About

Megumi Miki is an author, speaker, facilitator and coach in Leadership, Culture and Diversity and Inclusion. She has 20+ years of experience in organisational development focusing on leadership and culture, including the highly successful and innovative ANZ cultural transformation program called Breakout. In addition, she gained experience in business strategy and performance analysis as a strategy consultant at Accenture.

Megumi helps leaders and organisations to challenge the status quo, outperform and grow, by unlocking potential in the culture, leadership and individuals. Her strength lies in her ability to design and deliver interventions that have an observable or measurable impact, as demonstrated through her small and large-scale culture change and leadership development programs. Her work is strategic while also being practical as she draws on fields such as psychology, neuroscience, systems thinking, coaching, leadership, behaviour and mindset change, organisational development, economics and strategy.

She founded Quietly Powerful in 2016 to help organisations to redefine what good leadership looks like and unlock their hidden quiet talent. Her second book, Quietly Powerful: How your quiet nature is your hidden leadership strength, was awarded the Best Leadership Book for 2020 by the Australian Business Book Awards and Australian Career Book of 2020 by RSA Oceania.
