Practical, credible and backed by a company
Ten years RAAF, thirteen AFP. I know the difference between training that ticks a box and training that changes a shift.
Most consultants do one or the other. I build the learning and stand behind it in the room, so nothing gets lost in the handover.
I work through Openloop Solutions, a Canberra consultancy supporting government agencies. One person's insight, a company's backing.
I wrote The Mindful Leadership Blueprint and host The Balanced Leader podcast. The thinking behind my programs is public, go and check it.

I saw things that I could, and have, put in place immediately after reading the book.

It gets straight to the point without any of the fluffy stuff that you would expect to find in other books on mindfulness.

One thing that sticks is the wasted conversations we have.
