Empowering experts to transform themselves, their organisations, and their world
You are not simply a leader of experts. You are a steward of expertise that can lead your experts to make a powerful difference in your organisation and your customers.
Expert Practice works with leaders and organisations that depend on their experts’ judgment to succeed. I help leaders strengthen how expertise is recognised, integrated, and applied in decision-making and everyday practice, so their technical capability translates into better outcomes.
Through a combination of diagnostics, consulting, coaching, programs, and learning experiences, Expert Practice focuses on strengthening how expertise is developed, rewarded, and applied so your internal expertise is not just simply consulted, but shapes strategic outcomes.
Expert Practice has a range of immediate solutions for your individual experts, teams, and organisation, and more in development

About me
My name is Darin Fox.
I’m a coach and consultant with 25 years of experience helping experts grow their influence, strengthen their capability, and create meaningful impact. My work spans government, healthcare, technology, and more, supporting individuals and organisations across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, India, and the US.
I’m passionate about unlocking the potential of expertise, shaping future-ready workforce strategies, and building cultures where experts can thrive and lead.
At my core, I love helping people and organisations use their expertise to solve complex problems and create lasting change.
What my clients are saying
Darin is a true thought leader in leadership, capability & high performance. He inspired the organisation to think differently about building capability. The leadership framework Darin developed positioned the organisation to meet not only the needs of today, but those of the future.
Darin is able to communicate the content in a way that allows for self-reflection without the guilt. It’s been really helpful to explore some of my bad habits in a really safe environment. This is making my work life more enjoyable as I am getting better at communicating with my team, and my boss, I am being more assertive and seen as less aggressive.
Above and beyond. Super knowledgeable, inspiring and relatable.
It was incredibly helpful! I have so much to now think about and consider with so many potential new windows of opportunity that he has opened my mind too.
