Gene Early is an internationally recognized leadership and organisational development advisor, having worked extensively in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America and the Pacific islands as well as the US. When Gene visited Tamworth he was astounded at the strength in leadership that currently existed in the area.

The leaders in Tamworth were unique in not only their commitment to their own. Gene engages global thought leaders, senior organisational executives, government and community leaders, and grassroot leaders as well as everyday people of influence who are changing the worlds in which they live and work.

He passionately believes in the power of individuals to become all they are capable of being. As a result he works to leverage their strengths individually, as teams, and in organisations to see themselves transformed, and to transform the parts of the world they touch. His gift of “getting to the core” of personal identity as it affects individuals and their organisations distinguishes his work.

Those he works with consistently affirm how these core insights re-align their understanding and actions, enabling them to achieve high performance outcomes they had not considered possible.

We honour and are grateful for the role Aunty has performed in establishing Regional Unlimited. Her participation in the broader community, bringing the aboriginal perspective, demonstrates how able she is in the relationship building she does.

We can think of no one else more able in creating a single cohesive community – a Tamworth community while still honouring and promoting and preserving Indigenous values and ways. She worked for the whole community, not just the indigenous community, yet still represented her people and aims, bringing them into the light so everyone has the opportunity to shine.

She embodies ‘sister’ energy. She leads the way in advocating for her people by being part of all people. She has inspired us as she stands steady as she learns and respects the ways of others.

Having started his working career in Orange, he moved to Dubbo to Moree and finally Tamworth more than 25 years ago.

Peter has been in the technology industry for over 30 years and started Inland Technology in 2003 with offices in Tamworth, Armidale, Moree and Dubbo.

Peter’s drivers are family, business and community and is currently a member of Tamworth First Light Rotary, Tamworth Aquatic Group (TAG), President of 360 Scully Swim Club, Canon Partner Advisory Council(PAC) and Regional Unlimited (RU).
