My Journey with Truth and Trust
As a young girl I was captivated by Wonder Woman and her golden truth lasso. I marvelled at her ability to capture the bad guys and use the lasso to reveal the truth. Little did I know that I would go on to catch pursue justice in the real world and develop an even deeper fascination with the topic of truth.
At 22 I joined law enforcement, witnessing firsthand how truth and trust decisions could literally become life or death situations.
Truth has deeply fascinated me since I endeavoured to uncover the truth from my very first suspect when I was a 22-year-old freshly graduated Police Officer. I naively believed the shoplifter would quickly confess his crime and spill the truth because I was wearing a gun and a blue uniform - and because I asked nicely. Sadly he didn't. It seems simple, but that moment awakened me to the deeper complexities of truth, deception, and human behaviour. And so my journey began.
Some years later, whilst still in Law Enforcement, I was confronted by a shocking and bloodied scene. A woman in her 20’s had trusted the wrong person and let him into her home. Her trust decision nearly cost her life. My eyes were opened to the complexities of trust, reading human behaviour and the devastating risks that come with misplaced trust.
After law enforcement, I moved into sales and leadership before founding my training and consulting business in 2001, partnering with a polygraph expert to teach high-stake interview skills where getting the truth was critical.
Now, more than two decades later, I work across multiple business sectors and have spoken in 7 countries. I've trained high-level government agents dedicated to national security. I've worked with professionals striving to rebuild teams, relationships, and reputations—something that can only be achieved when trust is present at the core.
On this journey, I discovered the hidden power of trust that's often overlooked or undervalued. Trust is the foundation of every choice we make, every connection we build and every risk we take. Without healthy trust levels, relationships break, teams disconnect, and organisations suffer.
I developed Truth Intelligence™ and Trust Wisdom™ to help people develop conscious approaches to truth and trust. My work provides powerful insights that transform how people build stronger, safer and more connected relationships.
I’ve been described as engaging, warm, bold and witty with a no-nonsense style. I'm happy to adopt all those words as long as the end result means I create 'cut through' impact that transforms outcomes for individuals, teams, and organisations.
