Why Rockwater

Development designed
to make a difference.

The starting point is your reality: what is happening, what needs to change and what your leaders need to do differently.

About Rockwater

Leadership experience.
Human understanding.

Founded and led by Peter Roxburgh, supported by specialist associates.

Peter brings the perspective of someone who has carried organisational responsibility as well as developed others. As CFO of an $11m organisation, his remit spanned finance, HR, IT, administration and business development.

He helped scale the organisation from 68 staff in three countries to 350 in five countries within three years. This included significant organisational development projects and developing leaders to support that growth. That experience informs a practical approach to the people, relationships and decisions that make leadership work.

Today, Rockwater works across industries and borders to help leaders understand themselves, navigate difference and lead their teams with greater skill and confidence.

Accredited approaches includeInsights Discovery • MBTI Step I & Step II

Evidencing the transfer of learning

“Learning is less about information and more about transformation.”

Peter Roxburgh

What happens after the programme matters.

Structured follow-up gives participants space to reflect on what they have applied, what has changed and what still needs attention. It also gives your organisation a clearer view of how learning is moving into practice.
