About
A journey to now
I look back at the last 20 years of my career and it is very easy to see how I landed up working on mindsets, but it certainly wasn't that clear along the way.
Today I use my training in mindfulness, breath and embodiment to to explore nervous systems and open up game changing ways to boost creativity, leadership qualities, communication skills, confidence and so much more.
This all came from a desperate search to help people sound and be the most honest epic version of themselves.
When I was first teaching and coaching all too frequently the decisions people were accessing for their development didn't reflect the greatness I could see in them.
It originated from their states of fear or stress, not from their state of safety.
So quickly, my goal became getting clients to see for themselves how they could navigate consciously through their nervous systems, transform how they felt, transform how they built relationships and transform the spaces they worked in.
I have been lucky enough to learn from some remarkable people and cultures about how to explore minds - all in a bid to get people to places they couldn't go before, in very short spaces of time.
And why? The ways in which we work and develop our teams is in vast need of an upgrade. We cannot continue to burnout workforces or put up with unhealthy relationships when we need to facilitate change on the planet as fast as we do.
I don't think I'll ever stop looking for new techniques to bring to the table. I hope we'll get the chance to share some of them soon.
