I believe that organisations led by emotionally intelligent leaders at all levels, whilst underpinned by a culture of care, can drive engagement. The output from engagement includes improved metrics on safety, wellbeing, quality, productivity, CSR, sustainability, retention, recruitment and reduced organisational risk. 

I’m a motivational speaker for organisations such as the Institute of Directors (IoD), Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), British Safety Council (BSC), Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) amongst others. I also speak at company events on leadership and culture.

I have a thorough understanding of risk and change management, essential for ensuring the successful implementation of cultural improvement programmes. The successful implementation of any programme, often hinges on the ability to engage, influence and work with numerous key stakeholders, including senior leadership teams and others.
