You’re Too Close to See It
Why smart founders and leaders miss value hiding in their own business — and what changes when they look again at customers, expertise and decisions they have stopped questioning.
Speaking & workshops
I speak about resilience and reinvention, yes. I also know what it means to build a business, lead a team and find commercial opportunity hiding in plain sight.

On the stage
My TEDx talk grew from a serious accident, the prediction that I could be in a wheelchair by 55, and the 370km ride across India that followed years later. I don’t turn that into a neat motivational slogan. I use it to talk about the small decisions that change what becomes possible.
Alongside that lived story, I bring 25+ years in sales, business building and commercial growth. That combination works for conferences, leadership events and organisations that want an audience to leave thinking and acting differently.
