“
For over a decade, I’ve delivered hundreds of workshops, talks, and coaching sessions at some of the world’s biggest companies – including Barclays, Sony, PwC, and The New York Times – helping their leaders communicate with authority and influence. I’ve worked with the Metropolitan Police to help young people choose a life away from London-based gangs and lecture at London Business School on Personal Impact and The Art of Storytelling.
I blend my background in Classical Acting from The Guildhall School of Music & Drama with advanced training in Performance under Declan Donnellan OBE, Body Language and Presence with Nikolay Karpov, and Voice Mastery with Patsy Rodenburg OBE to deliver talks and workshops that are both powerful and practical.
I’m also the co-founder of The Connection Project, an award-winning technology start-up reimagining social media’s role in our lives. This work applies my expertise in behavioural change and cultural influence to the digital and cultural future we’re heading toward.
This journey – from acting to leadership coaching to social innovation – gives me a unique perspective on storytelling, influence, and human behaviour.
