LHQ worked with the leadership team for their $900 Million rail project for over 12 months. This project is a very important project for Aurizon and they were committed to making sure their leaders were being supported, developed and effective.
As their Project Leadership Coach, I worked closely with the leaders and their teams to develop and implement interventions based on leadership, project and team effectiveness and excellence. We facilitated team effectiveness and alignment sessions across the project segments, implemented culture and engagement strategies, conducted Leadership Excellence coaching with all the senior leaders and ran safety interventions and assessments. We worked closely with the General Manager and Project Director to make sure we had our finger on the pulse of the challenges that the leaders and teams were facing as well as developing and partnering with them as their trusted leadership advisors.
We continue to work with Aurizon on their major projects as their Project Leadership Consultant.
