Named as a finalist in the 2016 Australian of the Year Awards, one of Australia's 100 Most Influential Women in 2014 by the Aust Financial Review & Westpac Bank, and a 2014 Telstra Business Woman of the Year Finalist; I'm a humanitarian, certified speaking professional (CSP), best selling author of "Equal Justice"(Pan MacMillan, 2013), retired British Army officer, former terrorism & war crimes prosecutor, hostage survivor and mother of teenage triplet boys! I worked for 13 amazing years overseas where I served as a legal officer in the British Army and a terrorism and war crimes Crown Advocate. Since returning to Australia in 2011 I have worked as Legal Counsel to the WA Commissioner of Police and the Corruption and Crime Commission WA, but am now a full time professional speaker, facilitator, trainer, coach, mentor, media commentator & advocate. I’m also a Director at strategic advisory services company, Metisphere, and a Syndicate Chair at the CEO Institute. As a professional speaker I share my unique story of courage, strength & grit as a vehicle for shining a light on issues relating to resilience, authentic & ethical leadership, equality & diversity. As a leadership consultant I deliver in person and virtual keynote presentations, workshops, masterclasses & training programmes on these areas, encouraging people to identify what's holding them hostage, define & live their values, build their resilience & find their voice. I do what I do in order to motivate, engage and inspire others to embrace their capacity to create ripples - to truly be the change they wish to see in the world!
