What I do
Keynote Speaking
For a number of years I have delivered a unique and compelling live-action case study on decision-making under pressure, drawing from my intense experiences in Afghanistan. This journey, which led to me receiving the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, Britain's second-highest award for gallantry, is a powerful backdrop to discussions on resilience and fortitude. I also share my personal story of overcoming a life-changing injury, culminating in the honour of captaining the Invictus Games recurve archery team. My talks are designed to inspire and equip audiences with the mindset to face and conquer their own challenges.
Key themes
Decision making under pressure
Collaboration and teaming

Performing under pressure.
Inspired by real-life experiences and hard-earned lessons, my talks empower audiences to transform adversity into opportunity, building the resilience and skillset needed to thrive in any situation.
Coaching and mentoring
My approach is built on a profound belief in each person's potential—often more than they believe in themselves.
