Frank Harkin Consultant

For the last seven years I have been employed as an Organisational Development Consultant with executive selection companies here in Wellington. Primarily I have worked with clients to ensure that new employees come with the right thinking and behaviours to do the role. Increasingly I have found myself utilising assessment tools to assist in the development of individuals and this has flowed on to working with the senior management teams within those organisations.

In a previous life, or nightmare, if you were to ask my wife, I worked as a foreign-exchange dealer for a trading bank for seven years, and between leaving the bank and before the birth of our children I enjoyed success as a sports consultant/ psychologist working with participants, teams and clubs.

Lisa and I have two sons, Callum and Daniel aged 9 and 7 who keep us both busy and actively involved in their sports (rugby, soccer, karate, sailing and cricket) and their musical interests. When I am not coaching Callum’s Under 9 rugby team, I like to watch Daniel play rugby and offer loud vocal encouragement. In the summer I like to walk the dog, dive for paua, or organise a family cycling expedition to the lighthouse at the end of Eastbourne where we live.
