Think of your team as a tree and your leadership
as the roots of that tree.
You might be facing drought, or too much rain.
Strong winds could blow you off balance.
Pests or disease could infest your environment.
Perhaps your produce is falling short of changing needs.
Or you have been transplanted into new roles
with new expectations.
A VUCAH* environment is tough to manage.
I'm like your personal gardener.
Coaching trees, and their roots, supplying just the right quantities of water, fertiliser and sunshine at just the right time, tailored to your specific environmental conditions.
If you need it, I can be a stake to lean on too.
You won't just survive - you'll grow to be your potential!
Do you and your team have potential to grow?
Is your VUCAH* environment tough?
Could you benefit from tailored support?
*VUCAH = volatile, unpredictable, complex, ambiguous, hyperconnected


Through the lens of a team coaching case study, my book tells the growth story of a team I worked with during a particularly challenging VUCAH* period.
Readers walk in 5 sets of shoes, experiencing the story from perspectives of the: team, team leader, organisation, team coach (me) and coach supervision and support networks.
Multiple perspectives provide unique insight into team coaching and wider organisational development.
My book is described by industry experts as a must read for coaches, team coaches, human resource professionals, change managers, consultants, academics, students of organisational development, and of course leaders and teams.

We can learn a lot from trees: they’re always grounded but never stop reaching heavenward.
Everett Mamor

My style is authentic, playful, experimental and contemporary.
Just like me!
All my work is completely bespoke. To support this I draw from a large set of gardening tools including: coaching, team coaching, applied positive psychology, change management, and strategic tools and methodologies.
I also draw on my own experiences of leadership and organsiations.
I continually invest in my own growth too, through ongoing training, teaching and
professional support.

Growth stories
Helen has been working with the team I lead in a facilitation and team coaching capacity. During this time our collective self-awareness and self-improvement grew significantly, resulting in increased accountability, collective decision making and ultimately improved outcomes. Helen worked with us using many tools and well tested management models and helped us apply our learning to real world execution. We have all become better leaders as a result, both individually and collectively as a team.
Gary Connolly, Deputy Chief Executive Finance and Business Insights, St John
Helen is a multi-skilled, high energy, and people-centred leader. I had the privilege of working with Helen in a change project to strengthen our department team culture at Auckland Council. Helen’s insights, creativity and drive made a positive impact on me, our departmental lead team and wider staff. She developed communications strategies and content and also provided appropriately framed mentoring and support to people involved. Her range of skills and experience adds real value to any team environment. If you get a chance to work with Helen - take it!
