If you joined me in my office you would see books everywhere. On the bookshelf, piled on the side, stacked on the floor. I have a system, so I know what I’m reading next, and everything is categorised. Whilst the reading topics have expanded over the years – psychology, mindset, performance – one thing has stayed consistent, and that’s my interest in biographies.

Ever since I was tiny I’ve been interested in people’s stories. What makes people tick? What decisions led them to end up where they are? What did they learn along the way? How did they achieve success? In fact, some of my earliest memories are reading about people’s lives whilst at primary school. I’m guessing it’s this early interest in people that led me to become a psychologist.

Today I’m a chartered psychologist. I spend most of my working life helping people, teams and organisations understand what it takes to navigate challenges successfully, build resilience in the face of adversity, and create environments where it’s possible for each individual to thrive and perform at their peak, in their own unique way.
