Our Team

Rachel is an endorsed organisational psychologist and a member of the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (AAPi). She uses a range of evidence-based approaches and needs-focussed techniques, including nonviolent communication (NVC) or compassionate communication, to strengthen professional relationships and assist individuals, teams and organisations to flourish.

Rachel has worked for years as an organisational consultant and coach. She has conducted challenging mediations, helped organisations improve their workplace culture, and coached employees through difficult transitions in their lives. Rachel brings wisdom and insight to her work as an executive coach and facilitator, drawing on her deep understanding of human psychology. She has facilitated a wide range of leadership and management programs, including executive and team development programs, resilience building, restorative practices, and organisational change.

Rachel is passionate, caring and results-oriented. Her professional demeanour is open-hearted, objective and unbiased. She encourages clients to take control of their destiny by taking responsibility for their feelings, needs, motivations, and actions.

Ian has over twenty years’ experience working with people and organisations. As a group facilitator and presenter, he builds rapport and encourages dialogue between participants, creating a climate where everyone feels free to contribute. He draws on each person’s experience to anchor their learning, and weaves humour and anecdotes through his presentations.

As a coach, he identifies his clients’ needs and expectations, challenges them when necessary, and guides them towards the achievement of their objectives. He believes that everyone has hidden talents that are waiting to be discovered and unleashed—and that when teams can tap their latent potential, the results can surpass all imagining.

Ian’s approach his work can be summed up by this quote from The Big Short: ‘Truth is like poetry. And most people hate poetry.’ Perversely, Ian loves both. Because as much as we might wish to deny it, without truth and poetry, our lives and our society would be much the poorer.
