About us

The result of a major burn out in 2009 was a realisation that I could control most of the stress I experienced - that thriving in high performance environments was formulaic. My personal goal is to share this knowledge and stop 1 million people from sleepwalking through life without taking ownership of how they live!

I have worked in leadership development for 20 years, as a coaching master practitioner, I have studied, trained and qualified in many behavioural change disciplines, I find myself singularly dedicated to helping others live their best lives.

In my 30 years in the workplace the single biggest interest for me has always been people. I am fascinated by human psychology and I have studied, trained and qualified in many behavioural change disciplines.
The deeper my work takes me into the psychology of change resistance the more passion I have for sharing how possible change is at all levels and I find myself singularly dedicated to helping others live their best lives.

I joined the advanced development programme at Chase Manhattan Bank, moving on to head institutional sales at Northern Trust. I then set up a head hunting company specialising in the recruitment of senior bankers and it was here, whilst continually helping people escape from situations of their own making, that I found my calling, the field of human development and behaviour change. I became fascinated by what creates great leaders and the secrets behind behavioural transformation.

I sold my company and joined a pioneering Organisation Development (OD) consultancy and spent 15 years developing my skills and understanding of behaviour change in an organisational setting. I qualified as a master practitioner transformational coach, coach supervisor and systemic team coach. My work also involved creating and delivering bespoke development programmes for senior leaders, focused on shifting their behaviours to create cultures that would enable strategies to succeed.

I progressed to leading the consultancy and when we sold to a large US organisation, I ran their much larger European consultancy business focused on strategy, leadership and culture.

Finding myself more and more removed from the coaching and behavioural change work I love, I made the decision to focus on an area that means the most to me, helping people be their best self.

Establishing OwnLife Analytics has enabled me to pour in all I have learnt around human resistance to change and co-create hybrid approaches that truly break new ground.
