As a passionate and experienced Executive Coach, Career Coach, and MBTI® practitioner, I have spent over two decades empowering professionals, executives, and MBA students to gain clarity, discover their purpose, and achieve meaningful personal and professional growth. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting thousands of individuals in navigating their education and career journeys—work that continues to inspire and fulfill me every day.

My career journey is grounded in continuous learning and development, beginning with roles in Human Resources, Coaching, and Training at industry leaders such as General Electric (GE) and Ernst & Young (EY). This foundation has been enriched by my experience in small and medium enterprises (including founding three of my own companies) and 8 impactful years in the education sector with Melbourne Business School (MBS), University of Melbourne.

In 2017, I launched Diversitas, focusing on Executive Coaching, Leadership Development, and Myers-Briggs Personality Type Team Workshops. Through Diversitas, I have partnered with corporate clients across industries including FMCG, Education, Healthcare, and Energy & Renewables, delivering programs designed to drive transformation and growth.

Over the past four years, I have expanded into the Virtual Reality and Education Technology space, consulting on, designing, and delivering innovative Extended Reality (XR) programs for career development and wellbeing. These programs have reached hundreds of schools across Australia and are now making a global impact.

Finding More Happiness & Purpose at Work! How Employees Can Increase Their Motivation & Engagement

For the past 10 + years employee satisfaction & engagement surveys have shown a consistently large percentage of employees (50%+) who are disengaged at work in Australia.

Employees are seeking more meaning and purpose in their work. Added to this security, flexibility, and competitive salary packages. This is no surprising given we spend a 1/3 of our lives working!

This is an interactive and reflective event where employees, managers & leaders will be challenged to ask some of the curly questions about who they are, what they are passionate about, what gives them a sense of purpose, and to consider different ways to bring more engagement & purpose to work.

The presentation will cover ways employees can revitalise their careers:
• Why Happiness & Purpose is important
• How to define it
• The role of strengths, interests & values in our work
• Ways to create more passion & purpose
• Identifying blockers
• How to create the change

Date: 4th November 2016 Topic: Successful Salary Negotiation for Women Kelly delivered an engaging one-hour presentation to a 100 women (a mix of current MBA students, Alumni and prospective MBA students), on the topic of ‘Successful Salary Negotiation for Women’. The presentation was a sold-out event and was well received by the audience. They found it both motivational and practical, giving them the tools and more confidence to negotiate their salary packages. I'd engage Kelly again, as she has the experience and presence to communicate with all levels of audience.
