Helping young professionals earn bigger salaries and the promotions they deserve 💪 | $100k salary at 27 | CEO of AIC Connect | 1st exec role at 36 | Career coach 💼

By 2030, Gen Z will make up a dominant portion of the global workforce. Yet, a massive disconnect exists between this generation’s expectations and traditional corporate structures.

I sit right at that intersection.

As a Career Coach, I work directly with ambitious Gen Z professionals every day. I help them navigate their early careers, translate their skills, and overcome workplace anxiety.

Because of this face-to-face work, I get to see real-time insight into what actually drives engagement, retention, and performance in the modern workforce. I don't have to guess what young talent wants; I hear it directly from the horses mouth.

I use this unique dual perspective to help two distinct groups:

1. For Organisations & Leaders (Speaking, Consulting & Workshops)

I help forward-thinking companies future-proof their culture.
Through keynote speaking and change management workshops, I assist leadership teams in:

- Decoding Gen Z - Moving beyond stereotypes to understand the psychology of the emerging workforce.

- Retention Strategy - Creating environments where young talent wants to stay and grow.

- Intergenerational Communication - Reaching across the divide between Executive leadership and early-career professionals.

2. For Young Professionals (Coaching & Mentoring)

I continue to champion the next generation through 1:1 and group coaching.
I help you:

- Build confidence and combat imposter syndrome.

- Navigate corporate politics and advocate for your worth.

- Design a career path that aligns with your values.

📖 Coming Soon: My new book on creating a career that 'just works' for you, where I explore these themes in depth, offering a roadmap for both anyone navigating a career.

Skilled but restricted by self-doubt & overthinking?

🔱 Minotaur Mastery is a personal development brand rooted in myth, philosophy & real-world fear mastery. Designed to help you go to war with yourself & a degenerate society fighting to keep you weak.

🎙️ Minotaur Video Exemplar helps you:

	•	Find your voice
	•	Build your brand & presence
	•	Lead your mission with purpose

Most fear speaking. I did too until I quashed it by making videos.

Go from silent and stuck to bold, visible, confident, impactful & dangerous with a camera, message & mission:

🎥 Make powerful videos with confidence (even if you hate being on camera)
🚀 Build a personal brand rooted in truth, not hype
🏛 Become a role model in your field, family or community
🧭 Lead movements, not just chase followers


🏛 Batley Entrepreneurship Club is a local play. A grassroots project reviving a “forgotten” town through events, startups, storytelling & community vision.

Reimagining what it means to build from street to startup, real estate to reinvention, turning a Northern town into a blueprint for bottom-up regeneration powered by community, creativity and entrepreneurship.

🧱 My Background

I qualified as a UK lawyer in 2015. But I had issues:

	•	Fear of speaking
	•	Fear of failure
	•	Fear of being seen

I worked my way up the corporate ladder from paralegal to senior management to becoming a consultant to launching my own law firm in 2018.

But I hated the legal career and lifestyle. So I left.

Since then, I’ve explored and tested dozens of business models, creative ventures and various projects of all shapes and sizes across the spectrum.

This led me to work with Saudi firm Qadr Financial, which included various work streams:

	•	Startups raise investment
	•	International companies enter Saudi
	•	Structure and launch VC funds
	•	Deliver Shariah-compliant real estate projects
	•	M&A and cross-border investment

But my deepest work comes from using my own transformation of conquering fear of speaking, self-doubt, shyness and social anxiety to escape a career I hated, find clarity & leadership to help others do the same. 

My philosophy centres on simple principles:

Master yourself
Build your brand
Become a role model
Transform your world

🔨 Build people
🏗 Build towns

Preserving human connection in a disruptive AI age.

Whether you’re a founder, builder, creator, aspiring leader or professional the goal is the same:

Think critically
Evolve internally
Contribute externally
Ascend spiritually

Last year I was 19, this year I’ll be turning 40.

Wtf is going on and how did this happen?!

Wasn’t going to post this on LinkedIn, but the comments on TikTok were lively 😂

So much so that I’ve just been given so many content ideas, lessons & experiences to make more videos on.

You just never know what comes out from random content; but it’s always going to be nuffin’ if you never post.

Anyhow, to the 40+’s - how old are you really?! 😁

I aged early because of stress.

Firstly from the misery of being stuck in a job and career I legit hated.

Then starting a business and becoming a father at the same time.

One is difficult as it is, both together was, in hindsight, reckless.

However social media wasn’t what it is now back then.

There are so many opportunities and pathways; so much guidance available.

It’s now about execution.

Executing for a couple of years will open up so many options, to prevent regret for your older self.
