When you want more, you want magis.
Magis Consulting
The Latin term magis is a deeply significant one to me.
I spent many years working in a Jesuit school that shaped my value system as a leader and as a person.
That's where I learned about the magis.
Its literal latin translation is 'more', but it also means an eternal pursuit for human and spiritual excellence. When we strive for the magis, we aim to forever be striving to do more, be more and to prioritise depth and authenticity.
This is an ideology that I apply to all aspects of my professional and personal life and it underpins my approach to my consultancy work.
​
When you work with me, we will start with values and culture, and identify where I can bring more - the magis - to your business.

About Me.
I am a courageous and resilient leader who values relationships and clear communication. My leadership mantra is to 'do as you say' and I believe leaders of organisations need to visibly lead and live what they articulate their core values and non-negotiables to be. This is the leadership challenge that I value most and I lead intentionally with courage, humor and heart.
Over my career I have taught and led in a range of diverse educational contexts; in co-educational government and independent schools, in catholic systemic and independent girls’ schools, and independent boys’ schools. I have also taught post-graduate degree courses at the University of Melbourne and at RMIT. I;m a published textbook author, experienced presenter and facilitator.
I am currently completing my Doctorate at The University of Melbourne, where I am a Clinical Specialist in the MTeach program. I am researching the experiences of women leaders in Independent boys' schools in Australia. As a strong advocate of boys’ education, I am passionate about the contribution of women to boys' schools and to their formation at such an important stage of their lives.
