Leanne Lowish
Leanne has worked as a leadership, team and systems coach, coach supervisor and facilitator since 1998. She has led a wide variety of change initiatives and diverse teams in the corporate, public and voluntary sector.
Leanne is particularly experienced in culture transformation and working with organisations, teams and individuals to navigate organisation and systemic changes which involve complexity, ambiguity, volatility and uncertainty.
Leanne’s approach is eclectic and integrative, due to her 30 years of studying and working in adult development and human potential. She is both pragmatic and intuitive in her approach, recognising the opportunities and challenges of working in times of exponential change and focusing on getting to the bottom line – she attributes this to her antipodean roots.
