Tracey is a keynote speaker, author and educator, who is dedicated to inspiring people to collaborate and thrive in the workplace. She is an educator and a Fellow of the Australian Council of Education Leaders (FACEL) and a Certified Speaking Professional. Her passion is working with leaders and their teams to build a strong culture of trust, collaboration and learning. This has powered her research and development of Ferocious Warmth Leadership. She believes great leaders have deep connection with their teams, as well as the courage to face challenges and inspire their people. They are skilful collaborators. Leaders who are ferocious and warm in harmony, not in competition, focussing on both results AND relationships. Head AND heart. These leaders are first and foremost learners, willing to change and adapt to transform the way we work. She is a visual facilitator.

Tracey works with senior leadership teams, whole organisations and systems to create environments of safety and stretch through leadership and collaborative learning cultures. Using evidence base approaches from the latest findings in leadership, emotional intelligence and neuroleadership, she also develops her own thought leadership based on observation of excellence in practice.

Tracey is the author of three books, ‘Glue -The Stuff that Binds Us Together to do Extraordinary Work’ for leaders across all sectors who want to lift beyond convention to create high performing teams and ‘The Buzz – Creating a Thriving and Collaborative Staff Learning Culture’, designed for education leaders to support schools to bring about transformation in education. Her latest book ‘Ferocious Warmth - School Leaders Who Inspire and Transform was released March 2021. 

She has a background in educational leadership, business management and HR in fine dining restaurants and project management in the automotive industry (variety is the spice of life!).
Tracey has been running her own speaking and consulting practice for seventeen years. She has two teenage children, two dogs and is co-owner of a beach bar and restaurant on Gili Air, Lombok, Indonesia.
