About Gavin
Gavin is a facilitator and consultant professional specializing in high performing teams, leadership, planning and people management.
Gavin’s background has been quite varied but could be best divided into two key areas. Travel and community sport. He have been fortunate to live and work in places like Tennant Creek, London and Berlin which provided him with great experiences and different perspectives on the world. With regards to community sport Gavin has worked with the AFL, Australian Sports Commission and Anyinginyi Aboriginal Health Corporation helping improve governance, culture and coaching.
When old management practices are no longer effective, Gavin provides fresh ideas and a modern perspective that delivers high performing people and organisations.
As a facilitator and manager Gavin has assisted private, government and community organisations reach both their potential and organisational objectives.
“I have been extremely privileged to experience leadership in many different environments from sporting teams as a captain, coach and board member to leading a team of Indigenous staff. Growing and building teams from scratch to managing and reporting to boards. Through this time, I have come across many great leaders who I have learnt so much from and plenty of poor leaders who have taught me valuable lessons in what not to do.” – Gavin Mahony
