It's been a while since you've heard from me, and for good reason! I'm coming to you with a sense of deep fulfillment and momentum. While my KPIs show strong growth (my best quarter yet, in fact), the real measure of success for me lies in the meaningful work and impactful collaborations that have defined this period. Bluebird Leadership is truly thriving.

As we enter our third year, I'm energised to continue guiding and empowering leaders to create a ripple effect of positive change. To further strengthen our impact, we've partnered with purpose-driven organisations to deliver comprehensive leadership development and sustainability solutions.

Strategic partnerships

The Business Revolution Podcast and Sustainable Shift

Back in 2023 I started a collaboration with Alan Taylor and Mik Aidt and produced our first season of The Business Revolution podcast. Now, Season 2 is here! We've also united under the banner of Sustainable Shift to offer e-learning training, leadership programs, coaching solutions, and a platform for sustainability and climate action. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks!

Net Zero MAP

Last year, I joined the Net Zero MAP team, collaborating with a global group of changemakers on a powerful framework for personal and organisational transformation. Grounded in research, the MAP framework emphasises the interconnectedness of inner development and collective action, empowering individuals and teams to create lasting change. We launched Net Zero MAP at the Inner Development Goals Summit in Sweden last October and have held a series of lunch and learn sessions in February and March to share more.

Alliance Community Group & Equiblend

I recently joined the leadership team of EquiBlend and working alongside its parent company Alliance Community Group (a Supply Nation certified business) to deliver ESG and sustainability services at scale. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks as we have some exciting announcements!

Bluebird projects

I'm incredibly grateful to have amazing clients who trust me to deliver impactful work. Recently, I've been delivering an emerging leader program for a long-term client, and what I love about this project is its unique approach. Instead of a typical frontline leadership program, we're focusing on the inner development and leadership qualities these emerging high-potential individuals will need as they step into their new roles. It's been fantastic to see the CEO not only open the session but also stay for an hour to actively participate – a powerful example of leadership in action!

I've also been traveling, from the Pilbara in Western Australia (capturing sunsets like this) to central Queensland, to deliver a large-scale coaching project, where I had the privilege of spending one-on-one time with leaders in the field.

Quote I'm pondering 💬

"Be soft in your practice. Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a raging waterfall. Follow the stream, have faith in its course.It will go its own way, meandering here, trickling there. It will find the grooves, the cracks, the crevices. Just follow it. Never let it out of your sight. It will take you."
