I am a governance and communications professional with over twenty years of experience assisting organisations to deliver transformational change. After graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce from the esteemed University of Wollongong, I embarked on a professional career in consultancy. I began with the global all-rounder Accenture and moved to the smaller specialist firm Effective Governance. My empathetic nature, coupled with a deep understanding of the relevant issues, allowed me to connect with individuals on a profound level. Through my MBA studies, I was particularly drawn to addressing issues such as employee engagement, cultural change, and leadership communications. To gain greater experience implementing solutions to these issues, I joined the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads in 2004 as a Principal Advisor. Here, I delivered innovative programs that provided education and mentorship for the leadership team, covering the areas of governance, strategic management, performance management and compliance. As a freelance consultant, I am regularly called upon to provide governance, strategy and communications advice to clients across the globe, working closely with executives to enable corporate change. I specialise in governance, strategic management, performance management, issues analysis, change management, corporate communications (including grants, business cases and annual reports) and facilitation. Here is a testimonial from my most recent client. ROB TAYLOR HEAD OF COMMUNICATIONS, RSL LIFECARE NOVEMBER 2023 Belinda has been a contracted professional writer for my communications team for almost 18 months and in that time has proven to be an invaluable asset. She is a consummate professional that can write in multiple styles for a broad range of audiences, and is able to her to jump straight into projects and make a considerable impact from the get-go. Belinda is trustworthy and beyond reproach with a very solid work ethic. I have always had absolute trust in her abilities to excel in whatever job she is assigned, and her work is always the highest standard possible. She is able to quickly research for backgrounding and is extremely experienced in all forms of corporate communication. She has handled everything from CEO announcements and speeches, our Annual Report, federal government project bids, to stock standard internal communications. To be honest, I cannot recommend Belinda more highly and could ramble on for ages as to her incredible skill, experience and lovely nature. She is a delight to work with and I doubt you could ever find anyone better for your communications or writing projects.Change ManagementReport WritingBlog WritingChange CommunicationCorporate GovernanceBusinessStrategyStrategic Plan - $70 hourly

Behind every creative person, every small and growing business, is an Alfred. There comes a point in the development of every business where if an organizational overhaul doesn't take place, scaling isn't possible. That's where I come in.

These various experiences have given me invaluable insights into different industries, processes, tools and departments.

I have 15+ years experience creating exciting products and driving execution. As an "expert-vetted" by UpWork, I'm proud to say that I'm in the top 1% of all UpWorkers globally. I'm a Project Manager because I love working with enthusiastic and driven leaders to evolve their businesses and get to the next level of revenue and growth, and by having fun doing it. This is my craft! Every business is different, so my discovery process involves co-developing a bespoke solution that specifically fits your team's needs. There are many powerful tools in my toolkit, including: (1) ClickUp (2) Software Development (3) Problem Solving for product market fit (4) Systems and Process Execution I'm also a business owner and entrepreneur, so I understand the challenges many business owners face. It can be a lonely endeavor, so I also have a goal to make leveling up your business a fun and memorable experience. I've also been asked to take over projects in poor health. My unique "project health check" can help unlock immediate insights and action items that will actually make a difference. Some questions to get you started: ♦ Do you find your projects often going "off the rails" in terms of budget or schedule? ♦ Is your plate so full that you are often unsure of where to start? ♦ Does managing a team feel stressful and more a burden than an asset? ♦ Have you been burned by a vendor or agency that failed to deliver what you expected? ♦ Would you like to have someone at your side that you can truly trust? I should add that with every engagement, I lead with our team's values. This means that everyone on our team lives: organization, honesty, wellness, reliability, experimentation, and service. Our values are what help us execute with the level of precision and skill that is necessary to carry out our work. One of the biggest insights I've had over the last year is the importance of strategic partners. I hope that you'll be more than just a client -- but actually a partner -- as I believe in the old adage: "a rising tide lifts all boats." I'd love to partner with you to help ideate and execute on your plan. If that involves software, I have an in-house team that can do that. If it involves running a team, we can do that. If it involves thoughtful analysis and research, we can do that. For wherever you're trying to get to, I'll help you get there. FAVORITE TOOLS: PM: ClickUp, GSuite, Slack, GitHub, Zapier Methodology: Scrum Design: Figma, WebFlow Content: InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere E-Commerce: Hubspot, Shopify, Wix Stack: Mongo, Express, React, Node Analytics: Sentry, Firebase, Mixpanel HYDRANT AGENCY OPTIONS: I'm fortunate to have a deep team of talent that works with me, including a strong stable of Project Managers, Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, and more. Some of our best projects come to us as partners, and we help them grow with multiple resources on their project. Since we're Project Managers first and foremost, we manage the team seamlessly, driving towards your desired business outcomes. Notably, we helped an enterprise client take a 45-slide PowerPoint deck, and through our team helped them get to $1M revenue within 12 months. That's the power of teamwork! NEXT STEPS: Well, what are you waiting for? I'd love to talk about your project and help you bring some peace to the chaos of growing a business.Change ManagementDigital Project ManagementProject PlansUX & UIProject PrioritizationProject ObjectivesDecision MakingBusiness ManagementManagement SkillsLeadership CoachingProject SchedulingProject AnalysisProject Management - $150 hourly

She'll take a vision you share with her and make it a reality, but even better than you could have articulated. She's precise in her work, with a critical eye for detail, both in terms of editing and documenting but also in scoping out longterm projects. She is able to balance holding people accountable, while being adaptable to changes as they inevitably arise. Working with Aja over the past year and a half has been a privilege, and I could not recommend her higher for any project." ~ Lacey J Cope; Head of Coaching & Development, Insight Data Science ____________ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"The ability to methodically think through difficult decisions and swiftly take action is an invaluable quality that’s extremely hard to teach, but something I look for in just about everyone I work with - Aja has this in spades. Her superpower is the ability to take the wheel of a veering ship and get it back on course. In particular, she took a developer project that was months overdue (aka a sinking ship) and reconciled / closed it out within several weeks. Coupled with her business acumen, strong self-motivation and leadership capabilities, she’s a unique talent and a genuine joy to work with." ~Jonathan Barshop; Co-founder of Lemonpie.fm - - - - - EXPERIENCE - - - - - * 3+ years fractional COO experience managing B2B consulting firm * 15+ years Project Management experience in Fortune 500 corporations * 15+ years Business Systems Analyst experience implementing and testing Human Resources systems - - - - - TOP SOFT SKILLS - - - - - ~ Prioritization ~ Disciplined ~ Driven ~ Self-starter ~ Initiator ~ Critical Thinker ~ Researcher - - - - - MORE ABOUT ME - - - - - I am passionate about letting my work speak for me.
