Alexandra Donaghy
Alexandra’s journey of resilience recovering from abandonment, mental illness, a company collapse and acute leukaemia is an inspiration. Her experience gives her a trusted and respected voice when speaking and advising on resilience and high performance.
She is driven by a passion for human potential and strategic growth, beginning with a simple goal: to help individuals and organisations unlock their true power. Over time, this has grown to be a mission for Alexandra; using her personal and corporate experiences to empower others and build high performance.
Alex has spent 30+ years working with businesses. Small teams. Big teams. Owner-operators. Mid-sized companies. Corporate. All with real growth ambition. She has built and led teams from the ground up in both business and NFP. Alexandra has worked behind the scenes with some of NZ’s most respected and controversial leaders. She is a pioneer and growth specialist enjoying the adventure of the project, especially when there’s momentum to build, a mess to unravel, or a team to rally. She is a voice to leaders, a business architect and execution specialist.
"Realising that you cannot control external things is a truth that will set you free. You cannot control what others say or how they behave, but you can control your own response. Understanding that what is inside you is greater than what is outside you is a liberating power" - Alexandra Donaghy
