I'm an internationally acclaimed keynote speaker and expert on Resilient High Performance: the art of delivering results under pressure while adapting to constant change.
 

As a former Futurist to the UK Foreign Office, I advised senior government leaders on geopolitical risk and predicted many of the disruptive forces now reshaping today's corporate landscape.
 

I now work with industry leaders navigating AI transformation, market volatility, and organisational restructuring, helping their leaders and teams perform under pressure, adapt to rapid change, and lead with clarity through uncertainty.
 

I'm the creator of the Resilient Performance Method™, a practical model of performance under pressure, developed in collaboration with the Big Four: Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG. Proven as a win-win for productivity and wellbeing, it offers a pathway to becoming a high performer with a low risk of burnout. The model has been delivered to leading organisations including L'Oréal, Siemens, A&O Shearman, DLA Piper, Sky, Aviva, IHG, TUI, Sage, Kellanova, Kimberly Clarke, the UK Treasury, and Oxford University.
 

Clients regularly commission company-wide rollouts of my keynotes and workshops to cascade a shared language of high performance across all levels of the business, from junior team members to executive leadership. This enables cultural norms to shift in a scalable, enduring way.

I'm a regular guest teacher on the KPMG Executive Leadership Programme and Oxford University, and was shortlisted as one of the UK's Top 5 Live Speakers and Storytellers at the Speaker Awards.

What sets me apart is my rare combination of lived experience and cutting-edge insight. After crashing and burning in the limelight of national politics, I received a life-altering chronic health diagnosis.

 

Seven years on, I continue learning resilience the hard way. When I speak, audiences enter a resilience story still unfolding, one that resonates because we all find ourselves in the messy middle of life.

 

In turbulent times, organisations need guides who don't just teach resilience—they live it daily.

 

That's the difference I bring.
