Hi. I’m Anika.

I’ve worked with 1000’s of people across multiple locations, industries and walks of life.

What I’ve witnessed is that the claws of 'fear and doubt' do not discriminate by age, sex or status; that we will invariably collide with some form of fear and doubt along our journey.
Left unchecked, it can be the grim reaper of creativity and unbridled self expression. But I know this…

 

When the conditions are set up for people to feel safe and seen, fear and doubt can be transmuted into big, beautiful things…

Breakthroughs. Momentum. Decisive Action.

So, what do I do?

MY SKILL SET + EXPERIENCE

I’m passionate about people and inspiring a more human-centric approach to the way we work. I have over 15 years global experience building innovative work cultures and embedding talent management strategies that let people thrive at work - across Asiapac, USA and Europe. 

I’ve worked with clients across multiple industries and at all levels of the business. From designing and leading global culture transformation programs for Fortune 500 companies, training teams in innovative thinking, to helping fast growing start-ups develop their culture and brand.

While the majority of my career has been spent helping people think more creatively in the world of innovation and entrepreneurship, I’ve also been a lifelong student and practitioner of the immaterial and esoteric world; emotions, energy and consciousness. I love finding practical ways to infuse the theory and application of neuroscience and mindfulness into my work with clients so that they can build big solutions and move forward with more clarity, creativity and confidence.

Back on Australian home soil after 10 years living in New York City and Los Angeles , I’m proud to call Byron Bay my new home.

 
 

 

Be seen. Be heard.
Know that they matter.

My career over the last 15 years has spanned wide and far

  • coaching 1:1 with senior leaders that battle Imposter Syndrome (the fear of being exposed for being a fraud)

  • Rebuilding team cultures that seem beyond repair

  • Training senior execs in the “soft skills” of innovation, creativity and deep curiosity (emotional intelligence, mindfulness and story telling)

  • Hosting retreats for women to reclaim their purpose

  • Facilitating discussion panels with tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley

  • Hosting conversations round the dinner table with mothers exploring the radical identity shift from maiden to mother

No matter whether I’m delivering a keynote, facilitating a corporate offsite or hosting a dinner party...
my driving force is to help people:

Be seen. Be heard. Be Held.

That is the foundation for all the magic to emerge.

Working with Anika on our activation session was a delight from beginning to end. She very quickly got up to speed with the content we were covering and where we needed to get to. Her ideas and design inputs challenged our thinking in a positive way, and got us to a place that really delivered on what we needed. Hugely positive response from a session with 60+ senior folks from across our business - with everyone walking away with a level of excitement and a clear view of what needed to be done”
