Leadership. Deliberately.
Helping you to lead deliberately in unpredictable times.
I’m a trusted mentor, guide and catalyst for leaders and change makers. With 25+ years in the people game, my expertise is all about cutting through to get to what matters, and bringing energy and fresh thinking to get people unstuck and moving forward.
What does it
mean to
lead deliberately?
Like it or not, we live in interesting times.
They are times of danger and uncertainty,
but they are also more open to
the creative energy of men
than any other time in history.
Robert Kennedy said that back in 1966 (when you could say ‘men’ and mean ‘everyone’). It’s still true today. We live in interesting, unpredictable times. When stuff is messy and turbulent, we need leadership that’s grounded and wise. I call that deliberate leadership.
Leading deliberately means:
- knowing who you are and what you stand for.
- acting with purpose and vision from that grounded place.
- having the wisdom and perspective to lead through the messiness of uncertainty.
- having the confidence to know you have a lot to offer while having the humility to know that you’re not at the centre of it all.
In te reo Māori, to lead deliberately is ki te āta arahi. That literally means ‘to guide carefully’. That’s right.
We need leadership that guides us by connecting us together, and brings us up. We need leadership with the depth to inspire the collective brilliance to create new ways. We need leadership like this so we can move beyond noisy distractions and get on with doing the work that truly matters.
That’s why we need deliberate leadership.

Book
Change Makers make the future.
Be one of them.
We get to choose our futures. Do we shrink back and play it safe, or do we learn how to adapt, lean in to discomfort and rise above, paving the way for others to do the same? This book is about the second choice. Your call.
If you’re asking “how can I change how stuff gets done around here?” “How can I make a difference?” “How can I learn to say no?” or “How do I get traction and make my mark?” then this book is for you.
This book will help you to sharpen your focus, amplify your voice, play it a little less safe, build your network, and get the traction on your change agenda that you’ve been looking for.
