ABOUT ME

In my past life, I was a senior leader, managing over 100 people in the technology industry. I was known for creating change, challenging the status quo, and daring people to believe in themselves and think bigger. But my story has not been without its challenges.

I struggled at school. I didn’t feel stupid, but the lessons didn’t seem to go in like they appeared to for others.  I felt self-conscious and didn’t want to ask for help because I knew it would draw attention.  I had to go to college to get better grades, I was embarrassed, and it stung but I learned how I learned and ended up top of my class.

I had a rock-climbing accident when I was 18 and broke my neck.  I thought my life was over, but it wasn’t.

I’ve lived the corporate life and led people through difficult times, coping with the emotions and fears that accompany making people redundant, and facing redundancy myself. I pushed myself to climb the corporate ladder, only to realise that the ladder was BS and not the way to define oneself.

I’ve had a skin cancer scare that knocked me on my arse with health-related anxiety for 18 months.

I was diagnosed with arthritis when I was 30 and I’ve had to come to terms with this and learn to manage it for over 10 years.

I’ve been married, divorced and fought through court for more access to my children because my ex-wife and I see the world differently.

I love learning and personal development, and following an insight I had in 2014 while on the commute, I immersed myself further into coaching that ultimately began my own business.

Today, I live my dream.  I change people’s lives and help them change other people’s lives through the impact they have and the difference they make.  It’s perfectly balanced with time in the outdoors with my 3 wonderful children and my queen.
