Learn How to
Lead Well.
Perhaps you’re in a leadership role, with a group of managers who report to you, while also creating high-level strategy.
Do you ever want to stop putting out fires and look at the bigger picture?
You’re in the right place.
I teach people empowering and effective leadership.
Tathra's approach
I’ve worked with architects, engineers, educators, politicians, entrepreneurs, and activists, all driven by a shared desire to make a difference. Over the last two decades, I’ve developed an inclusive and human-centered leadership framework, bridging the gap between intent and impact. With a background in sustainability, I’ve collaborated with organisations of all shapes, sizes and sectors.
Originally from Australia, I spent 25 years in Canada and now live with my wife and our four fur-babies along the banks of Edgars Creek just north of Melbourne (AKA Naarm). My activist background informs my work for change and faith in the human spirit.
As a leadership futurist, I’m passionate about collective responsibility and inspiring others to lead with care. To hear more about my back story, listen to Tall Poppy Podcast Episode 8.
Why leadership development?
After years of success, the job suddenly changes – leaving people struggling to lead effectively while still producing our own high-level work.
I teach effective leadership strategies to people who want to grow their teams into creative, independent problem-solvers, giving you time to focus on the big picture.
I bring years of experience and continual learning in human behaviour. I started in the environmental sector, learning why people did (or didn’t) recycle and how to inspire sustainable change. Since 2008 I’ve been a coach, consultant and facilitator across government agencies, not-for-profit and private sectors.
Get started
My mission is to create strong work cultures by empowering leadership at every level.
Connect with Tathra for a 15-20 minute confidential conversation, via Zoom. This is an opportunity to discuss your situation and see if I’m a good fit for what you’re after. There is no cost for the initial call, nor is there any obligation to go to the next step.
Next, we have a longer conversation (typically around an hour) to unpack the challenges you’re facing. Our goal is to better understand the bigger picture. This consultation is also free with no obligation.
Make an informed choice of workshop, program or 1:1 coaching. Choose a service that meets your needs, from short skills-focused workshops to total leadership development. For details find our services here.
TESTIMONIALS
I’ve forged partnerships with organisations hungry for a fresh approach in leadership and driven to create a positive impact.
Why I Offer Free Consultations?
I want to work with people and organisations who are deeply values-driven and committed to ethical leadership.
Generally speaking, I never recommend people work for free. So why don’t I take my own advice, and charge potential clients for spending an hour or more deep-diving into their leadership challenges?
It’s simple: I’m happy to spend that time getting to know you, because I want to work with people and organisations who are deeply values-driven and committed to ethical leadership. I see it as an investment in the future and a way to determine suitability. It’s worth the time.
Most of us underestimate our capacity to create change, whether in our workplaces, our communities or our world.
People don’t become “leaders” because of promotions (and actually, I really don’t like the word “leader” as a noun, it really is a verb).
I want to help you embrace leading well as something anyone can do, at any level. Start with what you have, where you are. And start by getting support for your leadership journey, you’re worth it!
