What we explore
Practical workshops that build the people skills behind better creative and collaborative work.
Communication
Understand how people communicate differently, give clearer feedback and navigate difficult conversations.
Leadership
Build the confidence and practical skills to lead people, set expectations and make decisions.
Collaboration
Work better across teams, clients and disciplines when priorities, perspectives and working styles differ.
Thinking & decision-making
Use practical tools from design thinking, innovation and problem-solving to approach challenges differently.
Why these workshops are different
Less theory. More practice.
Real situations
Work through challenges that actually happen with clients, teams and collaborators.
Simple frameworks
Understand the thinking without needing to become an expert in behavioural psychology.
Practice
Try different approaches, get feedback and see what changes.
Tools you can use
Leave with frameworks, worksheets and actions you can take back into your work.

I'm a Learning and Development specialist, facilitator and lecturer who designs practical workshops around communication, leadership, collaboration and decision-making.
My career has taken a slightly unusual path: from working in visual effects on major film and television productions, to teaching, organisational development and facilitating teams across creative industries, education and government.
I currently lecture at UNSW Sydney and have spoken and facilitated at organisations and events including SIGGRAPH, AIT and Texas Christian University.

Creator Co-labs
Creator Co-labs is a community and event series that brings people across the creative industries together to discuss the intersections of creativity, leadership and technology, and to share ideas and perspectives.
Those conversations help keep People Grow People workshops grounded in the real challenges people are facing right now.
