About Aviva
With deep expertise and hands-on business experience, I take a results-driven approach to leadership and organisational growth. Having worked as both a consultant and business leader, I understand the complexities of change—and what it actually takes to move the needle. With grounded insight, deep empathy, and a focus on lasting shifts, I help clients navigate tough conversations, build genuine connections, and drive meaningful progress.
My Mission
As a driver of change, I challenge individuals and teams to pursue excellence and fulfillment—pushing beyond limits to create impact that is both personal and collective.
Rooted in the values of Transformation, Creativity, Excellence and Wisdom, my approach to leadership development is dynamic, expansive, and deeply intentional, equipping leaders to navigate challenges, unlock potential, and step into their leadership with clarity and purpose.
-
True growth often requires pressure and heat, much like the creation of a diamond. My fiery energy fosters transformation by blending past experiences with relentless curiosity to create the ideal conditions for shedding the old and embracing the new.
-
Pursuing mastery with intention, balancing high standards with continuous learning. Like a sculptor refining a piece, I embrace the discipline of honing skills and deepening insights —because true excellence is not about perfection, but about the relentless pursuit of better.
-
I seek to connect ideas and people in novel ways to inspire action that is fresh, meaningful, and impactful; engaging in discovery and co-creation to uncover latent potential and reimagine possibilities
-
Like jazz, I embrace versatility, and like bamboo, I seek to bend with grace to serve effectively and respond to each unique moment and others’ needs
My Approach
Each experience is a laboratory for self-discovery and growth — brave spaces where participants step out of their daily routines, challenge limitations, and tap into their full potential.
As Marianne Williamson famously said:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.”
Stepping into our full potential isn’t just about skill-building - it’s an act of courage. My work is about guiding individuals and teams through the space between hesitation and action, self-doubt and clarity, limitation and possibility.
Designed to meet a wide spectrum of leadership and organisational development needs, each experience blends ideas, creativity and practical application. Every offering is tailored to align with your specific challenges and facilitate learning that is not only impactful but also actionable.
How Change Happens
True transformation doesn’t happen by chance —it requires intention, structure, and evidence-based approaches. I integrate leadership science, behavioral change methodologies, and systems psychodynamics to equip individuals and teams with tools and strategies to navigate complexity and thrive in change.
