25 years. Building things that matter.
From experience, comes wisdom.
I'm a Founder, Careers Strategist, and Transformation Leader working at the intersection of people, organisations, and AI. I designed ACTVO® — an AI-powered workforce transition platform — to power up mine and my client’s accuracy of outcomes. I write, speak, and work globally.
My purpose is making work, a place people love to be.
In an AI-accelerated world — where roles are changing fast, teams are anxious, and nobody has a clear road-map — leaders need more than strategy. They need the courage to lead emotionally.
Building on the platform of Emotional Intelligence & Emotional Agility, this book offers a new Leadership style. It explores the role of “Emotional Triads” — where conflicting and powerful emotions at work like Fear & Love can be tempered by transitional emotions, such as Hope.
In this book I capture stories from real experiences inside global organizations where leaders have been asked to step into their emotions, lead people through one of the greatest workforce transformations of our lifetime , and turn human emotions at work into ‘signals’ - to partner with AI to create innovative new cultures, products and services.
