I founded Purpose in Practice to help leaders & organisations to define & deliver their purpose.
By working with me,
🌟Organisations determine their guiding star
🌟Leaders generate clarity & momentum
🌟Teams connect strategy to execution
Recent work includes
💉 Health & human services: Developing 3-yr Strategy for Australasian College for Emergency Medicine; Exec facilitation and operational planning
🏛️ Heritage: designed strategy implementation & the initiation of a major public art project
🧬 Sciences: supported a new strategy for research commercialisation
🦉 Leaders: coached & mentored through mergers, stakeholder spaghetti & creative block
📈 Teams: facilitated awaydays: business planning, team cohesion, process design
What does it look like in practice? No cookie-cutter solutions! Insightful conversations, creative co-design, private advice, team exploration, documentation of reports & tools – all crafted to meet the challenges you face right now. Best practice is useful; applied practice is better.
