Your
co-pilot
It’s personal.
If you’re looking for an outside consultant to diagnose and tell you what to do, I’m not your guy.
If you want someone to truly understand where you’re at, what you want, and you’re ready to commit to co-creating something genuinely life-changing, let’s talk.
My story.
The beginning.
Your past influences your present, but it doesn’t dictate your future.
In many ways, I had a very good start in life. Loving parents, stable home. At the same time, I was very overweight with severe body shame, chronically shy, OCD and had constant low-level anxiety. In my early teens I also developed ME/Chronic Fatigue and missed around 3 years of schooling.
That version of me has absolutely shaped who I am today, but fortunately, I also found whitewater kayaking which changed my life.
The growth.
Freedom lives on the other side of fear.
Extreme kayaking became something I got good at. Something I gained confidence through. I could live lean and invest in adventure. A pro-athlete leading expeditions, competing globally and always exploring, where leadership could literally mean life or death.
After more than 15 years of this, I entered the worlds of endurance, psychology and corporate.
Half-marathons, marathons, then 100 mile ultra-marathons and Ironmans. An MSc in Business Psychology and 4 years in corporate becoming Global Head of Leadership Development for TUI Travel.
For a decade plus now, I’ve been a freelance executive coach and leadership psychologist.
The mission.
Live. Perform. Lead.
The ‘Granola Version’. To elevate how people experience, express and interact with their internal and external worlds. Supporting others in co-creating a life of purpose, balance and psychological freedom.
The ‘Performance Version’. To coach high-achievers to go beyond high performance, develop mental and emotional fitness, and be all they can be in an authentic and sustainable way.
The ‘Organisational Version’. To create better places to work by leveraging a human approach to leadership. More innovation, greater engagement and healthier cultures.
My approach.
The iceberg.
Transformation, not just information.
Imagine an iceberg floating in the water. Above the waterline are things that others see and you probably already know about yourself, including behaviour, actions, communication, performance and results.
Below the waterline are all the elements that drive that, including values, beliefs, ego, motivation and mindset.
On the surface, you have your habits.
Most people focus above waterline and wonder why nothing changes, the patterns remain and it doesn’t feel that satisfying.
I coach people around the transformational stuff deeper down AND the practical, tactical and strategic tools that get results.
The human OS.
Master your mindset.
We are all running an ‘Operating System’ or ‘OS’ within all sorts of contexts [leadership, sports, relationships, parenting, or just being human].
Just like the OS on your phone, iPad or laptop, growth comes in upgrading our OS. Keeping and expanding the elements that are working and becoming aware of some of the bugs in the system.
I coach people to become more masterful in the realms of surviving, striving, driving, exploring, thriving, inspiring and, ultimately, flowing.
Multi-disciplined.
Coach. Psychologist. Mentor.
I take the best of psychology, performance coaching, neuroscience, psychotherapy, philosophy, and leadership mentoring, and utilise whatever approach, or combination of approaches, is most impactful.
It’s part science, part art. I’ll challenge the way you think from multiple perspectives and draw on the most insightful tools for your specific context.
Get in touch.
Schedule a zero-commitment exploratory conversation.
Essentially, it is a FREE coaching conversation to gain clarity on what you’re looking for and see how I could support you in that vision.
