Lucy Mayes

Lucy Mayes is a respected and award-winning leadership development and engagement professional, a published author, Tedx presenter and sought-after presenter and facilitator. Lucy’s unique skill set draws on her training as a lawyer, social worker and company director and her work across multiple settings including corporate, health, education, the arts, local government and not for profit. Lucy’s work generally involves program, process and project design and delivery, strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, leadership development, culture change and group facilitation and she has an emerging practice in partnership brokering. She also works part time as Manager of Engagement for The Hush Foundation and collaborates with PosMed in supporting positive change in medical and healthcare cultures.

Lucy’s pioneering work in leadership development has been recognised with her being awarded the Australian Rural Women’s Award, Victorian Runner Up in 2008, and a Rotary Paul Harris Fellowship in 2000.
