Our presenters
Allen Sibley
Allen is married to Jenny, they have 6 adult children, two grandchildren and live in the north-western suburbs of Sydney. He originally trained as a teacher but then went into the IT industry for over 20 years and completed an MBA along the way. He moved into the Christian not-for-profit world in 2007 where he has worked and voluntarily served in organisations such as BaptistCare, IntegriCare, Bedford College, the Baptist Assembly Council and PeaceWise, where he is the Chief Operations Officer. Allen has been a Christian since age 15 and has been a member at Parramatta Baptist Church since 1991. He is a peacemaking work-in-progress and looks forward to continuing his peacemaking journey through sharing the PeaceWise principles.
Jane Gibb
A lifelong educator in schools and in the church, Jane now focuses on coaching people who want change in their relationships particularly after intimate betrayal. Her own heart and life have experienced deep transformation as she has found the courage and support to walk into difficulty instead of running away from it. As a mum of six with a growing tribe of grandchildren, as well as in her marriage to Steve, Jane finds plenty of opportunities to practice what she preaches as a PeaceWise trainer.
