It's your journey - travel it well with Turas
Welcome to Turas, where I’m here to guide you on a meaningful journey. As a proud Scot with over 26 years in Marketing, Communications, and Business Management, my mission is to help you find your true path and build a legacy you love and can be proud of.
Since 2007, I’ve successfully transformed the lives of leaders in Marketing, Communications & Business by enabling them to lift up out of the day-to-day slog and imagine a different journey. To become a trusted, strategic partner and to take measurable action on their ideas – often at pace or under significant pressure.
Throughout my career, I’ve seen many different leadership perspectives and overcome a range of leadership challenges along the way. I’ve helped many people find, unblock, accelerate their path as well as take a completely different path – both professionally and personally.
Life has taught me many things, including resilience and clarity, after experiencing profound personal loss, including the passing of my husband, and encountering professional challenges such as bullying and stereotyping. These experiences fuel my commitment to helping you navigate your own path with confidence and purpose.
At Turas — which means 'journey' in Scottish Gaelic — I offer an array of coaching programmes that cater to different facets of personal and professional growth. Each programme is grounded in the pillars of Space, Power and Resilience providing the clarity, skills, and inner strength you need to thrive and leave a meaningful impact across all areas of your life.
Collaborating with the Marketing Association NZ and PRINZ (Public Relations Institute of NZ), I strive to elevate our profession and empower leaders just like you. My work includes supporting SME owners as a Business Mentor and serving causes close to my heart, like Brain Tumour Support NZ.Image
Being part of The Edge Programme in Mastermind USA —a renowned Marketing Mastermind —connects me with the top 50 global knowledge business owners in the Academy, including 6, 7, and 8-figure entrepreneurs. This community inspires me to integrate world-class coaching practices and innovations, bringing this valuable expertise back to New Zealand for your benefit.
As a wife and mother of two teenagers, I understand the balancing act between personal and professional life. My personal journey inspires me to support you as you pursue your ambitions while managing life’s multi-faceted challenges.
Looking ahead, I envision a future where Marketing and Communications professionals like you are celebrated as influential leaders empowered through self-discovery to drive impactful change and leave a lasting legacy.
Join me at Turas, and let’s transform your journey into a testament of what you value most. I’ll help you accelerate your journey, avoid the pitfalls I’ve faced, and empower you to live your true legacy.

I’ve set up Turas based on my core beliefs:
CONNECTED JOURNEY
Every facet of life is a journey—your career, leadership, and home life—interconnected. A positive step in one area ripples across all others.
LEGACY JOURNEY
Every one of us has the potential to create a lasting legacy. Sometimes, our deepest fears, the stories we tell ourselves, the people around us, and the uncertainty of where we want to head can hold us back.
Real, lasting change starts with understanding your identity — your intrinsic wiring — so you can make an enduring impact both personally and professionally.
ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY
You deserve to be excited about possibilities, experiencing the wonder along the way instead of fixating on the destination or the next goal.
SPACE, POWER & RESILIENCE ARE THE SECRETS TO A GREAT JOURNEY
At the heart of Turas lies three foundational pillars: Space, Power, and Resilience.
Together, these pillars create the essential framework for unlocking your full leadership potential and achieving sustained success across all facets of life - with less strain, more joy, and more meaningful growth. Together, let’s make the ripple effect a reality in your life and beyond.
SPACE
The clarity and headspace to realign your true self with your goals, whether guiding your journey personally or with your team.
POWER
The skills, strategies, and tools to lead confidently and influence change, enhancing both your individual path and team dynamics.
RESILIENCE
The inner strength to stay the course, fostering growth and adaptability within yourself and as a leader of your team.
Real Life Success Stories
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lindsey is a tremendous coach. Conversations were very clear about what we wanted to get out of a coaching session. She’s good at challenging answers and ideas, without this seeming confronting, and this is where she helped me see opportunities for changing my people leadership style. These I have taken into my new role, and I am using continuously.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
From the very beginning Lindsey worked closely with me to identify the outcomes my team and I needed from the workshop and to make sure that the day was designed with these specifically in mind. The time flew by - Lindsey is a really engaging and thoughtful facilitator with skills to read the room and encourage participation from even the shyest member of a team. Our workshop was focused on creating one team with a shared purpose and to kick off the development of a new strategy. I walked away at the end of the day feeling like a weight had lifted from my shoulders. My team had got to know each other better and understand the depth of skills and experience they bring to work every day. We'd agreed our shared purpose, identified and committed to the actions we would take to make us successful as a team. And we had the framework of the strategy in place. The icing on the cake was that members of my team independently told me how much they had valued and enjoyed the day. The workshop was such a great investment for us - I'd highly recommend it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lindsey is a natural coach, but does this by servant leadership and by example, and by doing so, provides a high level of confidence and provides an environment here where great can be done, both at an individual and team level. By providing high levels of; education, servant leadership, subject matter expertise, through preparation and structural input, distilling a vast amount of information into digestible content and stimulus for the workshop. Coaching what are already senior leaders in their own right and leading by doing, coaching by guiding, not preaching. I admire Lindsey’s energy, vision and bravery.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lindsey had been at ACC for a number of years, understood the culture, the personalities, the cadence of the business and was able to coach and support me while I transitioned into the new role. She was also instrumental in coaching me as a peer not only over the short term but longer term. I think the greatest quality Lindsey brings to coaching is her approachability and her ability to really get into the heart of what you are working on. She is also high in empathy and has loads of energy which is motivating as a coach.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lindsey facilitated an epic one day workshop with our fundraising team in Wellington which enabled us to focus on our goals, identify challenges and motivate ourselves to overcome them within a team and as individuals. If you want your team to develop trust in each other and develop a solid plan for future success, I thoroughly recommend Turas.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Working at the Stroke Foundation of New Zealand has been an eye-opening experience into the world of non-profits. Like any organisation we can fall into siloed working environments, particularly as part of the fundraising team in national office, separate from our support workers around the country. After our workshop with Turas, I feel more empowered to treat every interaction within and outside the organisation as an effective connection point to grow each relationship. As one of the front line people answering phones, the exercises in the workshop helped me better understand and appreciate the importance of the fundraising team as a connector between different people in the organisation, and how we can apply and use the amazing breadth of skills we already have to encourage others to make the connections they have flourish too.
