HI, I’M ADELE

Project management and I first met in the outback of WA in 1997, and it's been a love affair ever since.

Some people’s brains are wired to handle immense detail while maintaining a strategic outlook—able to zoom out to the big picture while managing the micro. I’m one of those people. I’m driven by curiosity, excited to dive into new spaces and lead teams to success in live, dynamic environments.

What makes me so effective at project management is more than just experience; it’s my people-centered approach. At the heart of every project, I focus on building trust. Whether I’m leading a team of over 50 people or working independently, I believe that trust is the foundation for collaboration, problem-solving, and success.

I’m a values-driven leader, committed to win-win outcomes. My high emotional intelligence and background as a trained community engagement professional with IAP2 enable me to build strong relationships quickly, align stakeholders, and solve complex challenges with elegance and wisdom.

I hold a Graduate Certificate in Project Management, and I am currently completing an MBA in Strategic Management to continue enhancing my ability to lead projects that drive long-term success. As a PMO specialist, I bring deep expertise in Waterfall, Agile, and Hybrid methodologies, ensuring clear governance, smooth execution, and results-driven outcomes.

A mentor once told me, “If you don’t have trust, you’ve got nothing.” This philosophy guides everything I do, ensuring that each project is not just delivered, but embraced.

Let’s connect and explore how I can help you deliver your next project with trust and success. You can reach me at hello@adeleleahy.com, and I’ll respond within a day or two.
