About

I'm a resilience researcher and developer. I've published multiple research papers on the neuroscience of resilience, and have been building tools using AI and tech to help build a more resilient world. My belief is that if we all feel more resilience - safer and more confident - then we can build a world that is more compassionate and understanding of each other, across communities and cultures.

My pathway to make this a reality is through Driven, a comprehensive resilience program that brings together in-person coaching, AI-powered virtual coaching and psychometrics into a peer-reviewed program.

Lately I've been working a lot on the concept of High Adversity Resilience Training (HART as I like to call it!). This is mainly about building comprehensive resilience in first responders, medical staff and military personnel. Interestingly, many of these skills (like sustainable comparmentalization) is also applicable for leaders. It's an interesting field!

Always looking to connect and collaborate on projects, so let's connect & chat!

  • RARE - The Exposome in Mental Health

    Hello Driven

    Despite an increasing global focus on the personal and economic costs of mental health and wellness, there is a lack of innovation that presents a paradigm shift in both preventative and curative treatment. A more comprehensive understanding of mediating factors of both illness and health can assist in applying effective preventative care sooner.

    With the genome as a complete map of DNA, the exposome as a counterpart is a new concept as the complete map of human exposures. However…

    Despite an increasing global focus on the personal and economic costs of mental health and wellness, there is a lack of innovation that presents a paradigm shift in both preventative and curative treatment. A more comprehensive understanding of mediating factors of both illness and health can assist in applying effective preventative care sooner.

    With the genome as a complete map of DNA, the exposome as a counterpart is a new concept as the complete map of human exposures. However, exposomic research thus far focuses primarily on chemical and environmental exposures. We propose the development of the Relational Adaptive Resilience Exposome (RARE) framework as a ‘mental health exposome’.

    RARE provides conceptual benefits for individual empowerment in preventative and reactive care, along with advantages to clinical care through faster and more accurate diagnoses, comprehensive care, treatment monitoring, and ongoing maintenance. We discuss the development of the framework, its value, the RARE Factor as a simplified quantification of self-care, and future directions.

  • Executive Resilience: Neuroscience for the Business of Disruption

    Driven Books

    We are heading for uncertain times. And uncertainty is one thing that the brain doesn't like.

    This uncertainty is fuelled by a growing drive for businesses to not just innovate, but to disrupt. The result? Technological capabilities that are quickly advancing towards the automation of every job on the market.

    Millions of workers around the world are starting to ask a simple question: "What happens to me when my job gets automated?"

    Manufacturing and agricultural industries…

    We are heading for uncertain times. And uncertainty is one thing that the brain doesn't like.

    This uncertainty is fuelled by a growing drive for businesses to not just innovate, but to disrupt. The result? Technological capabilities that are quickly advancing towards the automation of every job on the market.

    Millions of workers around the world are starting to ask a simple question: "What happens to me when my job gets automated?"

    Manufacturing and agricultural industries are well-versed in the consequences of automation. For the services industry, this is relatively new. As machine learning and AI capabilities grow, it becomes viable to automate even well-protected jobs.

    The result is growing uncertainty. On a global scale, the impact on the human psyche is fear. Fear that renders us vulnerable to policies which can destabilise our global society. In organisations, this fear creates cultures of blame and stagnation, stifling innovation.

    Our trajectory of technological advancement is inevitable. We cannot remove the coming uncertainty. However, uncertainty doesn't need to create fear. We can change how we react so that we embrace and even thrive on this uncertainty.

    An interconnected set of crucial life skills, collectively called resilience, is the answer to these uncertain times.

    For the first time, insights from neuroscience, psychological resilience, and workplace culture are combined to discover the origin of sustainable disruptive innovation. We present a holistic model for resilience that contains the six critical components of a resilient culture.

    Executive Resilience takes a tour through practical neuroscience and their implications for leaders and managers to guide their people in uncertain times.
