Why us?
Our story
The Maverick Paradox utilises Maverick Leadership principles to enable business owners, leaders and organisations, to thrive in complex, constantly changing environments by improving their diversity of thought, influence and leadership capability.
The Maverick Paradox is the inspiration of Judith Germain who looked at how leadership is demonstrated and knew we could ALL do better.
She believes that anyone can be a Maverick Leader with the ability to Strategise, Innovate and Execute through influence and leadership. Judith has seen the consequences of when leadership fails individuals and organisations and one day decided that enough is enough!
She has been determined to change the way work is conducted, to empower individuals and organisations, to work with meaning and purpose to achieve the goals they set; with integrity, empathy and passion.
Judith has gathered together a swagger of Socialised Mavericks, who believe in her Maverick Leadership philosophy and are passionate in enabling others to execute:
- the right reason
- the right idea
- the right solution
for improved leadership impact and influence.

Whywe care
We believe that individuals that follow the principles of Maverick Leadership will become exceptional leaders, regardless of whether they hold the title of manager, leader or Business Owner, in their place of work.
If you change the way someone leads, you make exponential changes to their impact. This has far reaching implications for business, whether you run your own or work within someone else's.
We work with organisations that require an increased leadership capability than they currently have. Their leaders, Board members and employees want to work in an organisation that achieves its objectives, is diverse in its people and thought processes. We ensure that you succeed, whether that is in increasing your leadership impact, culture change or diversity impact.
We work with business owners that want to attract more clients, amplify their impact and become known as thought leaders in their field.
We also work with individuals to help them stand out, increase their influence and be the leaders that they need to be.
