Speaker: Mel Lambert,Think Human

Mel Lambert is founder and head coach in Life Navigation Lab as well as running a consultancy company, Think Human. She is an experienced coach and facilitator based in Adelaide/Tarndanya with a background spanning government, not‑for‑profit, community and private sectors. Mel is a certified coach with the International Coaching Federation (ACC), The Institute for Executive Coaching & Leadership (IECL Level 2) and the Tiny Habits Academy, plus has Prosci change management certification and over 20 years of experience as a human-centred design practitioner, making her well-equipped to support decision-making at every turning point in a lifelong career journey.

A defining feature of Mel’s practice is her depth of expertise in co‑design and participatory approaches. She is skilled at designing and facilitating processes that genuinely engage diverse stakeholders. Her facilitation and coaching style is structured, purposeful, playful and inclusive, while remaining flexible enough to respond to what emerges in the room.

As a coach, Mel works with leaders and professionals at pivotal moments, when roles are shifting, confidence is being tested or new ways of working are required. Her coaching style is thoughtful, grounded and pragmatic, with a unique blend of directness and warmth that she squarely blames on her Northern Irish upbringing. She asks incisive questions, listens deeply, and helps people connect values with action.

Mel is also widely recognised for her work challenging ageism and reshaping how we think about ageing, intergenerational dynamics and longevity. She currently sits on Global Access Partner’s Standing Committee on Productive Ageing.
