ourselves, our relationships or the systems we are part of. Ultimately, my work is about creating those spaces. Spaces where people can pause, think together, challenge assumptions and leave with a different understanding of themselves, one another and the cultures they are helping to shape.
