Creating leaders who inspire and transform
Through Tracey’s practical experience, research and work she has been able to help countless organisations, educational institutions and leaders embrace collective learning cultures that are rooted in Ferocious Warmth.
Tracey’s unique approach sees schools and organisations evolve into vibrant hubs of growth, where Ferocious Warmth and Professional Learning Cultures fuse seamlessly, echoing the symphony of high-quality results and authentic relationships. Using the frameworks explored in her books Ferocious Warmth, The Buzz and Glue, Tracey becomes your partner in transformation, helping you to create a change that lasts.
Rather than just focusing on the work, Tracey understands that successful leadership and collaboration comes from balancing the head and the heart. Utilising the strengths you already have and helping you develop the skills that you may not have realised you were missing, Tracey helps you to work as a collective, creating the psychological safety needed to have courageous conversations and continually learn from each other as a way to grow and build momentum.

How we can work together
Ferocious Warmth – Leadership Teams
If you want your organisation to grow, to adapt, to be strategically placed for the future, then you need not just leaders, but a team. You need more than people who exchange time for a wage, you need a team that cares about each other, cares about the results and cares about how they show up in the organisation. Bring Ferocious Warmth to your leadership teams.

What clients have had to say
What truly set Tracey apart was her adeptness at engaging the audience. Through clear processes and tailored approaches, she crafted a day that resonated with our specific context and design brief. Her understanding of our sites and leaders fostered a sense of psychological safety, allowing for open dialogue and meaningful exploration of ideas.
Moreover, the differentiated strategies she shared were invaluable for culture building at our sites. By emphasizing relationships and connections with leaders, she underscored the importance of aligning actions with our overarching strategy of fostering cultural cohesion.

The power in Tracey’s work is centred on what the school needs, supporting us through this challenging time firstly as a whole staff, then working with the leadership team and then to working with PLC leaders and their immediate teams. We have developed a common language across the school guided by Tracey’s tools and strategies and creating our own new master stock.
You are in great hands if you work with Tracey, she is practical, knowledgeable, real and inspirational. This makes a world of difference.
Natalie Rose, Ripponlea Primary School
A fabulous choice to help empower our Middle Leaders in the work they do in our schools. Leading with your ‘head’ and your ‘heart’, knowing which strength to draw on when having the professional discussions with a teacher or members of a Leadership team is pivotal to success in leading with integrity and challenge when necessary. Great opportunity for our Middle Leaders to reflect on knowing their why, purpose and having an end goal/insight in mind however to also be open to the goal/outcome.
Principal, Toowoomba Diocese of Catholic Schools
Working with Tracey and a group of inspiring women I was able to learn more about who I want to be as a leader and be able to articulate what that looks like in practice. I was able to sit with the difficult questions, reflect on our conversations and readings and clarify where to next in my leadership journey.
Felicity Broughtman, St Agatha's Primary School
Tracey delivered a highly engaging whole day workshop with our entire staff of 100. She sensitively navigated the “cultural ladder” and provided a framework for staff to buy into “The Buzz” and there has certainly been a buzz about the place since then!
