hi, I'm anna.

Good people leave when nobody's talking to them about their career.

Most managers know they should be having these conversations. Most don't know how. So they don't. And eventually your best people leave for somewhere that does.

I fix that. Workshops, career conversation tools, and L&D consulting for organisations navigating growth, restructure, or industry transition.

Let's talk. Free 30 minute chat, no pressure.

I'm a career development specialist, L&D consultant, and (genuinely) the person who gets excited about labour market data.

Your P&C and L&D teams don't need one more thing added to an already full plate. They need the language and the tools to run short, useful career conversations regularly, instead of one dreaded annual review nobody looks forward to. That's what I build.

I've worked across big pharma, education, insurance, energy, skilled trades, early careers and outplacement. I know green economy and STEM career literacy in real depth, which matters if your workforce is navigating transition and your HR team isn't across the detail yet (nobody expects you to be, that's what I'm for).

I write workshops. I run them. I train your trainers if you'd rather keep it in house. And I'll tell you honestly if what you need is bigger, or smaller, than what you first asked for.

Career conversation tools, workshops and L&D consulting for Australian organisations

Built for teams navigating energy transition, restructure, or workforce change, where the conversations matter most and everyone's too stretched to have them properly.

The NOW · NEXT · HOW Career Conversations Kit

A 10-minute career conversation kit, licensed for your team, so you don't need me in the room every time.

Three questions. One small action. Backed by career development theory and design thinking. Your P&C or L&D team runs it.

Works across every career stage - early career, mid career, later career, and pre-retirement.

Need something more bespoke? I also work with organisations on career development program design, L&D consulting, and green economy and STEM career literacy for HR and talent teams. Let’s talk or send me an email.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Honestly…this is the most common thing I hear. And it's a real constraint, not an excuse.

    The 10-minute Career Conversation Kit is built around that reality. We're not adding a new thing to already full plates. We're building the language and the habit for shorter, better conversations more often, not one dreaded annual review nobody looks forward to.

  • Practical over performative. I'm not going to make your engineers do a trust fall. I ask good questions, I bring real data, and I get people talking honestly about career stuff in a room that usually avoids it. People leave with something they can actually use on Monday, not a worksheet that goes straight in a drawer.

  • Ahh Ha. You ask the magical question. Yes. I can write them, run them, or train your trainer to run them if you'd rather keep it in house. Group facilitation is a genuine strength of mine (connecting a room is a bit of a superpower, not being modest about that one). Let’s chat!

  • Yes, and honestly, for a lot of teams this is the right call. You get someone internal who knows your people and your culture running the conversations day to day, and I make sure they've got the framework, the confidence, and the real answers when someone asks a question they weren't expecting. I stay close during rollout, then step back once it's running well without me in the room.

  • Very. Some organisations just need the Kit, licensed and run by your own P&C team. Others want full program design, green economy and STEM career literacy training for HR, or ongoing L&D consulting. Tell me the actual problem, I'll tell you what size solution it needs (sometimes it's smaller than you think, and I'll say so).

  • Depends what we're solving for, retention, engagement, manager confidence having these conversations at all. We'll agree on what "working" looks like before we start, not after.

  • Yes. I work nationally via Google Meet already, and the Kit and workshops both translate to remote delivery without losing what makes them work.

  • Anywhere from a single team to a whole org rollout. Tell me the size and shape of the problem, we'll figure out the right format together. PS I think small business owners deserve a gold medal. If you run a smaller business, I gotcha.
