Selena is passionate about building capability and obtaining better business outcomes. She has over 15 years’ experience in leadership, team development, industry training, operational management and education quality assurance management.

She has managed a change leadership strategic initiative prior to major transformational change, managed teams through change, and facilitated team development sessions to manage change, identify team purpose, norms and values and improve collaboration and communication.

She has mentored and coached HR teams, middle and senior managers over the last five years to develop leadership skill sets in facilitation and maximising team performance (especially through change) and ultimately, improve business outcomes.
