About Adam

Since 2012 I have been working with leaders to help them create real strategy then get their organisations set up to deliver. With over 25 years of organisational leadership experience, the trademark of my work is engaging expertise with a touch of humour (because real change needs it!) I bring together a vast and evolving knowledge of strategic, organisational, systems and people models to create insight and understandings that are bespoke for each situation. Working via consulting, facilitating, training, coaching and presenting (including a popular video series), I help leaders create personal and organisational changes that just make sense. And work.

Prior to establishing my consulting practice, I was part of the Executive at RAA, creating the transformation in both staff engagement and profit of a struggling business for it to become a ‘pillar’ product.  I also held roles overseeing group strategy and major projects, creating a 10-year timespan strategic approach that continues to this day, and was foundational in developing the organisation’s acquisition capability.  Earlier work saw success in senior roles in the insurance, finance, education and legal industries, with the pattern of my work being the regeneration of morale and the delivery of improved outcomes be it projects, teams, business areas or full profit and loss.

My formal qualifications are in Economics and Law (with Honours), and I am a qualified Barrister and Solicitor in South Australia (while successfully avoiding actual working as one!)  I also hold a Certification from the Institute For Development Coaching for providing feedback and tailored coaching on the Leadership Maturity Framework. 

Outside work and family life with three kids, I’ve held various volunteer roles at my children’s schools, and you might find me on the Belair Disc Golf Course (yes, it’s a real sport!).

Get in touch

I love being valuable by helping leaders significantly improve their organisations through using what we both know.  An easy starting point is a meeting or a short presentation - I’ll just start helping.
