With two decades of executive leadership in government and public administration, I’ve driven transformational change across infrastructure, operations, and engineering sectors, developing great teams and strengthening relationships with communities. Now, I lead one of the country’s newest asset management leadership consultancies, Wagtail Red, focusing on elevating organisational maturity and supporting the adoption of asset management best practice. My practice brings expertise in community engagement, facilitation, mediation and stakeholder management.

I specialise in assisting technical teams and community groups in navigating conflicts and challenges. My work focuses on building agreements that foster stronger teamwork and enhance the overall workday for everyone involved.

With a unique, direct, and tailored approach, I ensure that our services resonate with our audience, whether in professional settings or community environments.

Navigating conflict well has significant benefits, including smoother project and service execution and improved collaboration. By developing skills and capacity for effective teamwork, we facilitate efficient problem-solving and cultivate a positive atmosphere, ultimately leading to higher-quality outcomes.

As   an experienced mediator we can assist in the facilitation and development of   agreements between individuals or groups in the community and organisations. We   have extensive experience mediating between communities and organisations,   ensuring smooth interactions and effective resolutions during infrastructure   projects and planned and reactive service delivery.

The   mutual benefits are a streamlined and harmonious process for infrastructure   projects and service delivery, with effective resolutions and agreements   facilitated between communities and organisations, reducing conflicts and   enhancing project success.

As   an experienced mediator we can assist in the facilitation and development of   agreements between individuals or groups in the workplace. We can also   provide conflict resolution first aid/peacebuilding training.

The   benefit to you and your teams is a more cohesive and effective team, equipped   with conflict resolution skills and stronger collaboration, leading to   smoother operations and better project outcomes.
