I spent 25 years as a corporate leader. My expertise was initially in media sales, but I became fascinated with leadership and change as I gained experience working in the UK, Central Europe, Russia and finally Australia. I decided to start my own leadership consultancy when I was made redundant. Having led a business transformation, turned a $1 million loss into a $4 million profit and empowered many great staff members to shine, my entire leadership team was ‘exited’. Incensed by the stupidity and ever the maverick, I decided to take fate into my own hands.

It has been a journey of challenge, stretch but ultimately growth, learning, reward and – most importantly – happiness. Based on my own experience and study (including a degree in Change Management) and by partnering with organisations including ‘Thought Leaders’ and ‘About My Brain Institute’, I developed my own thought leadership and began to help others to do the same. That’s gone from a trickle to a flood and each year, I mentor 25 people from around the world. I’ve also done a lot of great change, strategy and leadership work with teams – helping them to step up to meet today’s work and life challenges.
