Why Followership?
We are successful when we work together, when leaders and followers both engage in effective leadership and effective followership.
Effective followership is a necessary - but often misunderstood - part of leadership. In workplaces and community organisations and groups followership helps us challenge how we usually think about relationships and roles. And followership is practical, helping people to work well together.
My professional practice makes these ideas and research accessible and applicable, engaging and interactive. I present my work at local, national, and international conferences and workshops and inside organisations.
client-focused delivery customized to your needs
academic expertise and professional practice
I work with people who know that traditional ways of doing leadership aren’t working. My work is practical, research informed and crafted for your organisation. I listen and ask questions with genuine care and curiosity and suggest solutions that are well designed, well planned and realistic.
If you are ready to do leadership differently I can help with
Consulting: sometimes you need a fresh perspective. I bring an ability to see the big picture as well as the detail.
Advising and mentoring: working with you or your team members to explore how to work better by taking followership seriously.
Workshops and speaking: from one hour to full days, conference keynotes and professional development programs customised to your needs.
