HumbleRhino is a Brisbane-based leadership coaching and advisory practice founded by Lisa C. It works with mission-critical organisations and the leaders who run them, drawing on more than two decades alongside CEOs, boards and executive teams, and more than 12 years on the frontline with Queensland’s State Emergency Service and Rural Fire Service.

HumbleRhino works with organisations facing growth, restructure or significant change, and with leaders stepping into bigger or more complex roles. Typical clients include CEOs, general managers, HR and people and culture directors, and learning and development leads who want leadership capability that lasts beyond a single event.

Every HumbleRhino coach has led in the field, in a boardroom, or both. The work draws on real decisions made under pressure, from major incidents and emergency response to mergers and Royal Commission preparation, rather than on theory from a leadership textbook.

The HumbleRhino Leadership Framework is HumbleRhino’s proprietary model for building the capabilities leaders need when certainty disappears, including self-awareness, judgement, courage, adaptability and resilience. It underpins every coaching engagement, workshop and the HumbleRhino Leadership Program.

Common starting points include stepping into a bigger role, a restructure or period of rapid growth, a team that isn’t ready for what’s ahead, succession planning, or a plan that keeps changing. You don’t need a perfectly formed brief. Most engagements start with a short conversation.

An intro call is a 15-minute conversation for individual leaders. A discovery call is a 20-minute conversation for organisations. Both are a chance to talk through where you are, what’s changing and what you need, so HumbleRhino can recommend the right starting point.

Executive and leadership coaching engagements typically run for 3, 6 or 12 months, tailored to the leader, their organisational context and their development priorities. The Leadership Coaching Partnership for individual leaders includes an initial assessment, six one-to-one coaching conversations and a final review.
