Hey there! Thanks for visiting. This is my personal site. You can also find out more about my current projects over at Merri Arts.

Hi I’m Bec

Based in Melbourne, Naarm on Wurrundjeri land, east of the Merri Creek in the inner north I am a pragmatic creative with a deep love of improving the human experience. This passion and commitment has taken me on a career through the Arts, Health and Tech - looking at all the different aspects of how we can develop leaders through creativity, collaboration and community. I am passionate about the possible, good ideas and have a deep and enduring belief in change for the better.

Through 20 plus years working in senior and executive leadership roles, I have developed and honed my passion for leadership, coaching, change and engagement through collaboration, codesign and facilitation. I’m a business founder and leader as well as passionate and active community member.

My purpose lies in helping others evolve and transform through challenging phases of career and life. I have a holistic presence-based practice that allows me to weave a path with my clients through Coaching and Facilitation, inspiring, enabling and empowering others to be their best selves.

In addition to 1:1 creative coaching or guiding, I love group work and designing and facilitating programs and workshops that catalyse change, assisting both groups and individuals to do the hard work of evolving and transforming.

When I am not working 1:1 or with groups - I am ideally in the studio working on my creative practice or spending time with me family.
