Mary Harwood

Senior Facilitator and Adviser

Mary has extensive experience as a senior executive, having worked as a first assistant secretary in three Australian Government departments.

She understands, from long professional experience, the workings of government, including how departments can best work with ministers, Parliament and external stakeholders. She is an expert in policy development, program management and stakeholder relations.

As an expert facilitator, mentor and coach, Mary's seminars on resilience, negotiation and change management provide valuable insights into how to handle pressure when the going gets tough.

In her spare time she sings, not for her supper, but for the pure joy of choral harmonies.
