Yuwan Consulting is Marty McKowen; I bring over four decades of leadership, business improvement, and consultancy expertise to organisations seeking sustainable growth and enhanced workplace effectiveness. As an independent contractor, I specialise in equipping leaders and teams with the tools, strategies, and frameworks needed to thrive in dynamic and challenging environments.

My career journey began with 13 years in the military, where I honed my leadership and operational planning skills. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked as a business improvement consultant, primarily across Southeast Asia, partnering with organisations to drive operational excellence and cultural change. During this time, I spent four years as a project manager with McKinsey & Company, where I delivered transformative business solutions. My roles have also included time with Barrick as Manager: Lands Management and Relocation in Papua New Guinea and as an Operations Manager with Leighton Contractors Indonesia.

I’ve developed two flagship methodologies tailored to leadership and workplace dynamics:

• The Leaders Mindset Model is a practical leadership framework and approach designed to empower frontline leaders with the flexibility and clarity to navigate complex challenges.

• Workplace Mindful Protocols, a system that integrates planning, prioritisation, collaboration, focus, calm, and effectiveness into team operations, fostering resilient and high-performing work environments.

Academically, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations, a Graduate Certificate of Management, and a Masters of Aboriginal Studies as well as certifications in Six Sigma, Lean Management, and Business Coaching. My education complements my professional practice, offering unique insights into leadership, collaboration, and change management.

As an independent contractor, I offer services in:

• Leadership Development: Coaching and mentoring leaders to inspire and engage their teams.

• Mindful Workplaces: Implementing systems and practices to enhance workplace focus and well-being.

• Business Improvement: Delivering tailored strategies to optimise processes, increase efficiency, and achieve sustainable results.

Whether you're seeking to elevate leadership capabilities, cultivate a mindful workplace culture, or drive business transformation, I am committed to partnering with you to achieve measurable success. With a proven track record of delivering impactful results, I am ready to help your organisation reach its full potential.
