As a start-up founder, every day feels like a balancing act. On one side, there’s the need to innovate, scale and deliver like a big business. On the other, there’s the harsh reality of being cash poor, with a small team stretched to their limits. It’s enough to make anybody sweat and it’s the reason I, like so many other business leaders, lean heavily on AI.

“Highly self-aware, consistently high-performing and accountable are a few characteristics of Kerry, but what makes her unique is a keen eye for drawing out the strengths of others and making them acutely aware of their blind spots, which makes Kerry ideal for the leadership development space. When I’m kicking off new projects, Kerry is always in my dream team list for her ability to think big picture, yet narrow that vision down into tangible KPIs for targeted outcomes.”

I personally feel very fortunate to have Kerry mentor me over the years, her patience and inclusive nature has been instrumental in my own development…”
Robert Kerrison (2022)
“Kerry is a transformational leader, she inspires her team and the people around her. I have had the privilege of working with Kerry for 4 years and in that time, I have seen Kerry lead and grow teams into larger successful teams, run many projects and implement successful change…she is personable, humble and someone I could always go to as a mentor. Kerry is positive, hard-working and a great role model. I would recommend Kerry to work in any business in a senior leadership role and I would definitely work with Kerry again.”
Vicki Dunkley
“Kerry helped me to recognise my areas of growth in leadership and gave me the tools to make effective changes to my leadership style in order to get better outcomes from myself and my team. Not only is she skilful as an educator but she also guides her students to learn from lived experiences as well as the leadership theory that she expertly explains and coaches. I only wish Kerry taught other subjects as well as I progress through my MBA.”
Kiarne Greener
“Kerry has inspired me to break through my usual way of thinking about how I run my business. As I slowly move off the tools, I really needed some guidance on how to keep my business running profitably, with me now becoming less hands on. Kerry has given me practical methods and tactics to set and achieve goals and I am excited to keep moving forward. Thanks, Kerry and look forward to our next meeting.”
