I inherited leadership long before I truly understood that it was more than a title. I had responsibility and authority, but not the skills — and that gap became my greatest teacher. That curiosity led me into hospitality and global IT organisations, where I led large, diverse teams and discovered that sustainable success depends on more than just delivery. These teams were looking for direction, growth, and a sense of belonging. My focus became clear: if you want people to stay, grow, and give their best, you need more than targets. You need career maps, retention strategies, and frameworks that show people not only where they are, but where they could go.
Experiential outbound training offered me another insight — taking people out of boardrooms and into environments where trust, collaboration, and self-discovery weren’t theories, but lived experiences. Those moments reinforced what I had always felt: learning lands deepest when people experience it, not just hear it.
Coaching then became the natural next step. At a time when it was still emerging as a profession, I pursued it intentionally, becoming one of the first 2,000 Professional Certified Coaches (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) globally. It was a milestone that confirmed what I had long believed: transformation begins not with answers, but with the right questions.
Life later took me to Australia, where priorities shifted and coaching was quietly sidelined. I turned toward operations, gaining invaluable experience driving execution and building teams. Yet, a simple question — “Can you mentor me?” — reminded me of the work that had always lit me up. That was the moment I rediscovered coaching.
The rise came when I re-certified, re-committed, and founded Pivot n Rise — a practice grounded in one belief: when you turn inward, you change how you see yourself, and in turn, how you shape the world around you.

My story began in a tiny call centre cubicle in 2000 — a maze of ringing phones and fluorescent light — where I learned one truth that has never left me: when someone is heard clearly and with intention, everything changes.
By 2001, at Reliance, I had become a trainer and found my life’s calling — helping people uncover the blind spots that hold them back, and guiding them toward their full potential.
In 2005, my leadership journey took me to the Middle East, where I crafted learning experiences that bridged cultures and drove transformation across Dubai, Oman, and Qatar. In 2016, as Adelaide, Australia became home, I pivoted into talent acquisition, deepening my expertise in strategy, implementation, and organisational change.
Then came another pivot — in 2024, I lost my role to restructuring. Instead of seeing it as an ending, I chose to formalise and validate my years of experience by pursuing International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentialing. That decision reconnected me to the heart of my work: enabling people and organisations to transform from the inside out.
Today, I build programs that turn single moments of insight into sustained performance — scaled workshops, leadership coaching, talent architecture, and OD projects that land.
