I’m a chartered psychologist with a PhD in Psychology, a certified senior coach (EMCC) and have been coaching executives for over 20 years.
I coach busy CEOs, business founders, C suite execs & high net worth individuals globally – people who have a lot of outer success, but are wondering what's next for them or who want more time, meaning or fulfilment in their lives or work. I use a unique combination of psychology and coaching to work with you in a deep, powerful, life-changing way that gets you the outcomes you really want. With 2

Looking for Christmas present ideas? My eBook '𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦: 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘎𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘛𝘰 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘵' is an ideal present for that friend or family member who wants to change something about their life or work but doesn't know where to start. Or it could be a present for yourself!
Designed for busy people, it's quick to read and easy to put into practice.
Here's a peak inside at one of the exercises:

Many organisations have a list of corporate values, but most people find it hard to remember them all.
A good tagline, on the other hand, like ‘𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘋𝘰 𝘐𝘵’ or ‘𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘵’ is an easy way to remember what an organisation stands for.
The 'Life Tagline Exercise' uses this idea and helps you create a tagline for your life and how you want to live it.
It summarises what you really want from your life in one clear, short phrase e.g. ‘𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦’, ‘𝘍𝘶𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵’, ‘𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨’ etc.
This then acts a reminder of how you want to live your life and helps you stay on track.
For more exercises to help you create the life you really want or to help someone else do this, download the book (in pdf format):

Love this poem in Young Pueblo's book 'Lighter'.
It's exactly what I did when I gave up a thriving business to do what I do now.
And it's exactly what my clients do as they choose a path of greater joy or fulfilment rather than the safe, but less fulfilling, path of what they already know and do.

My new eBook ‘𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲: 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁’ is now available on my website:

For ages I've wanted to be able to help people who want to be happier and more fulfilled, but may not be able to do a full coaching programme. And now I've finally done it!
This isn't a regular book - it's a 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 based around a number of easy but powerful exercises.
Essentially it's an 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁.
'𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦' comes from seeing what actually works in practice for the last 20+ years as an Executive Psychologist teaching and working with busy, hard working people like yourself.
It pulls together all the tried and tested ideas and exercises that I've seen make a tangible difference in people's lives again and again.
I hope you like it!

You spend more time working than any other activity (other than sleeping), so enjoying your work more can literally change your life.
Even if you've always loved your work, it's extremely common somewhere in your 40s or 50s to start enjoying it less or to feel less fulfilled.
This can be a confusing and unsettling time, and this blog explains why it's so common at this stage in life, and how to make sure we look in the right place for the answers.

I love talk radio and listen to Newstalk all the time. So it was fun to be on the other side of the microphone last week on the ‘Taking Stock’ business show talking about working with highly successful people, ‘midlife questioning’ and what drives people at the top of their career to do something different.
A big thank you to Mandy Johnston and Simon Keane for the very warm welcome.
I really enjoyed the opportunity to share a little of what I know about this not well understood, psychological transition people often go through in their 40s or 50s from 'success to significance'.

Does being the CEO really make you happy? To the outside world it looks like you have it all. You are the CEO of a successful business. You have the reputation. The status. The profile. Doors open for y
