We only get one life. We may as well try and make it a good one and live our best life.

I’m very interested in how to make life great, but my main interest is in how to make our work life great.

This is because work plays such an important part of our lives. For many, it’s our identity. When you ask someone to tell us about themselves, they’ll tell mention that they’re a mother, father, etc., but will also tell you about their occupation. Our work life carries in to our home life. If we have a bad day at work, we take it home. If we have a great day at work, we take that home too. This impacts on our family and friends. At work, if we are unhappy with our jobs then that impacts on our colleagues and customers.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, businessperson, career manager, public service worker, factory worker, soldier, gardener, farmer, or any other occupation, we all have to work, and can always do more to make our work life better.

And if you’re a manager or leader in a workplace, making work great for your people will result in them doing great work, which results in better products and services for the customers and communities that your business serves.

So I’m out to help make work great, which helps to make life great.

I do that by combining the latest science with real-world practice to provide strategic, practical, and integrated solutions that put people at the heart of organisational performance.

I’m a PhD student at the Monash University Accident Research Centre in Australia where I am researching “Systems thinking applied to psychosocial risk management and work-related violence prevention & resilience in Australian local government”.

I completed my MBA at Victoria University in 2020 with an average mark of High Distinction (GPA 3.8/4).

I have worked with over 40 councils and public sector organisations around Australia and New Zealand to help them change their approach to Organisational Development, Enterprise Risk Management, & Employee Safety, Health & Wellbeing systems and culture to make them human-centred, strategically and operationally aligned and integrated, and owned by stakeholders throughout the organisation.
