Author, Mentor, Coach

How I got started on this path

Dr Elizabeth King is recognised as a one of Australia’s leading authorities on leadership development. Over the last three decades, she has worked as an advisor, mentor, executive coach, and facilitator, focusing on organisational, team and individual performance in disruptive contexts. She has worked with some of the region’s biggest companies, designing and delivering solutions that build the competencies and culture required for navigating complexity. Dr. King’s work integrates transparency, accountability, and social purpose—all vital to performance in a disruptive environment.

Her PhD thesis “Developing Leaders to perform in uncertainty” provides insight into the challenges facing leaders who are navigating increasing levels of systemic pervasive change and resultant uncertainty. It explores the role that mindfulness might play in developing leaders and their organisations to succeed in such conditions.

An Amazon best-selling author on mindfulness in the workplace with “Buddha in Pinstripes”, Dr King’s consulting clients have included Australian and international organisations in health care, financial services, technology and communications, and fast-moving consumer goods sectors, as well as professional service firms.
