Why Slingshot?
A slingshot is an uncomplicated device that provides rapid forward motion. This is what we do. Slingshot Consulting exists to help organisations gain momentum quickly, by making organisational life easier.
We’re based in Brisbane, Australia and have been operating since April 2010. We’re nimble. Slingshot Consulting comprises Graham Miller and Jennifer West (founders and co-directors), and a network of like-minded practitioners with complementary skills who share similar values.
Graham Miller is an experienced organisational development practitioner with a Master’s in Human Resources and Organisational Development and a Grad Dip in HRM. He is an internationally-trained group facilitator, and is a Certified Professional Facilitator (International Association of Facilitators), a qualified MBTI and Six Thinking Hats practitioner, and is a certified Heartstyles facilitator.
Prior to consulting, Graham was a Royal Australian Navy aviator and spent 13 years in various senior roles in Queensland Government. Graham has consulted to many large organisations (government and private), not for profits and SMEs. He has a passion for working with groups, and has a keen interest in applying ‘human factors’ thinking (originally developed within the aviation industry) to everyday workplaces.
Jennifer West is an executive coach, kinesilogist, strategic communication and community consultation professional who works with groups and leaders to enhance organisational performance and manage stakeholders.
Jennifer has a Graduate Diploma in Communications and Public Relations, and a Diploma in Adult and Vocational Education. She is a qualified Level 3 Executive Coach (under the Institute Executive Coaching and Leadership), an experienced and trained group facilitator, and an accredited ‘Heartstyles’ facilitator.
Prior to consulting, Jennifer spent 17 years in Queensland Government before leading her own successful organisation. Jennifer has consulted to numerous large organisations and has developed a unique approach to executive coaching, based on kinesiology principles. She has a passion for helping leaders to be their authentic selves, and particularly enjoys working with women in leadership roles.
