Adventure West is an Australian human resource company promoting the growth and effectiveness of PEOPLE. Our key focus is on leadership, team development and facilitation. 

Our experienced team makes this all possible.

Peter’s experience is very diverse. He has earned respect for his integrity and passion, and the values and rigour that he applies to his work. Peter works as a learning facilitator and business coach with leaders and organisations across private and government sectors in Australasia and Asia.

Ingrid

People, their development and interaction have always been Ingrid’s key focus over the past 25 years. With a background in both Sociology and Psychology, having an active working knowledge collected through a diversity of employment she has put together a suite of skills and experience that continues to grow. This in turn adds strength to building skills in other people allowing them to harness their inner abilities and talents.
 
Over the past 10 years Ingrid has worked with Adventure West facilitating discovery learning (within the scope of ‘Experiential Learning’) in unique, remote and secluded environments. This has offered her the opportunity to work with research bodies, Australia’s largest mining companies, farming communities, the commercial, construction and financial sectors in an ever changing environment.

A major focus has been building and changing workplace cultures and processes, to meet contemporary demands in goals and organisational visions. Building Teams to achieve greater than expected potential and deliver outcomes that exceed benchmarks previously measured for teamwork.
