From the boardroom to the trail and back again

I started my journey in vocational school, became a process engineer, and rose to lead billion-pound energy projects at BP and RWE. But the real shift began when I transformed how I thought, not just how I worked.

“Before I changed careers, I rewired my mindset. That was the real transformation.”

“Before I changed careers, I rewired my mindset. That was the real transformation.”

Running — including ultramarathons — became my mental training ground. It taught me how to lead with focus, discipline, and endurance. That mindset of resilience and performance now shapes everything I do as a coach.

The moment everything shifted

In 2019, something changed.

I had climbed the ladder, earned the trust of executives, and led major infrastructure projects. But during a series of high-stakes board meetings, I found myself completely hijacked — not by the data or decisions, but by the pressure.


I walked out knowing I needed to evolve. I had the skills. What I lacked was inner stability, presence, and the ability to lead myself under pressure.

That moment sparked a deep dive into self-development — not just to perform better, but to feel in control, confident, and clear. I trained my mindset like a muscle. I studied psychology, neuroscience, and coaching. And I realised I was not alone.


Since then, I have made it my mission to help other high performers develop the mental, emotional, and leadership edge they need — not just to succeed, but to thrive.

Why mindset is a performance multiplier?

I train leaders the way I trained for endurance: through intentional practice. The ability to stay clear, composed, and focused under pressure is not a trait — it is a muscle you can build.


As a certified coach and NLP Master Practitioner and hypnotist, I combine lived leadership experience with neuroscience and behavioural tools to help you lead yourself and others more effectively — without burning out.
