Hi there, great that you want to know a bit more about me. Well, I started my career in finance where I learned about numbers, strategy and leadership. After 10 years in the corporate world, I did a psychology degree; I wanted to understand why some of my bosses were brilliant and others were frankly dismal. Those insights launched a new career facilitating, coaching, designing interventions and writing.

Coachees and delegates tell me I’m warm, funny, challenging and rooted in practicality. Most importantly, I believe in using hard, soft, and intuitive information to get to the heart of complex and opaque professional issues. Tapping into this different knowledge gives fresh insight into how to solve problems, particularly around our worries and our work.

My clients include multinationals in health care, professional services, FMCG, banking, creative, education, manufacturing, publishing and engineering industries as well as the public and not-for- profit sectors.

I’ve also worked as adjunct faculty in leadership development at many business schools including Cambridge Judge, Cass, Cornell, Chicago Booth, Cranfield, London Business School, and Saïd (Oxford); and I’m a Fellow of Harvard’s Institute of Coaching. Finally, I’ve published two books (Happiness at Work: Maximizing Your Psychological Capital for Success and Running Great Meetings & Workshops For Dummies) and am putting off finishing a third, Intuition at Work.

I live in the UK and France but work all over the world; I’m really into weightlifting and walking my dog in the woods.
