My Connection Statement

I help accidental project teams to confidently speak up, address risks, and deliver successful projects. My group training shows you how to deliver valuable projects while my coaching programs help you apply these tools to suit your environment. I do this through online and face-to-face team training and coaching programs to support your structure and the way you work.

 

About Me - My Biography

With 20 years in the project game, I started my project career in the ’trenches’ playing roles of coordinator, business analyst, tester, scheduler and financial controller. I have supported the visions of both the project team and the business which has given me the opportunity to see and help overcome challenges on both sides.  As a leader I managed local, national, and international delivery teams on projects, programs and portfolios.  In my 15 years as an independent project management consultant to several ASX listed companies, I became the person who was called when projects needed reviving.
I have assembled project teams from scratch, managed them, created entire delivery functions, been a project mentor and coach for a variety of teams in diverse industries, and roled out several project methodologies as a trainer.  I am certified in PMP, Agile, Scrum & Scrum Mastery, and Prince 2.  

While everyone is talking about Project Management, I see it as a strategy. And while understanding strategy is important, it’s in the doing that projects fail or succeed. Project Delivery is where it’s truly at.  This is why my business helps people to improve their project delivery, strengthen their success with knowledge, and empower their people with resources using a human touch.

I have assembled projects teams from scratch, managed them, created entire project delivery functions, been a project mentor and coach and roled out several project methodologies as a trainer.  I am certified in Agile, Scrum, Scrum Mastery, Prince 2, a mentor for the Project Management Institute Melbourne Chapter, and have published articles to the Global Project Management Institute.
