Hello and welcome...
As a former chemical engineer with international experience at ICI, DuPont and Zeneca, I bring a refreshing perspective to leadership and success.
With over 20 years of experience developing senior leaders and their teams, I have worked with global corporations and SME's, consistently delivering results that go beyond technological boundaries, including petrochemicals, oil and gas, biopharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, manufacturing, mining, broadcasting, and automotive.
From a working-class background in Glasgow’s council tenements, my work is rooted in my own profound personal transformation that began at age 30. Developing my natural empathy and intuition, I retrained as a coach, founded a niche leadership consultancy in 2002, and went on to become an award-winning speaker, executive retreat leader, podcaster, and poet.
As an experienced Vipassana meditator with over 10 years of daily practice and annual silent retreats, I incorporate mindfulness into my work, supported by over 20 years daily journaling and dream work.
Besides people, my other passions are horses and poetry. I live between Edinburgh and Granada, where I enjoy horse riding in Las Alpujarras and honing my Spanish language skills. My poetry has appeared in various publications and I aspire to write in Spanish one day!

My holistic approach develops greater personal awareness, accelerates deep change and brings meaningful success in both work and life. There is an emphasis on making the unconscious conscious through a variety of approaches including psychometric frameworks, 360 feedback, shadow and dream work, energy psychology, storytelling and mindfulness.
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
