      May 2011 - now
      Strategist, Coach & Trainer

      I remember sitting down a few years ago and promising myself that "To the best of my ability, I will be a benefit to every person and situation I come in contact with". This promise became my Personal Mission Statement, and my business was born.I have now worked with thousands of people from every continent except Antarctica, with the sole aim of supporting them to achieve the results they consider to be dreams. Elite athletes have managed to achieve PBs, students have managed to 'over-achieve' in their exams, departments of my corporate clients have managed to increase their revenue, customer satisfaction, and employee job satisfaction... all after going through one of my programmes or working with me 1 on 1. My passion is having fun and an amazing time with my clients, and then seeing them with their result; a lasting result. My promise is that they get that result or their money back. If my client doesn't benefit, neither should I. Before getting in contact with me about potential work, please know that I only work with people that are serious about achieveing results - If that's you, get in touch and we can start on the path to your success.

      Learning and Development: Trainer

      The FIH, as hockey’s World Governing Body deliver educational programmes and projects globally with the aim of growing the game. My role as Trainer has allowed me to design and deliver Coach Education products globally, both face to face and virtually.The COVID-19 pandemic created a huge opportunity for us to reach out to coaches worldwide and offer them support in their coaching expertise, and bring them together. As a result of the success, I’m proud that the work we designed, implemented, and delivered in that period is now an integral part of the FIH’s strategy in their learning portfolio for coaches, trainers, umpires and officials moving forwards.
