Keynotes that inspire self-leadership.
Stress, silos, and disengagement erode performance. Through the lens of self-leadership, I show leaders how to build trust, psychological safety, and resilience — the conditions where teams thrive and results accelerate.

The challenge
Why keynotes?
Teams and leaders often know what they should do but struggle with the mindset and energy to act. Stress, silos, and disengagement erode performance. People leave inspired from conferences but rarely with tools they can actually use.
My keynotes change that.
I combine stories, psychology, and practical tools from NLP so leaders not only feel inspired, but also learn how to:
Turn self-leadership into confidence, influence, and results
Strengthen resilience and focus to perform under pressure
Transform stress and disengagement into clarity and energy
Break down silos by building trust and psychological safety

From boardrooms to the stage.
With 17 years of leadership and commercial experience in global organisations, I led multi-billion-pound energy and infrastructure projects across Europe and the UK. I’ve managed international teams, reported to senior executives, and navigated high-pressure environments where clarity and resilience are vital.
Today, I combine that lived experience with executive coaching, NLP, and mental fitness to deliver keynotes that are both inspiring and practical — equipping leaders to thrive under pressure and drive real results.
