I spent nearly 30 years in corporate leadership, including 8 years as Global Head of People & Culture on a FTSE 250 operating board.

I’ve worked with thousands of managers and leaders across the world, through growth, recession, restructure, and reinvention. Since leaving corporate, I’ve continued working with leaders and organisations.

 I learned that the hard part of leadership isn’t strategy or operations—it’s the human stuff. And most systems make it harder than it needs to be.

I now create platforms for people who want to lead well without losing themselves:

The Confident Manager — A 20-lesson audio program with practical tools for managers who’ve been taught what to do, but not how to BE when it matters most. Whether you’re new to leadership or stepping into bigger roles: you don’t need to be perfect to be powerful. You need tools that work and the confidence to use them well.

Lead Like a Human — Essays, talks, and a podcast launching 2026 for leaders who are done with leadership theatre. I write about what really happens: the invisible work, the emotional labour, the gap between what we say and what actually works.

Both platforms are built on what I’ve learned from 30 years of watching what helps people lead well and what quietly breaks them.
