What’s my focus?

I took the scenic route to a specialisation in public policy for the early years: beginning as a diplomat and trade policy adviser, diverting into a PhD on regional Australia and globalisation, and then making a marvellous sharp turn into the early years.

Alongside ‘people’, I am very committed to ‘place’. I grew up in a town situated on the wrong side of the tracks (love you, Nowra), and I feel fiercely protective of the lesser-loved places and communities in Australia. 

I believe that, collectively, it’s our job to leave the world – its people and places – in a better state than we found it. That’s why I work with organisations and individuals that seek to spark change for the better.  

Do you want to make things happen? Let’s do it together. 

How can I help you?

After decades of work in the public sector and not-for-profit organisations, I understand the policy and political landscapes – and I can help you find your place in them. 

I specialise in analysis, strategy and planning for action, supporting you to pursue your goals. 

Analysis 

• Where are you located in the policy landscape, and how are you faring? Thriving? Threatened? Hidden? 

• What are your unique capacities to improve the lives of people and communities? 

Strategy 

• Why should policymakers and funders care about what you do?  

• Who needs to hear your story? 

Planning for action 

• What can you do to shape the decisions – big and small – that matter for your mission?
