Clear thinking for
complex challenges
Partnering with leaders to navigate change, align culture and strategy, and deliver meaningful results.
About Dauntless Advisory
Dauntless Advisory helps organisations and leaders tackle challenges, lead change, and create environments where people and systems work together to deliver great results. With a values-led, whole-of-organisation approach, I help clients traverse complex change, launch new initiatives, align culture and strategy, and improve performance – without losing sight of people, purpose, or risk.
From project leadership and consultancy to mentoring and dispute resolution, every engagement is tailored, grounded, and focused on sustainable impact. If you’re looking for fresh thinking, clarity, and a partner who sees the full picture – I’d love to talk.
Why Dauntless Advisory?
At Dauntless, I believe the pursuit of better is the work. Better calls for aspiration, vision, pragmatism – and movement. It asks us to be better, not just do better. It’s not a single journey or a fixed destination – it’s an ongoing commitment to progress. In increasingly complex and fast-moving environments, better means having the courage to think differently, lead with integrity, and act with purpose.
The services I offer are grounded in a belief that meaningful, ethical approaches can deliver powerfully, for organisations and individuals. Who we are as people and leaders makes a difference. That’s why Dauntless exists, to help connect people, culture, systems, and strategy, through integrity and vision.
About Lee-Ann Jordan
I’m a leadership and change specialist with over 20 years’ experience helping organisations navigate complexity and achieve meaningful, sustainable results. I’ve worked across local and central government, education, tourism, and more – often in high-trust, high-stakes environments where reputation, safety, and people matter deeply.
Throughout my career, I’ve led large teams, tackled thorny problems, and supported leaders through challenging moments of change and decision-making. What grounds me in all of this is a strong belief that leadership, at every level, is about values-driven action – making the right calls in real-world conditions, with integrity and courage.
My work is strategic and pragmatic, but also deeply human. I bring emotional intelligence, curiosity, and a whole-of-system view to everything I do – whether I’m advising on change, leading a project, coaching a leader, or facilitating a resolution. If you’re ready to think differently, act purposefully, and move your people and organisation forward – I’d love to connect.
