Connection and compassion don't get in the way of striving for excellence - they're essential for it. 

This principle has been my guiding light throughout my career. In parallel, an insatiable curiosity for human psychology has led me to have multiple careers in which I have weaved this principle into my work. 

After completing a doctorate in the science of compassion, I worked for many years as a therapist, helping individuals and couples to reach their goals. Subsequently, keen to have a bigger impact, I became a full-time university psychology professor, researching and teaching on interventions for wellbeing and behavioural change in people and organizations. Presenting at conferences across the US, Berlin, London and Colombia made me realize I love the ability to share ideas at scale. 

Now as a keynote speaker and corporate coach, I help people to maximize their leadership potential and performance in the workplace. I love sharing best-practice with the next generation, which also keeps me up to date with the ever-changing science behind personal growth.

As a NeuroCoaching™ accredited coach and a HPCP-accredited psychologist, all training content is assured to be cutting-edge and your team will be in safe hands.
