I've always been fascinated by how things work. Even as a young boy, I was taking things apart and (mostly) putting them back together again. I found designing and creating new things even more exciting and started my career as an engineer, designing digital control systems for film and TV.
As a manager I soon discovered that getting the best out of people was a very different proposition from engineering. Whereas you could flick a switch here and something would happen over there, asking people to do something might work, but it could easily result in them doing something else... or nothing at all! After a number of international management roles, starting and running companies in the UK and abroad, I made other leaders the focus of my attention. I found a passion for bringing what I had learnt to others that I find deeply fulfilling. Today I coach and mentor c-suite and senior managers across diverse sectors including technology, engineering, government, academia, non-profit and start-ups. My purpose is to connect my clients with their inner sense of purpose, inspiration, clarity and passion, allowing them to better navigate the challenges of leadership, with fun and enjoyment. |
