About

I teach on the KPMG Executive Leadership Programme and advises world leading companies on how to create resilient, high performance teams 

 

I have delivered world-class keynotes to Deloitte, KPMG, EY, Aviva, Sky, IHG, Kellogg's, L’Oreal, Sage, the UK Government and Oxford University. 

 

I reveal the secrets to being a high performer with a low risk of burnout. This makes me the ideal speaker if your focus is on driving both productivity and wellbeing. 

 

In my keynotes, audiences are introduced to a new way of working grounded in the cutting edge science of resilience, with practical tools to shift to a model of sustainable high performance.

 

I have gained industry recognition: A LinkedIn Top Voice on Public Speaking, Highly Commended as Best Live Speaker and voted the top 5 Best Story Tellers at the 2023 Speaker Awards.

Industry leaders work with me because I have a true gift for inspiring audiences. My jaw dropping story is a cautionary tale about the pressures of senior leadership and the lasting consequences when we get it wrong. 

With real vulnerability, I share how I went from the corridors of power to being diagnosed with a lifetime chronic pain condition. Clients often describe being deeply moved by my story of burnout and credit me with inspiring a deeper commitment to change. 


Now more than ever, we need guidance on how to keep going in the face of adversity. I show how we can make it through even the most difficult of circumstances.

The organisations I work with, including Deloitte, EY, PwC, KPMG, Meta, L'Oréal, Sky, Aviva, IHG, Siemens Energy, Kimberly-Clark, HM Treasury, and the University of Oxford, are not...
