Hello!
I’m a global workplace culture expert sought after by organisations around the world who want to create and evolve vibrant, high-performance cultures.
I spent three decades as an employee. Leaving school with three basic qualifications, I started on the bottom rung of the ladder in the private sector and finished three decades later as a senior director in the public sector, having led teams and change initiatives in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. My time as an employee provided me with many experiences and insights which now serve as the foundation of my practice.
My approach is unique and centres on the work required by employees to help themselves. I work closely with my clients to create experiences that generate the motivation to change. Using energy, humour, lived experience and empirical evidence, I ignite enthusiasm within individuals and teams, making it impossible for them not to be inspired by the untapped potential of their culture.
I’ve written five best-selling books, one of which ‘The Project Book’ won Australian General Business Book of the Year. I’ve also won awards for my public speaking, have hosted three podcasts and have received many accolades from clients who have benefitted from the work we’ve done together.
I believe wholeheartedly that hard work and laughter are not mutually exclusive; this ethos permeates my work and the experiences I curate for my clients. My relentless pursuit of excellence ensures that what I offer remains contemporary and invaluable, reflecting my dedication to fostering a harmonious, productive, vibrant, and safe work environment for all.
I live with my family in Winchester, UK, but am less than an hour away from Heathrow Airport, which transports me to many locations around the world to help clients achieve their culture goals!
“I create energetic safe spaces where laughter is generated and what I teach is easy to put into practice.”
