My Story

My business world is like yours, just upside-down.

I’m a neurodivergent entrepreneur, business consultant and marketer and ‘thinking differently’ has been my calling card.  I’ve always been brought in by exec teams to pick a path through complex issues, to solve problems and build inspiring outcomes.   I was born into a business family armed with a curiosity gene.  I’ve helped a bucket of entrepreneurs on their journey to millionaire status and when I’m not speaking and writing I work as an advisor, mentor, inventor and cheerleader to a host of businessmen and women at all levels of progression around the world.

My enthusiasm for life and getting the best from people sparks my passion and lots of ideas. I’ve devoted much of my life to building high-performing teams fulfilled by the work they do.

My only business qualification being that of a trained shoemaker.  My career in leadership coaching and consulting began with a chance event that led him to question his motives and life course. For some reason which I can’t fathom,  my unconventional off-the-wall views on business and leadership have attracted a following of enthusiasts, which I always find humbling.

I am also active in the DE&I arena. In 2023, I founded the Universal Workforce Institute (the UWI), a social enterprise committed to creating greater work and greater tomorrows through a community initiative to share know-how on how to build a more inclusive and high-performing workforce.
