Inspiring purpose in others for a legacy of effective influence.
Helping business owners, leaders and teams find clarity, unlock potential and create lasting impact.
WHY
People don't need more information—they need greater clarity.
For many years we've partnered with business owners, leaders and organisations across New Zealand, helping them strengthen leadership, improve communication and build teams that perform at their best.
Everything we do is practical, relational and designed to create lasting change—not just another inspiring day.
VISION
To create a world where people live and lead with purpose, creating a positive and lasting legacy through their influence.
MISSION
Through trusted relationships, practical clarity and strengths-based development, we help people recognise their value, lead with confidence and intentionally use their influence to create better outcomes for themselves, their teams and future generations.
MY STORY
I asked myself a defining question:
With the time I have left, how can I add value to others and help release them into their purpose?
The answer became the foundation of Effective Influence.
To invest more of my time where I can make the greatest difference—helping people become the very best version of themselves, so they can live with greater purpose, lead with greater confidence, and create a positive influence wherever they go.
My approach is personal, practical and relational, drawing together coaching, mentoring, facilitation and the curiosity of a invested partner, and the experience of a strategic advisor. Every conversation is tailored to the individual, their circumstances and the outcomes they want to achieve.
I strive to be three things in every relationship: available, relatable and relevant. These values shape how I listen, challenge, encourage and walk alongside the leaders I work with.
Over many years I have built a broad and practical foundation of experience. Professionally, this spans operational leadership, production, human resources, health and safety, senior leadership, governance and board service. Beyond my professional career, I have invested extensively in community organisations, not-for-profit governance, start-up businesses and organisations navigating growth and change.
Together, these experiences have created what I often describe as a rich life library—drawn not only from success, but from challenge, learning and service. It enables me to bring practical wisdom, strategic thinking and genuine perspective to every coaching and mentoring partnership.
My purpose is simple:
To inspire purpose in others for a legacy of effective influence.
My name is Rhonda
I work part time alongside Paul as I coach. I was inspired to start this journey in my early 40's. I was so busy working, being a mother and a wife, that I lost sense of who I really was, as just myself. Learning about Strengths was a defining period, and that motivated me to share what I had learnt with others.
I am passionate about seeing others work and live out of their strengths. Coaching people around their full 34 strengths is a great tool for personal growth and self awareness as we dig deeper into your natural talents and abilities. We discuss how to manage weaknesses and how to build on what is already great within you. Delving deeper into your Strengths helps bring you clarity and intention moving forward.
My coaching portfolio is varied. I have worked with teens facing career decisions and retirees talking about the next phase of life. I have worked with not for profit groups and business groups. I love the diversity of what each person brings to a coaching session.
I have over 14 years experience as a Clifton Strengths coach and am currently a masterclass advisor to other coaches.
I look forward to being able to discuss your Strengths with you and help you discover the power and beauty within.
