DavidMallard.com – Opening Doorways to Development

Welcome!

We all have a story and here’s a little bit about mine…. I’ve been doing what I do for a fairly long time. I love engaging with people and opening doorways to development.

I am inspired by the ‘moments of grace’ that arise from guiding people into a place of personal insight and transformation – this inflection point is where ‘my great joy meets the world’s great need’.

I am a uniquely experienced father, consultant, adviser, trainer, coach, mentor, guide and student operating at the intersection of human capability development, organisational strategy, governance, risk management & assurance, culture & ethics and process effectiveness.

I have extensive ‘C’ suite and Board experience acquired in major Australian organisations including ANZ Bank and Australia Post. For several years I also worked across the Victorian state public sector with the Office of the Auditor-General.

I was the Chief Audit Executive of the Australian Postal Corporation for many years where I managed the Board’s Audit, Risk & Compliance program and reinvigorated the company’s Internal Assurance service. I was also a member of the organisation’s Culture, Ethics and Risk Management Committees.

I am a senior consultant with national business values and ethics consultancy Managing Values; I am also a senior adviser for CPA Australia where I consult on finance best practice, and human development on bespoke emotional intelligence and related programs. I also designed and facilitate the ‘Communication Influence and Trust’ development program for the Institute of Internal Auditors Australia.

I co-foundered Melbourne Men’s Group Inc., in 1998 – a not for profit, volunteer organisation and registered charity. In an era of uncertainty where the expectations of men and masculinity more broadly is an open question, we help men navigate their life through a collective and individual focus on community, personal growth and wellbeing.

Within that context I design and facilitate contemporary personal growth workshops for men including the Awakening the Conscious Man workshop and the Knowing the Conscious Man intensive. I have facilitated, coached and guided human development at hundreds of ‘circles’, workshops and breathwork programs.

I also recently launched the Wild Mind Training website – which focuses on offering development experiences inspired by the Soulcentric principles of the Nature Based Map of the Human Psyche – as developed by Bill Plotkin and team of the Animas Valley Institute (AVI) of Colorado.

I bring an eclectic mix of human insight and strategic capability to my consulting, people development, coaching and mentoring engagements. I am graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, a Fellow of CPA Australia and a Certified Information System Auditor.

I have Bachelor of Business (Accounting) and Master of Business (Information Technology) degrees and am certified in Neuro Linguistic Programming and Breathwork. In addition I hold a Cert. IV in Training & Assessment, and I am accredited in the DiSC personality profile.

I am actively involved in deep transformational learning as a member in AVI’s ground-breaking ‘Wild Mind’ training program which has almost 100 courageous participants from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Colombia, Canada, Europe, Brazil and the United States.

Aligned to AVI’s aspiration of transcending the flatland of contemporary western culture, I am also a council member of Soulcraft ANZ Inc.
