I help busy high achievers go from burnout to brilliance, to cultivate a mindset of peak performance, lead with confidence, fuel our tanks to ensure we are a sustainable resource and can achieve our potential to have influence and impact.

In a world moving faster than we’re built for, we’ve lost touch with what it means to be human. We’ve become human doings, chasing more, burning out, and disconnecting from what truly matters.

We’re living in a way that’s out of sync with who we are at our core. It’s not us that’s broken, it’s the system we’re trying to fit into. More is not always better.  It’s time to slow down and reconnect, with ourselves, each other, and the world.

Happy humans make a better world. Let’s return to being and thrive together.

Born in England, I now live in Waiheke Island, Auckland, New Zealand with my wife and our rescue dog. Outside of work I’m usually at the beach, on road trips close to nature and the ocean or sitting quietly in the sun. Daily yoga and meditation practice keeps me grounded and gives me the energy for the work I love. Regular trips back to spend time with family in UK are a must for me, but I definitely consider myself a Kiwi now.
