I'm Bev Simpson

Five words to describe me:

Mum | Optimist | Connector | Talker | Feeler

Who am I

I am mum of two active boys, who loves the ocean, the outdoors and any chance to get away camping! When I'm not helping ignite workplace cultures you'll usually find me down at the beach, hanging out with my family in the backyard, or binge reading Australian crime fiction novels!

I am curious, creative and chatty, I love asking questions and listening to the answers. I have a Bachelor of Arts (Hons), and am a certified HBDI practitioner, and a certified Elephant Rider (https://www.ridersandelephants.com/) I also volunteer as a primary ethics teacher at my son’s school and as a mentor for the Start-Up programs at I2N at University of Newcastle. 

My Experience

I have over 15 years experience in People & Culture, working for some of Australia's most iconic brands, from Channel 10 to Taronga Zoo. After a stint with nib Health Funds, in my beautiful home town of Newcastle, NSW, I started my own consultancy in November 2020. 

I have worked across all elements of the employee lifecycle from talent acquisition, employee and industrial relations, leadership development,  employee listening and experience, change management, learning and organisational development and remuneration and benefits.
