Work Philoshophy
For Rowena, growth is achieved through the integration of brand experience, customer experience, people experience and innovation experience. Thereby driving growth from the “outside in” (customer and brand) and the “inside out” (people and innovation).
She advocates “horizontal growth” – showing organisations how to integrate and operationalise an end to end approach, which elevates collaboration and breaks down siloes.
Passionate About People
Rowena has consistently proven that transformation happens fastest through people. Her ability to combine business insight with people insight ensures solutions are owned and actioned at scale. She works across all levels of organisations helping to unravel the knots which hold businesses and people back and then implement the new capabilities they need to move forward.
Fascinated with how to re-engage change fatigued organisations, Rowena developed a proprietary methodology - Uncomfortable Growth, which integrates a growth mindset with resilience, and a progressive methodology on how to turn tough business challenges into new possibilities and opportunities.
Lead Educator
Rowena is also a leading educator on all 4 of the experience vectors. She has developed multiple leading-edge programs across marketing, CX, & leadership - focused on the future skills organisations need to succeed now.
Her real world examples are combined with adult experiential learning principles to embed the learning to realise business value. Her free “how to” videos (seen weekly on LinkedIn & Facebook) are part of her commitment to upskill the next generation of business leaders.
Rowena is on the ADMA Education Committee, and developed the Marketing Skills Assessment - the leading industry capability tool for marketers. You can find out more about it below.
Family Philosophy
Having juggled 20 years of marriage, 2 international careers (with her husband), cancer, and 2 beautiful girls, Rowena believes that all women can chose the life they want.
As part of giving back, she frequently mentors other women in how they can thrive with the choices they make, and how those choices can evolve.
When she can – Rowena loves escaping to Pearl Beach on the Central Coast in NSW (her happy place) and reading books on the beach, swimming, laughing and dreaming of what next.
