Background
A former Head of Inspection for Social Services and Manager of Children's prisons, Sian has always sought to protect the lives of society's most vulnerable.
Today, Sian takes these skills into the boardroom by assessing risk, protecting management and staff, and building a more compassionate, results driven future. She is unafraid to walk into the messy and difficult conversations our lives throw at us.
Sian's life journey has also taught her some harsh realities about fitting in, being 'good enough' and having self value. At the age of 10, Sian was classified as educationally 'subnormal'. Rejected by the state education system, and bullied by her peers - Sian was looking at a very different life, if not for her psychiatric nurse parents.
In 1975, at the age of 14, Sian was the first person in the UK to be assessed as dyslexic.
Sian attributes knowing and understanding her values as what got her through some major life crises. Her journey includes facing meningitis, almost dying in childbirth, redundancy, burnout, whistle blowing twice on government organisations, and being diagnosed with cancer four days before immigrating with her family to New Zealand.
Most recently, Sian has undergone bariatric surgery, and speaks on the realities of making such a life changing decision.
Sian has also hosted and contributed to two prime-time television series: The Big Stuff on TV3 and Starting Over on Vibe Sky TV. Both series sold internationally and assisted people to breakthrough crisis situations and create new opportunities.
