I help leaders and organisations break free from low-impact, frustrating work by building real agency in themselves, their teams, and their culture.
Through books, writing, keynotes, and coaching, I show leaders how to create clarity, ownership, and meaningful performance where it often feels impossible.
The result: teams that take initiative, leaders who feel in control, and work people genuinely love.
What I Do
I work with individuals and organisations to create environments where people can do their best work and love doing it.
I write about why so many leaders and teams lose their way, and how agency can change drive engagement. I am the author of books on agency and motivation, and I create thought leadership, culture narratives, and executive-focused content that turns insight into action. My writing shows organisations and leaders how to create clarity, ownership, and meaning in work that often feels frustrating, confusing, or stalled.
Commission Writing →I speak to leaders about the hidden forces that kill engagement and motivation and what it really takes to build agency in themselves, their teams, and their organisations. My keynotes challenge conventional thinking, combining research, real-world insight, and practical tools, so audiences leave with a clear path to restoring performance, purpose, and passion at work.
Book a Talk →I coach mid- to senior-level leaders who feel stuck, disconnected, or frustrated by low-impact work. Together we focus on building personal agency first then translating it into actionable strategies that strengthen culture, decision-making, and accountability. Leaders learn how to create teams and organisations where people take ownership, feel trusted, and do work that matters.
