"The time for empty conversation is over.
Getting uncomfortable is the only way forward for people, communities and organisations who want to thrive."
Here's the T:
I’ve always cared about sustainability — not just the ecological kind, but human and financial too. For me it’s about how we live, how we work, and how we take care of each other without burning ourselves, or the planet, out.
Ethical business is at the core of what I do. Not as a strategy or a sales point, but because doing good for good’s sake is simply the right thing to do. I’ve spent years exploring how ecology, inclusion and ethics intersect — and it’s in that messy, complicated space where the most powerful change actually happens.
Growth, for me, is about understanding and sharing. It’s about holding uncomfortable truths safely, so people can sit with them long enough to find what needs to shift. That’s where transformation begins.
When I think about change, I picture a tangled ball of wool. You don’t rip it apart; you find the end and work with it until the knots start to loosen. That’s how I approach organisations, communities and people: going deep into their real complexity, then co-creating solutions that work in real life — not just on paper.
At the heart of it all is this: when we work for the good of the whole community, individual lives improve too. That belief runs through everything I’ve done, and it’s what keeps me passionate about the work I choose to take on today.

The longer Bio
For many years, I worked with corporate leaders to create inclusive, healthy, and more productive workplaces that worked for everyone.
I became known as a published and award-winning behaviour change wondercupboard — part strategist, part coach, part trainer — blending curiosity and playfulness with deep cross-functional knowledge. My strength was helping people and teams move out of stressful dysfunction and into human-focused ways of living and working, where critical thinking – and people – were genuinely encouraged and valued.
My corporate clients ranged from global organisations to small local outfits, across industries including academia, public and third sector, technology, bio-medical and international development. With each one, I co-created bespoke solutions, drawing on years of change management consultancy and my time as a lecturer in the Business and Management faculty at Oxford Brookes University. The programmes I designed delivered tangible results: reduced turnover and sickness absence, improved productivity, stronger cultures, and, yes, healthier bottom lines. My playful, human-centred approach to change and culture work made me an unusual – and refreshingly effective – partner for my clients.
Alongside the corporate work, I was also a coach and mentor, supporting entrepreneurs and leaders navigate the challenges of life and work. I crafted personal solutions with each client, helping them find where friction was holding them back and experimenting with ways to ease it. Much of that work was about giving people permission to drop the masks they wore and explore what became possible when they showed up as themselves.
I always brought heaps of play and irreverence to the work. My clients learned how to work with their own unique makeup to create sustainable change, opportunity, and business models. I held the belief that beyond constant friction lies bottomless opportunity – and time and again, I helped people uncover, explore and enjoy it.
All of that work — in boardrooms, lecture halls, and one-to-one conversations — shaped how I see the world and how I choose to show up now. These days, I’ve stepped back from corporate consultancy to focus on work that’s hands-on, human, and rooted in real life. I’m building The Clearing Crew, offering compassionate hoard clearance and decluttering, while keeping a door open for the occasional guest lecture, talk, or rare coaching conversation.
The heart of it all remains the same: creating space for people to live and work in ways that feel true, sustainable, and alive.
