FOCUS
Tim’s focus is on ‘big picture’ strategy coaching, both individually and for teams. He has a passion for change management and leadership development, particularly for 'accidental leaders'. He welcomes opportunities to develop people in both public and private sector. He seeks to enable leaders to understand how to apply their strengths to the system in which they work and how to address what may be holding them back from their passion and purpose.
Following 11 years as a senior executive in the Australian government (leading reform in regulation, compliance, integrity, ethics, research policy), his clients range from public sector through to not-for-profits and small businesses.
