CONFERENCE SPEAKER
Great organisations are built when leadership exists throughout the system, not just at the top.
The challenge is creating the conditions where people choose to contribute their energy, judgement, and commitment in pursuit of a shared purpose.
Jeremy is an experienced chief executive and engaging conference speaker with a career spanning organisational leadership, industry advocacy, strategy, governance, sustainability, and public policy.
Across more than a decade leading award-winning organisations, he has worked at the intersection of people, performance, and purpose, helping organisations navigate complexity while delivering meaningful results.
Drawing on experience working with boards, executive teams, government agencies, industry groups, and communities, Jeremy's presentations combine practical leadership lessons with contemporary thinking on organisational performance, stakeholder value, and long-term stewardship.
He has presented throughout New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa to audiences ranging from operational leaders to directors and chief executives.
“Some speakers have an ability to engage
people and make them think – and you
definitely have it”

relevant and thought provoking speaker.

of successful leadership”
Conference Organiser, New Zealand
“Jeremy presented at our Queensland State
Conference. For our members to hear
first-hand from an industry advocate on how
“leadership” as opposed to “management” can
assist in creating a sustainable competitive
advantage to their businesses was truly insightful,
educational and informative.”

Not Coaching - Conversations
The most experienced leaders rarely need someone to tell them what to do.
What they often value is the opportunity to step outside the noise, test ideas, challenge assumptions, and explore complex issues with someone who can bring different perspectives to the conversation.
Every organisation is unique. Every leader is unique. Solutions that work in one context may fail in another.
Drawing on leadership practice, organisational theory, systems thinking, and real-world executive experience, Jeremy facilitates thoughtful and practical conversations that help leaders examine challenges from multiple angles, understand underlying dynamics, and identify opportunities that may not have been previously visible.
The objective is not coaching. It is not mentoring.
It is creating a space where leaders can think deeply, make sense of complexity, and arrive at their own practical and intuitive decisions with greater confidence and clarity.
Diagnostics
When things are not going as expected, the presenting issue is rarely the cause. Whether it be development stages or people or strategy or systems, identifying and understanding the underlying dynamics is the first stage to finding solutions.
That sounds obvious but it can be difficult if you don't have the time or the bandwidth or the lenses to evaluate this problem at this time. I'm guessing that, as an experienced executive, you probably have the answers, but you are swamped with complexity and demands to the point you need to break out for a moment into clear air.
We can help with that!
