Real experience.

Real stakes.

Real clarity.

I’ve worked at the edge of pressure - in hospitals, global consulting, and international schools - and I’ve faced the real cost of acting on what I saw.

I help people make decisions they can stand behind, without losing themselves in the process.

About Me

You carry responsibility - for teams, for results, and for people who count on you.

Map the truth

Understand power, politics, and consequences.

Choose your line

Define what you can accept and what you can’t.

Be intentional

Act decisively without regret.

What changes for you

A decision you can be proud of
Not the “perfect” answer - the one you can defend to yourself in ten years’ time.

A strategy for fallout
You plan for possible consequences instead of being blindsided by them.

Less paralysis / impulsive escape
You stop swinging between freezing and fantasising about burning it all down.

A stronger internal reference point
You stop outsourcing your judgement to bosses, partners, or peers.

Words for what’s really happening
You find language for what you’re seeing - so you’re not gaslit by yourself or others.

Less judgement, more action
You see your situation in context - and regain your self-respect.
