HI, I'M ALICIA MCKAY
I've helped thousands of people to make smarter choices and level up their life, work and leadership by being more strategic about the choices they make and how they implement change.
I don't like doing things the usual way. I've been forging my own path in the world since I was just a kid - scheming my way out of foster care and into university as a teen parent. I've always been frustrated by the pace of change and progress, especially when I know there's a better way.
I've spent my career helping people to find that better way. First, as a policy analyst and strategic planner for government. Then, as a management consultant travelling across New Zealand and Australia to work with public and private sector leadership teams. I've always specialised in the tricky stuff - organisational strategy, long-term planning, controversial decisions and failed projects.
I've worked with some of New Zealand and Australia's most senior leaders. Here, I'm teaching the skills I wish my clients had been taught earlier - strategy, decision-making, and leadership.
