Transformational Consulting, Coaching & Courses  for Leaders and Business Builders

My Story

I live in Melbourne, Australia, am married to Shauna, my wife and partner in life for more than 40 years. We have 2 adult children, Ashlee and Sam, who are both married and 3 Grandchildren.

I have worked in a wide array of roles throughout my career.

From Selling Papers at 11 years of age, to being a part owner of a cleaning business and being respected, as a leading business coach for 13 years, my journey to 60 and beyond has not all been smooth sailing.

I have developed skills as a Subject Matter Expert on Facility Services Contracts and a Specialist Generalist Business Coach and Consultant, with an ability to coach business and people across multiple industries and roles.

A highly trained Leadership coach and facilitator, having worked with Large Corporates, Mid-Tier Private companies and small business owners, I know how it feels when things are going well and when they are not and better than that, I know how to work the way out of that malaise.

My “MBA doesn’t hang proudly on my office wall, because I don't have one! For years I said that the only time I had  been to university was to look at Cleaning Contracts.” 

For a long time that was the reality, although in the last 15 years I have consulted to a large number of universities on their facility services contracts and have been a sessional lecturer on Marketing, Business Planning and Business Start -up at Box Hill Institute.

For many years I struggled  with my mental health and the PTSD that resulted from a motorbike accident, that had me walk away from the spotlight of business ownership in 2019.

In the time since, I have had a sabbatical of sorts from traditional business life, having a go at several different things including a return to retail and 2 years operating a handyman business, even a shot at acting.

In 2025 I published my first 3 books.

In 2026 I published Do As I Do : Leading Side By Side, which is my fourth book aimed at emerging and existing leaders.

My hopes for you is that whatever you are doing in coming to my work, is that you are able to apply what you learn, to make a better life for you and your family.

Why I Do It

Before I launched my coaching practice, I had worked worked with too many people who had no concern for anyone other than themselves.

Whilst being an employee was rewarding for varying periods of time, I was sacrificing time with my family to build someone else's business. In my last couple of roles I inevitably ended up feeling that I had more value to contribute to my family and my community.

That was 2003 and since then I have spent more meaningful time with my family, seen my adult children get married and have their own children, while working with hundreds of people to liberate themselves from the difficulties of being in business and building careers.  

I love being able to see people's lives change because someone like me, has entered their life and takes the time to really listen to them and work with them to make changes for the better.
