Brooke Baxter: Founder of collabbWAY
collabbWAY is the bold and brave way to lead through people, with purpose, and toward fundamental transformation.
It’s not just how we lead.
It’s how we change.
It’s how we co-create what’s next.
Born from lived experience and built on deep operational insight, collabbWAY brings clarity, compassion and courageous action to complex environments. From leadership coaching and reflective practice to service improvement and systems change, we create space for leaders and teams to think differently, lead with confidence, and co-create lasting change.
At the heart of collabbWAY is a belief in people’s potential and the understanding that transformation doesn’t come from force or pressured leadership, but from collaboration, trust, and authenticity.
With two decades of experience behind its creation, collabbWAY understands the realities leaders face: self-doubt, stretch, complexity, and pressure to perform. We’ve been there and we’ve designed a way forward that’s practical, powerful, and real.
We work especially closely with middle managers and frontline leaders, the cultural drivers and connectors inside every organisation. Through honest conversation, reflective learning, and real-world tools, collabbWAY equips leaders to show up boldly and bravely, in ways others want to follow.
When organisations need clarity through change, leadership that delivers, and collaboration that works, they walk the collabbWAY.

Impactful Projects
Transforming programs, enhancing effectiveness, delivering innovative solutions for organisational impact.
Organisational Improvement Solution
Edge Glass and Aluminium engaged collabbWAY to assess and enhance business operations, focusing on identifying efficiency improvements and cost-saving opportunities. As part of this review, BB Consulting evaluated and implemented a new job management system to streamline workflows and improve overall business performance.
collabbWAY successfully implemented the system across two sites in Victoria (45 staff), ensuring strong organisational and employee engagement, refined processes and seamless implementation, resulting in improved efficiency and operational effectiveness.
ARCA+ 1:1 & ALIGN Conversation Model Developed by collabbWAY
The ARCA+ 1:1 Framework and ALIGN Conversation Model, developed by The collabbWAY, are practical, structured tools designed to bring consistency, depth, and practical application to reflective supervision or meetings and 1:1s across sectors.
ARCA+ provides a clear and adaptable framework for leaders and supervisors to develop their capabilities, mitigate burnout, and integrate reflection into their everyday practice. Paired with the ALIGN Conversation Model, organisations can create effective conversations that foster psychological safety, alignment, and accountability while supporting employee wellbeing.
We are currently offering partnership opportunities for organisations seeking to test and implement these practical, evidence-informed models, building a reflective, high-performance culture grounded in realistic, people-centred practice.
