As a young boy who lived in three of the four 'home-nations', across six schools, who was dyslexic and who lost his dad when he was very 9 years old I developed a particular distain for learning and education. There was no point in my young life that I ever remember placing a high value or great deal of time into traditional classroom learning. 

 

I never thought taking on the more difficult things in life would become a passion; seeing, facing upto and overcoming challenging but fulfilling endeavours, doing things that many would never have the drive to consider, taking set backs (plenty of them) along the way and still moving forward, seeing that failures and short comings are where the best learning lives and using these episode to accelerate my own journey.

 

Having been in the professional end of education for nearly 20 years and in Sanrio Leadership teams for nearly half of that I have been both at the leading and trailing edge of capacity building at individual and organisational level. Oe of my biggest frustrations is seeing people not believe and not a thieve...and I mean that for colleagues as much as I do the children and families that I have served. I have seen the power that come come from having the right person at the end of a conversations and more often than not, the best person is not the person who has the answers but who knows how to help you find them yourself. 

​

I believe this can live in anyone and through The CoachEd Journey, I want to help others unlock this in themselves and their organisations so that they too can set, reach and often surpass their own professional and leadership goals.
