A weekend bikepacking trip — and an unexpected trail-side bike pump — got me thinking: what do we leave behind that might help the next person along the way?

A recent conversation reminded me how easily we’re boxed in by past roles. This blog is about what I do now, who I work with, and why I’ve stepped outside the traditional job title world - and why that’s both freeing and a little terrifying.

What if you asked AI to name your strengths - and your blind spots? In this blog, I reflect on what my digital partner Ferris surfaced about how I lead, where I thrive, and where I need to grow.

Three months into life outside the corporate world, I sat down to write — no overthinking, no filtering. Just a list of 15 things I’ve learned so far. From Sunday night dread to the power of saying no to bad clients, here’s what’s surprised me, grounded me, and kept me moving forward.

We all have life scripts — internal stories that shape how we lead, relate, and react. In this reflective blog, I explore how those scripts form, how they can help or hinder leadership, and how coaching can unlock a different, more empowering path forward.

Whether you’re leading in healthcare, business, or beyond - the way you lead matters. This blog explores five core leadership behaviours that consistently drive team performance, drawn from work with both NHS and global organisations. Practical, people-focused, and grounded in real experience.

Many leaders feel stuck — not because they lack skills or drive, but because of limiting beliefs they’ve internalised over time. These beliefs shape how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. As a leadership coach, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be when clients start challenging these internal narratives. In this blog, I explore how coaching helps surface those beliefs, reframe them, and unlock new possibilities — using tools like Byron Katie’s four liberating questions.

I’ve been exploring 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 this week; particularly in the context of coaching.

Humans are pack animals. We connect and work together…

🚴 To have fun
🐯 To survive
🌱 To thrive

Really enjoyed this conversation with Megan Schirnhofer about the decisions we make - both personally and professionally - and how they align with our core values.

Where do you focus your efforts during change - the process or the people? Lots of change relies of what we call “communication” and I think communication is two-way? However, how many change programmes over-index on broadcast? How many actually spend more time listening?

Phew, January is over! Time to stop pretending we kept those resolutions past the 6th...

But life goes on, and so do the challenges we aimed to tackle with those resolutions.

So Dry January comes to an end...and with it a few reflections.

Networking. It’s not for me. It’s for…

👔 Salespeople
🙌 Extroverts
↔️ Others

But what if I can’t do it, and it all goes wrong?
But what if I try and I fall?
But what if…

…it works out?

🚴‍♂️ Today, I begin my climb up my very own Mont Ventoux - a new career mountain to conquer.

Travelling home on a cold December evening, after wrapping up my contract with Gamma, I find myself reflecting on an incredible 15-month journey - and everything I’m grateful for.
