About
We help companies elevate engagement and performance during times of change by providing their leaders and teams with actionable, science-based and commercially sound strategies to insulate their mindset and enhance people-centric cultures.

– ABOUT ME –
I combine commercial savviness, a passion for people and 10+ years of corporate experience to breathe life into the human aspect of business. Having spent countless hours with hundreds of teams from startups to Fortune 500s, I’ve observed clear behavioural trends behind the happiest and most successful people...
Now through my company, along with my Ph.D research in career performance, I leverage the latest insights in high performance and leadership into commercially-sound strategies for people and companies to do their best work by putting emotional intelligence and ‘humanness’ at the core. And I absolutely love it!
