We are living in transformative times.
We want to see our Association and each Member thrive through our positioning in the market, and the enabling community and platforms. The opportunities to unlearn and learn in a diverse and talented community will allow our Members to continue to be the leaders they want to be and our society needs.
During 2021 we have started the process of building a national leadership team, expanding our platforms, and reviewing our Membership value proposition for the new decade. I am keen to contribute to the follow through work to enable transformative impact to shape a better world.

My passion is helping teams uncover untapped potential by giving voice to the unspoken. My ‘why,’ is that finding my authentic voice has held my greatest challenges and expansion. I have led various executive projects and change initiatives – always drawn to the multi-sensory experiences our shared humanness holds in our connected systems.
The AusTTA has been an unexpected blessing in my life. Exploring with, learning from and growing through the connection with our members who are extraordinary in their expertise and generous with their wisdom. A gift for which I am most grateful.
It’s been a privilege to contribute to the AusTTA Board in 2021. I look forward to continuing to be part of co-creating our AusTTA culture enabling our collective contribution. For me, this includes being heartful, authentic leaders. Where we are curious, compassionate, and courageous in sharing our unique talents with each other so we can achieve more together for a better world.

I have a 25 year history, with my company Redgum, of building and launching over 100 software products and platforms across 40+ industries. In the last 5 years my focus has been on helping companies discover, test and develop solutions that either transform their company or transform their industry.
This has led me to create a new profit for good venture called Transformation Collective that aims to transition old world companies into new companies, using “profit for good” as our guiding light. This group of specialist transformation providers will invest the profits back into new startups addressing the world economic forums sustainability goals.
My aims for the AusTTA marketing role will be to finish off the member value proposition work started this year, using this to create a complete member journey. Not just the sales pipeline through to sign up, but the members 3 years of personal development within AusTTA once they have signed up.
I believe this work will have several key benefits.
It will uncover a range of new initiatives AusTTA can adopt to provide more relevant member value.
Create a framework for greater clarity for good ideas. Where does an idea sit in the journey? who benefits? Is it public facing? membership only? or core interest group specific ideas.
It will likely uncover new revenue streams giving AusTTA greater capacity to reach more people.
Once this is complete I will be working to align the other aspects of AusTTA, including the technology and education to provide a complete member experience.
