I've been travelling my whole life. Have lived in 6.5 countries (ask me and I'll explain :-)

Life is very short. It's important to decide what you want to do, and then get out and do it.

Professionally I’m currently coaching leaders on Cambridge University’s Executive MBA program.

( My real job is a yogi, but if I call myself that, no one will hire me!)

Leadership psychology, language and communication fascinate me. It's not about the money, it's about helping people to bring the fun back into their business and life.

My aim is to help leaders create businesses like families that people love to work in and are actually doing some good in the world: conscious capitalism. My favourite business projects are education and environmental E.g. reversing climate change.

I'm also involved in some entrepreneurial projects; developing online courses and information products. The next step is setting up my Mandarin Chinese blog.

Oh and I used to work in the music industry teaching music production and composing music for film. Then I changed direction, got into languages and psychology, hardly touched music for 10 years. After a long break I've just started doing some singing again and don't know how I left it so long.

After studying Mandarin Chinese for over 10 years, I've just started learning Tamil language which I'm hoping won't be as hard as Chinese was…

I love new challenges. I try to balance my work with my more artistic and spiritual side. I can talk to anyone and love to learn from every person I meet.

Last but not least, I can't get enough of nature. I can spend days in a forest but also love the ocean. Trees are often nicer than humans.

Phew! That's quite a lot about me. Thank you for reading this far :-)

Looking forward to meeting you and having some amazing adventures together :-)
