ABOUT RIGHT TURN TRIBES
Our Story
Hi I'm Giles
Chief Right-Turner at Right Turn Tribes.
I work on one simple principle: "How can I help you?"
My passion is to help people and communities navigate important choice points and make intentional 'right turns’ towards purpose, performance and possibility by aligning character, culture and capability.
With over 20 years of experience in guiding strategy, transformation and change across a diverse portfolio, I bring a unique blend of skills to help organisations, leaders and teams grow strategic capability, adapt to change and develop positive and high performing cultures by design.
I also help people grow personally and professionally. By leaning into the power of character, positive human connections and supportive communities - I empower people to be 'right-turners' in their own work and lives.
My drive to help people grow and thrive has origins in my personal story of joy and adversity - including fighting blood cancer, living well with leukaemia and being a Dad to a beautiful child with autism.
My Credentials
Working at the intersection of character, culture, capability and strategy has been the foundation to sustained professional and personal purpose through connection, impact and growth.
I am committed to continuous and proactive learning - to develop and apply skills to support better outcomes.
