In this intimate conversation, host Wendy sits down with global nomad, communication strategist, and author Davina Stanley, who takes us on her remarkable journey from teaching in Adelaide to building a life across four continents. With the warmth of old friends catching up, Davina and Wendy explore how constant relocation shapes one's sense of home and community—from navigating bear country in Seattle to finding familiar rhythms in unfamiliar places. At the heart of Davina's story lies her pioneering work in "Structured Thinking," a methodology she's mastered to help leaders and teams communicate complex ideas with clarity and impact. Having recently authored two complementary books, "Elevate" and "Engage," Davina reveals how her framework empowers executives and team members alike to craft cohesive narratives that accelerate the decision-making process. Whether you're facing life transitions or seeking to communicate your ideas more effectively, this conversation between Wendy and Davina offers a glimpse into how thoughtful structure creates freedom in both personal and professional spheres.
About Davina:
"I love the ‘Ah, got it' that comes when a client finds the breakthrough idea lurking beneath all the fluff. Helping them surface the big idea that they were struggling to articulate is magic. As is learning new things. Every day. That might be things about my clients or how to tweak my own style to help them achieve the maximum lift in communication quality in the minimum time. In helping clients from almost everywhere over the last 25+ years, I build on my experience at work and in life. I joke that I am likely the only kindergarten teacher hired by McKinsey. I am certainly one of a very few that Barbara Minto approved to teach the Pyramid Principle. Jokes aside, combining teaching, corporate communication and consulting experience with the school of life helps me meet my clients where they are at."
