Carl has worked with hundreds of leaders across the New Zealand Public Service, from emerging leaders to senior executives. As a registered psychologist and leadership coach, he helps people navigate complex workplace challenges, strengthen their leadership capability, and perform effectively under pressure. He also has particular expertise in supporting leaders with ADHD and other forms of neurodiversity.
Drawing on his background in leadership assessment, Carl has a deep understanding of what is required to succeed in demanding leadership roles. Having assessed and developed leaders across a wide range of organisations, he brings a broad perspective on the challenges leaders face and the approaches that enable them to thrive. This enables him to provide practical, evidence-based coaching that is tailored to each individual's goals and circumstances.
Carl's coaching integrates organisational psychology with Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACT), helping leaders respond more effectively to stress, self-doubt, difficult emotions and uncertainty. Rather than simply addressing immediate challenges, he works with clients to develop greater psychological flexibility, build on their strengths, and make purposeful decisions that align with their values and long-term aspirations.
Carl is Principal Psychologist at Cerno Ltd, where he specialises in leadership assessment and development. His extensive experience working with leaders across the Public Service gives him a strong understanding of the unique demands of public sector leadership and the practical realities of leading people through change.
Carl is a registered psychologist with a PhD in Psychology.
