About Me

​

My career began in recruitment, where I worked up to specialist level before running an office for an Adcorp company. It was here that I was trained in competency-based interviewing, which opened my eyes to how deeply behaviours influence performance.

​

I later launched my own recruitment consultancy, securing a contract with a large engineering consulting firm to manage their full recruitment portfolio. In this role, I managed the recruitment process end to end, coordinated agency suppliers, and guided senior leaders with critical appointments. This gave me my first taste of consulting and the satisfaction of working at a strategic level with management teams.

​

Identifying the need for small to medium sized businesses to get recruitment right from the outset, I shifted away from contingency recruitment to work directly with management, shaping processes and supporting smarter recruitment decisions.

​

From there, my work naturally expanded. I began writing job profiles, assisting with internal restructuring, providing interview and assessment feedback, and supporting leadership with people related decisions.

During this period, I developed a deeper curiosity about human behaviour and the link between behavioural competencies and performance.

​

Noticing a critical gap in this area and a need for a behaviour based program to address competency shortfalls caused by behavioural limitations, I spent several years researching and developing Beyond Limitations – Game Changer, a management program that equips leaders with self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and self-regulation skills.

​

I also designed a customisable Employee Engagement Survey to help businesses measure and strengthen culture in ways that directly drive performance.

​

These tools still form part of the broader toolkit I use to build Strategic Alignment within organisations today.

​

Currently, I work with businesses to align people with strategy across multiple levels of the organisation. I lead the design and implementation of role clarity frameworks, performance management systems, and employee engagement programs.

​

I deliver management development workshops that equip leaders with practical skills, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and tools to improve team performance.

 

I also provide ongoing advisory support to leadership teams, helping them translate strategy into measurable outcomes and a high performing culture.

​

The skills and tools I’ve developed along the way reflect my passion for self-development and growth, and my belief that healthier, happier workplaces drive stronger business results.

​

This underpins my Strategic Alignment Framework, a complete process that helps companies scale with clarity, accountability, and engagement.

 

My work is guided by a simple principle, when businesses and their people thrive together, everyone wins.​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
What I do & how it helps you​
​

As a strategic business partner, I help small and mid-sized businesses get the best out of their people while driving measurable growth. I’ve learned that performance doesn’t come from strategy alone, it comes from aligning behaviour, strengths, and vision.

Every business runs on two engines: the strategy you set and the people who bring it to life. When those engines aren’t in sync, momentum slows, problems stack up, and growth stalls. My role is to realign those engines, strengthen leadership, and put the right structures in place so the business can move forward with clarity and pace.

​
That means:​​

​

  • I align your people, structure, and strategy so everyone’s moving in the same direction.

  • Build performance systems that make roles clear, objectives achievable, and accountability second nature.

  • Boost employee engagement so your team feels invested in the business’s success.

  • Develop leadership skills that keep your managers and teams performing at their best.

 

I use tools I’ve created and refined over years of working with SMMEs, practical, cost-effective, and designed to deliver results you can see and measure.

 

The outcome?

You get a business where the right people are in the right roles, your team is motivated and skilled, and you can step back from the daily firefighting to focus on growth, giving you clear, practical recommendations to strengthen your team and improve results

 

If your business feels busy but progress is patchy or you’re not sure exactly where the bottlenecks are, I’ll help you pinpoint what’s working, what’s slowing you down, and what to do next.

​

How I work

​

Initially, I start with a Business Performance Diagnostic which is a focused 90-minute session where we:

​

  • Clarify your goals, where your business is heading and where you are right now.

  • Assess your team’s performance and how well your people and processes are supporting those goals.

  • Pinpoint quick wins, the fastest, highest-impact actions you can take to boost results.

 

By the end, you’ll have:

​

  • A clear picture of what’s holding your business back.

  • A simple, actionable roadmap to move forward

 

From there, you can choose to implement the changes yourself, or work with me to turn that roadmap into measurable results.
