Business Mentoring
You are not your business, your team is your business.  Engaging your team in your dream and vision leads to success. 
Business leaders are now seeing that a Holistic approach to business is the only way to achieve your goal.
Too many times you hear the word "transparency" and this term usually comes from companies who do not have a clue on the real meaning of the word. 
There is finally a shift in consciousness  where corporations are seeing that to work successfully one must be conscious of their own abilities, their own belief system and have the ability to be intuitive within yourself and your team. This is not difficult to do. If you care about yourself, your vision and the people surrounding you. You will be successful. If you are micro-managing, do not trust the people around you or have created barriers, you will reflect that in your stuff and this is when conflict begins.   
Corporations are being brought down. Times are changing and  if your business does not have heart you may as well shut your doors now.

Bad Boards
No clear guidelines, meetings are interrupted with other board members who talk incessantly. No defining line between operations and governance, rude to volunteers, members, no support to staff.  They are willing to break the law, falsify tax documents or behave unethically. They date or have a romantic relationship with other board members.  They go behind the CEO’s back and direct staff to perform certain tasks. They get their friends hired to the nonprofit. I could go on. These are just a few of the things I (or my colleagues) have personally experienced. When was the last time your board was audited?

I would describe myself as an adaptable and transformational change maker, a natural leader who over the past 10 years has managed projects from concept to completion.  Demonstrating exceptional communication skills and making critical decisions during challenges to avoid conflict. 
 My purpose is to work alongside a team who has the vision to make a difference and to amplify the sense of what’s possible – for oneself, the team, the organisation and for our community. To partner and engage with the community; and nurture and foster these relationships.​

I can offer:

• Funding experience, from researching new opportunities and funding revenue streams to building relationships with Funders. 
• Building, managing and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships with Boards, Management, Local Boards and Council.  Knowledge of community networks and groups and the ability to communicate effectively.
• Strong Governance and operations background in the not for profit sector
• Provide strong communications, across all channels including social media, print, media releases and digital advertising. Website building, maintaining and content management.
•  Drafting, managing and implementing tailored financial and work plans and budgets to meet the organisation’s strategic, work and business plan.
• Ensuring that all financial data for internal and/or external presentation/submission is accurate and timely.
• Financial management. Ensuring requirements are met with Charities Commission
• Meeting all contractual and regulatory requirements, with organisations, such as Ministry of Children. (Oranga Tamariki), DHB and Justice.
• Ensure all legislative and compliance requirements are met including Health and Safety.
• Proven negotiation and conflict resolution skills
• Author of two books which support change and the effect that positive thinking has on health and wellbeing.
