About Me

Vanessa Toy

Director and Principal Consultant, Lead From Within
MAppSc (OD), Dip (PW), AdvCert (Facilitation)

Vanessa has been working in leadership, organisational development, human resources, facilitation, training and conflict management since 2000. With a Masters in Organisation Dynamics, she has a strong capacity to understand and work with organisation and group dynamics that have a profound impact on performance, collaboration, workplace culture, innovation and the capacity to lead and adapt to change.

Vanessa has undertaken extensive training in Process Oriented Psychology (Process Work) and Worldwork, and now holds the highest qualification available in this discipline.

Process Work is a cross-disciplinary methodology based on the principles of deep democracy and person-centred practice.

With roots in Taoism, quantum physics and Jungian psychology, Process Work brings insight into interpersonal dynamics and training in deep diplomacy skills. It is a powerful methodology that helps us to understand and develop solutions for complex issues arising in groups, team, individuals and organisations.
