Our Team

Coleen MacKinnon

Founder & Principal

Coleen MacKinnon is the Founder of Inclusivity Quotient (In-Q), a boutique consultancy working with Boards, Executive teams and HR leaders to strengthen the leadership capability that underpins safe, inclusive, high-performing workplaces.

She launched In-Q to address her clients' concerns: despite significant investment in policies and programs, many leaders, particularly men, were not actively engaged in building cohesive workplace cultures. A behavioural science–informed practitioner, Coleen shifted the traditional narrative from 'what's in it for women and minorities' to 'what's in it for all'. Her work brings together leaders — men, women and non-binary — to co-create collaborative, productive workplaces where everyone has equal opportunity to thrive.

Coleen began her DEIB career with Catalyst, a New York–based research firm serving mainly Fortune 500 companies. In addition to her consulting work, she serves as Advisor to the Consult Australia Champions of Change.

Paul Collings

Leadership expert & Coach

Paul Collings is a consultant, facilitator and coach working with a range of clients in the areas of organisational culture, senior team effectiveness and leadership development.

A former Associate Principal with McKinsey, Paul was part of a team that developed and delivered the firm's pioneering approach to creating high-performance cultures.

Paul has had a lifelong fascination with why humans (including himself) behave the way they do, how to 'evolve' behaviours to those that are more effective, and how context and environment (culture) influences behaviour. It was this interest in the human side of business that led him from a more traditional strategic consulting career into this line of work.

He has helped clients around the globe to improve business performance by addressing the human aspects of the workplace: culture, leadership and teamwork. He applies a solid understanding of what drives performance (the 'hard' side) combined with his current specialisations (the so-called 'soft' side, although as one CEO remarked: 'If this is the soft stuff, how come it's so damn hard?!').
