I am a caring, challenging, and compassionate leadership mindset coach, raised in a strong, matriarchal household with 3 powerful female role models guiding me. Mum, Auntie, and big sister resonated well with my perspective and empathy, helping me to develop a caring, challenging, and compassionate coaching style. It was this context that ultimately drew me to support female leaders.

I have served 100's of women leaders to break through the barriers holding them back to reflect, reframe, and reinvent their mindset to drive positive and lasting change in their workplace. And in their lives.

With only 20 men selected, it’s an honour that my female clients’ recommendations placed me on the Northern Women’s Power Inaugural Advocacy List in 2024 for driving change in gender equality.

Lastly, I’m a Dad to two terrific teenagers, a loving partner, Diane, a loyal frien,d and an advocate that everything in your life is achievable once you know how and where to look within the limitless potential you possess.
