About Lyndell Fogarty

Leadership Advisor to Founders, CEOs and Boards.

For more than two decades I have worked at the intersection of leadership, strategy and human dynamics — supporting organisations to navigate complexity, resolve tension and move forward with clarity.

Leaders often engage me in moments where something feels off. When growth has slowed, leadership teams are misaligned, or difficult conversations need to happen but no one is quite sure how to begin.

My role is to help leaders see clearly, surface truth and restore alignment so progress can continue.

Experience & Perspective

My perspective is shaped by more than two decades working with leaders across corporate, entrepreneurial and community environments.

My experience includes:

  • senior executive roles in human resources and organisational leadership

  • founding and leading performHR, a people and culture advisory business supporting organisations to navigate complex workforce and leadership challenges

  • advising founders and leadership teams navigating growth, transition and organisational complexity

  • serving as a Non-Executive Director for the Varley Group

  • founding and building businesses, including MOA & Co in Newcastle, a conscious marketplace and community hub

  • supporting organisations through complex people, culture and strategy challenges

Alongside my corporate and entrepreneurial experience, I hold an International Coaching Community (ICC) Coach Certification, which deepens my work in leadership awareness, decision-making and human dynamics.

My work is also informed by the study of leadership, human behaviour and frameworks such as Human Design, which offer powerful insight into how individuals lead, make decisions and interact within teams.

This combination of strategic insight, lived leadership experience and human awareness allows me to hold space for the conversations that matter most — particularly in moments where clarity, alignment and courageous leadership are required.

The Work I Do

I am often invited into organisations when:

  • leadership teams are misaligned or experiencing tension

  • founders are navigating complex partnership dynamics

  • strategy has stalled or momentum has slowed

  • growth requires a reset in leadership alignment

  • difficult conversations need to happen at executive or board level

These moments can be challenging, but they also hold the potential for meaningful change.

My work focuses on helping leaders navigate these moments with clarity, honesty and thoughtful decision-making.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This work is designed for founders, CEOs and boards navigating complex leadership and organisational challenges. It is most valuable for:

Founders leading businesses through growth, transition or shifting dynamics

CEOs navigating performance, leadership alignment and/or strategic challenges

Boards seeking independent, experienced perspective on leadership and organisational effectiveness

I don’t help leaders become someone new.

I help them lead from who they already are.

This is leadership from truth.
