Gamechanging insights for
high performance outcomes
I'm a speaker, author, researcher and Winston Churchill Fellow who has travelled the globe examining the barriers and opportunities of diversity.

Coupling my unique narrative as the AFL's first female Grand Final umpire with world's best practice, my insights are backed by evidence-based data brought to life by real stories.

I help people to reframe the challenges of diversity and inclusion into opportunities driving competitive advantage.
Diversity done well
“Ticking boxes” to achieve gender balance or diversity goals often reveals ingrained cultural issues which, if not addressed, are detrimental to diversity strategies.

My work dismantles this mindset and encourages people to strategically embrace their personal influence, regardless of background.

Diversity doesn't need to be a game of winners and losers. I can help you create environments where individuals and teams thrive.
Tailored consulting
I engage people who are ready to shake up the status quo, bringing curiosity and creativity to the way they lead and participate.

People who work with me build successful approaches to gender balance and diversity of thinking, because they go beyond the superficial level. They seek to find the place where nuance meets simplicity, by being:
  • Equipped with the knowledge and confidence to enhance their purpose through diversity.
  • Inspired to act, navigating complex challenges with simple and practical solutions.
  • Valued for their smart, strategic alignment to broader organisational goals.

Chelsea was generous with both her story and her time, making a significant contribution to engagement with clubs and staff after the formalities of the event. The workshop generated many light bulb moments for attendees and was a great way to set expectations.

We were absolutely stoked with Chelsea's presentation. She was able to cut to the chase, credibly speaking the language of her audience. She was also a breeze to work with, astoundingly generous with her time following the event, and utterly down to earth.
