My Story

---

I spent years climbing the corporate ladder. Relentless, focused, hungry. I came from humble beginnings, so earning my seat at the boardroom table felt like the ultimate reward for all the sacrifice. I’d made it.

But the view from the top wasn’t what I imagined.

Behind the title and salary was a pressure-cooker of isolation and impossible expectation. I was meant to have all the answers, lead with confidence, drive results. Instead, I felt like a fraud with no map. There was no mentorship, no support, just a silent, suffocating demand to perform.

Then came the breaking point. I reached out to my CEO, looking for guidance on a strategy I wanted to lead. I was met with four words that shattered me:

“Figure it out yourself.”

That moment exposed the truth. I wasn’t leading, I was surviving. The pressure built. The business struggled. My self-doubt took over. I stopped sleeping. My decisions stalled. I questioned everything: my value, my identity, my future. Eventually, the mask cracked.

I lost everything. My job. My marriage. My home. My confidence. Years of achievement unravelled in months. I hit rock bottom with nothing left to prove… and nothing left to lose.

But that breakdown became my breakthrough. With nowhere else to go, I turned inward. I threw myself into understanding human behaviour, neuroscience, performance psychology, anything that could help me make sense of how I’d come undone. I invested in myself. I hired a coach. And that one decision changed everything.

I rebuilt slowly, deliberately, this time with a new mission: not just to survive, but to rise stronger than ever.

I took everything I’d learned:
✅ My years in leadership
✅ My MBA from the University of Liverpool
✅ My professional training as an internationally accredited coach
✅ My qualification as a Master Practitioner in NLP
✅ And most of all — my breakdown

…And used it all to create a life and career rooted in clarity, resilience, and purpose.

Today, I lead with authenticity. I run a coaching business I believe in. I no longer chase validation, I own my value. I’ve coached senior leaders, entrepreneurs, and executives who were this close to walking away from it all. Because I’ve lived it. I know how burnout eats away at your confidence. I know the fear of admitting “this isn’t working.” And I know the incredible freedom on the other side of that truth.

This isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am.

And yes, there’s a love story too. After an 18-month separation, my wife and I rebuilt our relationship from the ground up. Stronger. Deeper. Real. Our family became the ultimate proof that even the most broken chapters can be rewritten.
