Tina Paterson is the global expert in working smarter and on your own terms – helping leaders get extraordinary outcomes in fewer hours while working from anywhere. She is changing the way people in large corporations work, so they can get their work done effectively AND look after themselves and their teams. 

With a wealth of experience spanning over 20 years, it’s no surprise that clients describe Tina as inspirational, strategic and instrumental. Having worked across multiple industries around the world, Tina has led large departments, governed billions of dollars of assets, and steered teams to deliver transformational programs and projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The epitome of commitment and passion, Tina lives life by the smarter principles she practises. 

She is a mother of two and wife to husband James, a multiple marathon runner and million-dollar charity-raiser. She takes three-month family sabbaticals every five years, runs a successful business with clients across six continents and nurtures 10,000+ blog followers. 

How does she do it all? Turn the clock back almost a decade and you’ll find Tina seriously ill and miserable in the Emergency Department hospitalised with pneumonia – the result of many long hours at work coupled with stress, burn-out and self-neglect. It was the catalyst that changed everything. It’s the outcome of these experiences that form the deep care Tina has for helping other Corporate Leaders. 

She dispels the entrenched notions of time, effectiveness and being in the office, and instead teaches the hard-earned strategies she has learned first-hand, to move from exhaustion and being overwhelmed to being a happier, healthier, and more productive leader, wife and parent.
