Personal Details

Bio

English-born, Canadian-raised, Australian-settled Outdoor Adventurist and Experiential Educator, Truth Teller, Learner, Cancer Dancer, One-Time Belly Dancer, Aspiring Telemark Skiier, Slayer of Dragons, Mother of Chickens.

I show leaders and their teams how to thrive together in times of volatile change. We get past politics and get down to real talk. We build better teams so we can do better work for a better world.

I led leadership development extended wilderness canoe trips in Canada for 9 summers, with two years as the director. The next ten years saw me lead the Staff and Training team at Outward Bound Australia (outdoor experiential education for personal and leadership development), and develop the nationally recognised and awarded Internship program (training and accreditation for outdoor educators). I then went on to design, develop, and deliver specialised national leadership development programs across the rural sector at the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation for five years. Now I captain my own ship and love it!

Testimonials (1)

I have worked with Zoe for over a year and she has been inspiring, honest and triggers new thinking pathways. She has also worked with the staff in my organisation and they responded that it was the best session they had attended and came away with new approaches to old themes. The point of difference with Zoe is she manages to easily combine complexity and challenge with simplicity.
