The start of my business journey  

I made my mark in the business world when I launched the highly successful US franchise, Anytime Fitness, into the Australian market in 2008, alongside my brother, Justin. Together, we grew Anytime Fitness into Australia's number one health club chain, with over 500 clubs nationwide.

My contributions to the fitness industry were recognised through my induction into The Fitness Industry Roll of Honour, an award that celebrates game-changers who have made an enduring contribution to the industry.

Using business as a force for good

After travelling to Malawi with The Hunger Project, I arrived home knowing two things:

  •  I had to be part of the solution to end world hunger.
  •  I could have an impact by providing business as a force for good.

Driven by passion, I established and ran The Human Kind Project from 2015 to 2020, raising over $1.2 million. This not-for-profit foundation funded life-changing projects in Africa and India by connecting projects to businesses to build brand equity whilst creating lasting social change by supporting The Hunger Project.

I continue to support The Hunger Project to this day as a national board member.

Effective leadership, from Necker Island to villages in Malawi

My journey has presented me with many life-changing experiences, including spending time on Necker Island with Richard Branson and the Virgin Unite team through to trips to small rural villages in Malawi with The Hunger Project.
In a world that often pulls us away from our true selves, I draw on my rebellious spirit and courage to challenge societal expectations to continue questioning the way we view business, purpose and leadership, both in our personal and professional lives.

Effective leadership is not just about having the skills to build a business or career and experience external success. It’s about being aligned to your mission and living life as a purpose-driven individual.

Business Ventures:

Which brings us to today 

These days, I strive to break down barriers, reshape narratives, and create new possibilities for personal and professional transformation.

I share my insights and expertise through keynote speaking engagements, coaching other founders to grow and scale their businesses through A Founder’s Path, and most recently through my latest venture, Brave Spaces, which provides transformative programs and experiences to empower individuals to lead more purposeful and authentic lives.

Beyond my professional endeavours

 

I’m also a dedicated mother of three, a proud advocate of yoga and a meditation teacher.

I hope through my authentic voice and fearless approach I can inspire others to embrace their own authenticity, break free from limitations, challenge societal expectations and the systems that seek to hold them back, and become catalysts for positive change in their own lives and communities.

Thanks for being here, and I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you.
