Delivering keynotes, moderating panels and running interactive workshops across five continents. Also an experienced master of ceremonies for conferences with 1000+ people + chair of galas, award events and more...

I'm a committed espresso user and a past chair of the International Association of Business Communicators. And I've run non-profits - and held leadership roles at IBM, Motorola; and perhaps more unusually, the 260+year–old Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (The RSA).

When not at events and conferences, I provide 1:1 advice to Chairs, Chief Execs and senior leaders on strategy, change and turnarounds.

I’m particularly interested in how strategic alignment can focus people - and enable growth.

With my colleagues at Align, I facilitate strategy for organisations that want to enable all their people to put a shoulder to the wheel. Organisations don’t make things happen. People do.

You’d be surprised how varied the clients are: government agencies, large semiconductor firms, small town councils… why? They all have people in common.

Also, through courses and 1:1 mentoring I work to develop the next generation of leaders. It is all about enabling people to step up and lead.

What do you want to change?
