Back then, mindfulness was often dismissed as little more than a calming technique.

 

But I saw its potential as a practical way to help people think more clearly, respond less reactively, and lead in a way that aligned with who they actually wanted to be.

 

Today, my sweet spot is coaching senior leaders 1:1 — helping them recognise the patterns that show up under pressure and change the behaviours that shape their leadership, teams, and culture.

 

Because leadership isn’t what you know.
It’s what shows up under pressure.

 

My work blends neuroscience, behavioural change, mindfulness, and straight-talking honesty into conversations that are practical, insightful, and occasionally uncomfortably accurate.

 

Clients often tell me I bring humour, warmth, and a no-fluff approach that helps them move from insight to meaningful behavioural change — not just another “aha” moment destined to die in a notebook.

 

Over the years, I’ve worked with Chief Executives, senior leaders, and managers across the public and private sectors, including health, education, government, consultancy, law, banking, IT, energy, pharmaceuticals, retail, and small business.

 

I’m also the New Zealand business partner for Triple Goal Leadership Development, supporting leadership teams across Aotearoa.

 

And despite all this work on human behaviour… I still believe a great pair of shoes can fix just about anything.
