Trusted Risk Advice Consultant in Northbridge, NSW
With over 25 years of experience in the financial services sector, I established my consultancy in 2004 to address critical gaps in client engagement and risk advice processes. My journey began as a life insurance broker in the UK before transitioning to corporate training and risk advice consulting in Australia. I specialise in equipping financial advisers with practical tools and methodologies to enhance client communication, improve protection outcomes, and build sustainable businesses.

My workshops and coaching programs focus on both risk-specific strategies and generic soft skills, tailored to meet the evolving needs of advisers and their clients. Backed by a proven track record of delivering measurable results, I remain committed to advancing the quality of risk advice through education, innovation, and hands-on support.
