Why I Do This Work, and How I Started

I spent many years working and leading teams in challenging workplaces and major projects, where I saw many good people suffer the consequences of poor leadership and organisational chaos.

I wanted to try to help on a larger scale than in just my own leadership capacity, so I began writing and podcasting about leadership, to try to help thoughtful leaders make a positive difference in their workplaces.

I gradually grew an online following, and began coaching leaders from the UK, Canada, Europe and the USA before and after work. After several years of this, I created my own business, and now I’m proud to partner with Integral doing work that makes a difference to leaders across Australia.

Other Interests

I am a big Wallabies Rugby fan, a resilient middle-aged amateur basketball player and am currently learning acoustic guitar.
