Craig Marcombe

Craig embarked on his career in facilitation around 30 years ago, and in recent years evolved his skills to include executive coaching and coach supervision.  Craig offers a wealth of experience over three decades in both private and public sectors, across of wide range of industries in Australia, UK, South Pacific and Asia. His primary areas of focus have been in Defence, hospitality, finance, retail, marine, overseas aid and consulting.

His early experience included leading small military teams in a range of operational roles as a helicopter pilot. More recently he led a team of facilitators who were responsible for the development and delivery of 90% of the Royal Australian Navy’s leadership programs.

Craig has facilitated workshops for the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Aid, the Asian Development Bank, The University of the South Pacific, Alchemy and Maura Fay Learning, HSBC, Laing O’Rourke, Metropolis, NSW EPA, NSW LPU, DPIE NSW, Commonwealth Senate, Icon Water, Chartered Accountants Aust & NZ, and Department of Defence.

Craig’s approach can best be summed up by his personal “why”, which is “To inspire others to be the best version of themselves so that the world can be a more positive place for us all (because life is too short to do anything else!)”. He is passionate about using this philosophy in all his endeavours.
