Throughout my teenage years, the one thing I was certain of was that I would be the first person in my family to go to university. I’d always had a fascination with the mind. At that time specifically forensics, criminology and psychology but I found I was too emotionally attached. This wasn’t good.

Enter my extremely disappointed/angry parents.

Making it simple and actionable, with a bit of tough love, we work across all public and private industries. No matter what industry you are part of, our biggest challenges are always the same. When it comes to people, it’s all about our level of emotional intelligence.

I met the man of my dreams, yet my job became less and less satisfying, failing to challenge and stretch me as a person.
Throw in single parenting two energetic young boys where I was constantly second guessing myself and fighting to be financially independent after purchasing my first home on my own.
