Leadership and the practice of “Positive Team Cultures” are prevalent through all aspects of Dwain’s life. An avid baseballer for over 40 years, and now the president of his childhood club Dwain “Practices what he Preaches” when leading any team.

With a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Movement and more than 30 years of experience in the delivery of team building, corporate health and culture programs, Dwain has a distinct passion and understanding on the importance of team culture in the workplace. When not working, Dwain loves spending time and telling dad jokes with his children Will and Charli and partner Anita.

What Anita lacks in height she makes up for in enthusiasm. With 20 years experience in leadership coaching, facilitation and change management, Anita has led programs for the public sector, corporate and small owner led organisations.   She has a proven ability to apply evidence based learnings in simple, scalable and effective ways that have real business impact. Anita found what she describes as ‘the perfect fit’ with CCE integrating training, team building and conferences to blend her life’s work. Anita is just as enthusiastic about wine and balancing her lifestyle with long distance running. When she is not improving positive culture or hitting the pavement she loves to spend time with partner Dwain and step children Will and Charli.
