Mentoring & Coaching
Passionate about empowerment, confidence in public speaking, overcoming performance anxiety and nurturing talent.
As a retired rugby player, retired powerboat racer and having worked in the Entertainment Industry, I'm Media Trained and adept in working with talent (sport/music/media/entertainment) and corporate stakeholders (junior and senior) to help fuel successful performances, convey key messages and resonate with audiences.
Having led and developed multiple teams during my career, plus mentored as part of a number of internal and external company mentorship initiatives, I am well-versed and compassionate when it comes to navigating difficult business scenarios, inspiring confidence in presenting/public speaking and defying imposter syndrome.

Panels & Facilitation
Having facilitated marketing workshops and hosted panels, accepted speaking invitations, presented multiple pitches, been interviewed (both live and pre-recorded) and enjoyed time both behind the scenes and in front of the media camera, I am always open to new and exciting ways to reach more people who would thrive from some motivation and inspiration.
If I can do it, I truly believe anyone can, and I am keen to promote that "Impossible" can be rebranded into "I'm Possible".
