Greg Lyons,
Executive Coach
Greg Lyons helps leaders translate complex organisational pressures into practical, sustainable, and high-impact leadership behaviours.
His strengths-focused, highly conversational approach is grounded in real-world systemic thinking and decades of institutional experience. Having logged over 500 coaching hours partnering with 300+ leaders, Greg acts as a calm, structured, and deeply reliable sounding board for executives navigating high-stakes public-sector culture, policy environments, and organisational politics.
Prior to coaching full-time, Greg spent more than two decades within the Australian Government managing high-level stakeholders and delivering policy solutions. His public-sector experience includes contributing to arts education policy during the development of the second phase of the Australian Curriculum, alongside leadership roles across communications, infrastructure, education and cultural heritage.
This rich operational history allows him to deeply understand the modern executive’s struggle to balance high-pressure professional performance with personal life and family leadership, a theme that comes through strongly in Greg's work with senior leaders and parents in both the public and private sectors.
He also designs and facilitates group leadership programs for senior executives and emerging leaders, translating leadership theory into day-to-day practices that strengthen teams and sustain change.
Greg combines formal management education with professional coaching credentials to support executives with a grounded, evidence-informed approach.
