Gail Owen

Founder and Director

Principal Consultant, Facilitator and Coach

When you work with me, you get over 25 years of local and international experience across organisational change, people development, projects and large scale transformations up your sleeve.

I launched my career in two of the Big 4 accounting firms and later moved into large, complex organisations gaining experience in the telco, banking, government and mining industries. It wasn’t long before I found myself naturally gravitating to improving systems and automating processes. I always got a kick out of streamlining and uplifting productivity – this led to my realisation (many years ago) that organisations’ most significant ROI is the people factor and the impact of its culture on employees’ wellbeing and productivity. From this realisation I have dedicated my life’s work to humanising the workplace.

I am a life-long learner of positive psychology and neuroscience, and I bring a unique perspective to the organisation and people transformation. My extensive understanding of human behaviour plays a pivotal role in my facilitation and coaching style. I leverage unique skills to empower people to think beyond their boundaries and breakthrough their next success levels.
