Social Change is my Specialist Area. Working at the intersection of everyone else’s experiences and specialist areas – is my Area of Expertise. This is the arena of the Unknown.
The unknown as a vocational driver is neither sexy nor trending. Careers in the unknown aren’t popular – they are confronting, demanding, potentially contentious – but never dull.
The call of the unknown has provided me with opportunities to:
- support tertiary, secondary, primary education institutions future proof learning practices
- assist SME’s evaluate their Values to meet strategic goals
- collaborate with companies, incl., KPMG, Microsoft, BHP to develop graduate attribute programs
- create mental health solutions for the art industry by creating mindsets that can stay true to Values and meet industry deliverables
- ideate, Start Up, a business delivering reflective Leading and Learning Experiences in remote and CBD locations
- ideate, implement and lead (from the factory floor) an ethnographic study of labour hire and the gig economy in the Australian clothing industry
- voluntarily participate in HIV education field work in South Africa
- support organisations pursue Climate Change goals through embedding their Green Values into daily activities
- Synthesise and connect complex and diverse information (eg Federal Government quality and governance requirements) to ALL stakeholders.
- Support, and develop, inclusive participation strategies in work place and social environs.
In my personal life the call of the unknown has provided the impetus to:
- compete in sailing world championships
- race across oceans
- enjoy a number of creative activities
- ideate and jointly lead the first international mountain bike expedition around Mt. Kinabalu, Malaysian Borneo
- complete mountain bike guiding qualifications in Scotland
- hold Remote and Wilderness First Aid qualifications
