Corrinne Armour CSP is Australia’s leading thinker in Fearless Leadership®. She blends brain science with powerful storytelling to move leaders from insight to action—equipping them to build trust, step into courage, and perform when it matters most.

Her perspective on leadership was profoundly shaped by living and teaching in a jungle refugee camp on the edge of a warzone—an experience that redefined how she understands courage, connection, and what leadership really demands under pressure.

With more than 20 years working alongside senior leaders, and a decade in corporate leadership roles within high-performing, commercially driven organisations, Corrinne brings deep, practical insight into the realities of leading in complex, high-stakes environments. She works with organisations across corporate, government, and for-purpose sectors—including CPA Australia, Dulux Group, and David Jones—helping leaders navigate uncertainty, strengthen alignment, and deliver results through people.

She has lived and worked in cross-cultural environments—including in her early career working with Japanese leadership teams at Toshiba, and in a refugee camp where she was often the only English speaker—developing a deep appreciation for cultural nuance and the ability to connect with diverse audiences across regions and contexts.

A Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), Corrinne is recognised for her experience and professional capability among Australia’s leading keynote speakers. A sought-after conference speaker, her keynotes combine contemporary neuroscience with real-world leadership experience, creating engaging, thought-provoking experiences that resonate across cultures and industries.

Corrinne is the author of Leaders Who Ask: Building Fearless Cultures by Telling Less and Asking More and Developing Direct Reports: Taking the Guesswork Out of Leading Leaders, as well as two specialist texts on human behaviour used by consultants worldwide.

Known for her warmth and straight-talking style, Corrinne connects quickly with audiences—challenging thinking while providing practical tools leaders can apply immediately. Her work leaves people thinking differently, acting with greater clarity, and having the conversations that move teams and organisations forward.

She lives in country Victoria, co-parents two teenage daughters, and is often found in the bush on her horse—her version of balance in a full life.
