Toni Snelgrove

During her extensive work experience, Toni came to recognise that opportunities and leadership talent frequently were being lost through disconnects between executives and their employer, so she formed Snelgrove and Associates with the goal of assisting executives to realise their authentic potential, and thereby add compelling value for their employer.

In May 2007, Toni co-created the Altris partnership, a leadership and executive coaching company, and was a co-director of Altris for nearly eight years. Through this experience, she fine-tuned her expertise around high-performing, agile teams, as well as the complementary leadership styles required to help a small business partnership thrive.

She’s also served on the board, or as a steering group member, of several professional organisations. For example, between 2007 and 2009, Toni was New Zealand credentialing leader on the ICFA (International Coach Federation Australasia) board. And between 2010 and 2013, she was a steering group member of the New Zealand-based Coaching Psychology Special Interest Group.

 

“After the sessions with Toni, I come away with a calmness that feels like I have risen another step in my conscious leadership journey and really reflect on the possibilities of taking some different approaches to the way I tackle things.”

– Wendy Paul, former GM Group Resilience and Risk, Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd
