When she was growing up, Ros could not decide if she wanted to be a scientist, a vet, or the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup. She achieved none of those goals, but a fascination with human behaviour and neuroscience led her to a career in Organisational Development, specialising in improving business outcomes by developing individuals, teams and organisations.
After more than 20 years in corporate human resources and organisational development roles, a successful battle with cancer gave Ros the nudge to take her passion for transforming leaders and improving how individuals and organisations cope with change, in a new direction.
Leaving her senior corporate role in 2012, Ros established her consulting business, Shaping Change, to achieve her goals. Her inspirational business story was featured in the 2014 book “Australian Entrepreneur”.
Ros’ expertise spans strategic planning, leadership development, organisational culture, change management, emotional intelligence, and employee engagement. She is a multi-award winning leadership mentor and coach.
Ros is a keen writer and in addition to her book, The Resilient Employee, and her own blog, she is featured regularly in Leaders in Heels, Thrive Global, and “People Development” Magazine, amongst many others.
Ros continues her commitment to growing empowered female leaders, with the development of her Women’s Leader Archetypes assessment and Sovereign Women® model. The assessment has been taken by over 10000 women globally and is being described by women leaders as life changing. In 2022, Ros travelled to Washington DC to collect a World of Difference Award from The International Alliance for Women for this work.
