About Curve of the World (CotW)
What’s in a name
Broken Hill is a small mining town in the Australian outback. One perfectly still evening, I was mesmerised as the sun set and a beautiful full moon rose over the Living Desert. I looked out to the western horizon and in that moment I saw the magnificent curve of the world and it stirred in me a profound sense of the possibility of human potential. The business was born – as a celebration of what is possible in our lives. The key foundations of the business are passion, curiosity and a genuine belief in supporting people and organizations to flourish. My philosophy is simple – provide the space for the individual to experience a deep understanding of who they are as a leader, for the team to craft a collective journey to unlock their potential and ultimately for the organization to flourish and achieve their vision and mission.
