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

  • Dealing with VUCA (Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity)

  • Resilience

  • 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.

What I Offer:

  • Challenge and Support: I create a balanced environment where you are both challenged to push your boundaries and supported throughout your journey.

  • Goal Setting: You will set your own goals and take full accountability for achieving them.

  • Thought Empowerment: As your coach, my primary role is to enable you to engage in the best possible thinking. I help you clarify your thoughts and transform them into actionable steps.
