Working at the highest levels of government, corporate and global enterprises, Naomi Knight has been instrumental in solving some of the most wicked problems.
A born strategist, Naomi has the innate ability to combine disruptive creativity, collaboration and agility to energise organisations from the inside out – starting with their leaders.
She is able to instil in her clients the confidence to lead and the conviction to build more resilient, responsive teams ready to face adverse conditions, both inside and outside of the workplace.
A trusted adviser and business leader, Naomi has been untangling complex interpersonal and organisational dynamics for over twenty years’. Working with some of the world’s leading institutions (nationally and internationally), Naomi is one of Australia’s most thoughtful experts on resilience, leadership, culture and how to orchestrate organisational resources to achieve purpose.
Adept at managing trauma and crisis, Naomi builds effective collaborations to resolve immediate problems and address deeper systemic issues; creating sustainable long-term outcomes.
Perhaps most importantly, Naomi understands that leadership hurts.
Key to her methods is a deep understanding of leadership and its emotional impact on the health and wellbeing on the individual, organisation, immediate and extended workforce. Naomi knows that leadership can be the source of debilitating organisational decay characterised by employee disengagement, workplace bullying and harassment, rising rates of stress, anxiety and depression and low levels of customer satisfaction.
Tired of witnessing spiralling devastation resulting from band-aid solutions that set individuals and organisations up for failure, Naomi embarked on a journey to establish her own practice to create sustainable long term solutions.
She creates and holds the space for her clients to be themselves, to acknowledge and embrace their vulnerabilities, articulate and imagine their goals and build the necessary strength, courage and capability to manifest their potential.
Utilising a dynamic and demanding process, Naomi guides individuals and teams beyond barriers. The result? Cultivating the conscious, compassionate, creative, collaborative leaders which are critical to creating workplaces, organisations, communities and societies that support and nurture individuals and families.
Choosing collaborators from a crowded marketplace is always a challenge, so I look for a values alignment to ensure I’m working with people who share my passions. My values guide every aspect of my life and play a critical role in founding collaborations that work. After many years of exploring my values, I have come to realise that I value the following: Curiosity and finding possibility everywhere; Transformation through continuous learning, wisdom and humility; Intention & Attention in all things; Creativity and disruption; and Resilience. And I believe we all deserve glitter in our teacups.
I am inspired by those who can imagine an end state and then make the process of achieving it – joyful, inspirational and empowering.
