Linda Martin
Linda works with organisations that are intent on improving the number of women in senior leadership. She does this by drawing out the best thinking of both women and men to achieve a balanced and strong culture of inclusion, believing that by involving men and women in creating the leaders of tomorrow, we make it a “leadership” issue, not a women’s issue.
She helps organisations and individuals achieve a balanced and supportive culture by speaking, facilitating and coaching on subjects such as:
• Influencing through others
• Exploring unconscious bias
• Increased job flexibility
• Career partnering
• Understanding behavioural differences
• Meeting room respect
• Listening with purpose & meaning
Previously, Linda worked in financial services for over 20 years, including as an Executive Vice President at BT Financial Group, managing a National Client Relations Department of over 300 people.
Combining hundreds of hours in coaching male and female senior executives with her experience in the corporate world, Linda brings a unique perspective about how strong relationships between leaders, male and female, are key to a successful culture.
Linda is the author of two books about making sense of financial matters. She lives in Sydney with her husband and two children and has two stepchildren and three step-granddaughters.

Roger Coles
“As a working father of two boys, I’ve personally experienced the trials and tribulations of balancing a career with family-life over a number of years. It doesn’t get any easier!
I believe that everyone can benefit from support in working out what they want as a parent and as a professional. Similarly, employers don’t always find it easy to adapt to the changing needs of parents, whilst still achieving demanding organisational goals. Working with people to navigate these challenges fits with my personal values around creating workplaces that are, above all, human places”
Roger Coles is a facilitator, coach and consultant with 25 years of experience in the fields of individual and organisational development. He has worked with managers and leaders in a broad range of industries including financial services, professional services, media and communications, retail, manufacturing, transport and automotive.
Roger passionately believes that there is untapped potential in all of us. He sees his role as providing developmental experiences that help people access this more readily, and channel it in the most productive ways to deliver personal and business success. He recognises that the modern business environment presents some unique challenges, which many of us feel ill-equipped to navigate. So, creating the right learning environment, where people feel able to look at themselves honestly and try out new things, is a key feature of his approach.
