Consulting & Coaching to help you thrive at work & beyond
Hey I’m Renee,
I’m an internationally qualified Behavioural Scientist and a Management Consultant, on a mission to help people thrive at work and beyond.
And I’d love to work with you!
How I help
I offer a range of services to organisations, teams and individuals. Reach out if you’d like to talk through the options.
-
I help for-purpose organisations to answer their burning questions - like how to reduce harm, change behaviour, or achieve better outcomes.
-
I help teams and organisations to connect to purpose and to each other. To identify and address psychosocial risks. To dial up wellbeing AND performance, because they go hand-in-hand.
-
I help professional women in their mid-career to get unstuck, and to design more fulfilling careers and personal lives.
Listen in!
I’m a guest speaker at HR New Zealand’s Virtual Summit on Mental Health and Wellbeing on 9th May - talking about trends, challenges and opportunities on the horizon.
There are some big-hitters presenting, like Sir John Kirwan and Dougal Sutherland, CE of Umbrella.

Team & Org testimonials

“Renee designed and ran a critical research study for us, exploring the need for a Spinal and Neuro Hub in Auckland. Her final report was insightful and thorough, with clear recommendations and next steps. Renee offers excellent value and I found her a thoroughly professional independent researcher.” (Victoria Carter, ONZM, Chair of Laura Fergusson Trust)
-
“The team saw an 18-point lift in their engagement results. Which was massive.” (Cushla Beale, Safety and Wellbeing Head, AsureQuality)
-
“Thanks for the sessions – they were very helpful and I thought they were better than all of the other sessions we’ve had before. You encouraged us to get stuff done - long may that last.”
(Partner, professional services firm)
-
“Renee led a project to support Forum organisations to redesign an aspect of their work, which they had already identified as being harmful to people’s mental wellbeing. At the same time, Renee developed a process guide for any organisation to use.
Renee’s gentle but probing approach was of huge value to all three organisations who developed solutions which are already having an impact within their workplace, and for their people. Renee was excellent to work with; responsive, understanding and bringing excellent design thinking to this project.”
(Business Leaders’ Health and Safety Forum)

(Jayesh Rama, Management Consultant, Nimbl Consulting)
