everyone has their ORIGIN STORY....so here's a bit of mine

I was 7 years old, thumping my fists on Dad’s big desk sitting on his huge, tall backed chair in his home office, our dining room. 

I was copying what I had seen on tv and with a stern expression, I barked orders to my imaginary employees….I knew then I wanted my own business (!) but I didn’t know what.

Thankfully my understanding of what it means to be a business owner and leader of people evolved! Although in over three decades in business with two in people and culture, not everyone has! 

I experienced first hand the impact that being an employer had on life outside of the business and when I got older, I saw it from within. 

As my multi-disciplinary career progressed, which began in financial services not HR, I realised that I wanted to gather as much quality experience as possible and use that to help business owners, like Dad. 

Dad started what became his very successful firm, Doherty PIC, from our home and it was only after it was well established that he was able to attract experienced people from larger organisations.

Dad could have only been as dedicated to his business as he was with the full backing and support of my Mum.

I wish I could time travel to support him and his business with all the knowledge and experience that I have now. He’s long retired but I’d have loved for him to have had the me that I am today, by his side – Mum wishes this could have been the case too.

So instead, it's you, my clients, who benefit from my experience of having worked and held leadership positions in various roles, sectors and industries, not to mention that upbringing involved in business and decision making.

Understanding people is not only a strength I’ve continuously developed and refined,
I intentionally pass it on to all of you who choose to work with me.

 It’s your business, you’ll always be in it more than I will so the more I can involve you and grow your capabilities the better!

Who do you have in your corner?
