About
A decade of working with business owners has enabled me to recognise the patterns that limit personal and business potential.
I’m a business and executive coach who doesn’t believe in everything we’ve been told about success.
I’m a time management expert who doesn’t believe in time management.
I’m a life-long business owner who doesn’t believe in pushing.
That’s me.
So what do you believe in?
The power of clarity to make you happy.
The knowledge that your ‘success’ may look radically different from anyone else’s.
That what really matters to you is just that – what really matters.
There is no secret formula. There’s no one-size-fits-all. But there are tried and true techniques you can only learn by doing … or by getting the kind of expert advice that will support you to be clear, productive and more satisfied.
HERE’S HOW I HELP
I work with business owners, just like you, to manage the energy required to tackle your workload, so you don’t feel overwhelmed or out of control. I do this by delivering one-on-one consulting and life-changing programs. I show people how to master personal accountability, making them more productive by utilising the latest research in applied brain science. Ultimately, I inspire people to fall in love with their work again and start feeling good about the way they live.
HERE’S WHAT I DO
I have been where you are right now.
Looking back on two decades of starting, growing, and selling businesses, I wish someone had helped me to pause, shown me how to take an in-depth look at my overall strategy, my working practices and guided me to do that with confidence.
I wish someone had shown me how to manage my workload, so I didn’t feel constantly overwhelmed.
I started my first business at age 25
I started my first business at age 25. I loved what I was good at, graphic design. But as the company grew I employed others to do what I loved and I moved into other areas; business management, client development, finances and HR. Back then, I had no idea what I was doing. I knew everything about design, but very little about running a business.
Yes, my business was successful, but I was exhausted. I felt stretched, bone dry creatively and I ceased to have any spark. I was on a treadmill and couldn’t figure out where the off button was. It wasn’t that I wasn’t interested – I loved design – but I constantly felt overwhelmed and out of control.
I learned by trial and error
- I found I had a knack for streamlining processes, getting to the heart of the matter and figuring out I didn’t need to do it all myself.
- I learned it’s impossible to manage time – but very powerful when you learn to manage yourself.
- I learned ‘busy’ isn’t the same as being productive and found a way to run my day, instead of my day running me.
- I developed tools to assist me, and they worked.
- For the first time, I felt in control, happier and my mind was at peace.

If you’re like many of my current clients, you’re already a high-achieving business owner or senior executive. You’ve made the commitment, you’re seeing rewards, but you hadn’t quite anticipated the sacrifices you’re making – and you want something back.
