Bio

Career & Wellbeing Coach

For the past 15+ years my career, focus and passion has been working with people to empower them in their careers – to ignite their potential and work with purpose. I offer a diverse skill set from entrepreneurship to coaching, training, leadership and strategic thinking, combined with working in corporate, commercial recruitment and start up experience.

My background in Human Resources, Recruitment, Career Coaching & Training has been developed within commercial recruitment agencies, corporations, GE & EY and the educational sector with Melbourne Business School (MBS), University of Melbourne as a Career & Executive Coach for 7 years. This combined with establishing two consultancies and an online Jobs & Careers site Six Figures has provided me with a strong understanding and empathy for the career challenges people face in todays ever changing work environment.

This eclectic background has positioned me to successfully work with thousands of professionals and executives to experience a more purposeful and rewarding career.

I am the author of ‘The Busy Women’s Guide to Salary Negotiation’ and have regularly been a guest on ABC Radio and The Wellness Collective Podcast and more recently Broad Radio. In addition to writing articles and being involved in articles for publications such as The Australian, CEO Online and Australian Women Online.

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.
