After every dark period comes one of light.

I’ve been paying for my Skool community for over a year. Never put to work. A money leak.

Over-analyzing and some very real personal challenges in 2025. A few demons took away my focus. I was stuck, lost.

And yeah, I was the bottleneck in my own launch. True story (kinda ironic for a coach who works with bottlenecks, huh).

But today, the silence ends.

Here's why:

Over the last few years, I’ve worked with two dozen 7-8-figure agencies and brands. 

We designed clear goals, implemented frameworks, and tight KPI systems. Solid stuff. All killing it.

But I noticed a pattern:

Even with the best systems in the world, success depends on whether leadership is ready. 

Especially the middle managers. The lieutenants.

The quality of your lieutenants determines if your goals actually become reality. Or if they stay spreadsheets. 

Dreams.

That’s why I’m launching The Conscious Leader.

While I continue my 1:1 high-performance coaching for founders via REMODE, this community is the "Lab" for your leadership team.

Starting today, I am committing to:

✅ Daily Strategic Support.
I’ll answer every leadership challenge or operational bottleneck with personalized 1:1 Loom videos.

✅ 2x Weekly Hot Seats:
60-minute live hot-seat group coaching sessions where we solve real problems.

✅ Bespoke Classroom:
Modules built from the real-world challenges your leaders face.

The result?

You regain your time, freedom, and focus.

Better-aligned leadership always leads to better business results.

I’m looking for the "Next 10".

Most of the decisions you regret weren’t “bad decisions”.

They were built on values you never defined properly.

It’s why you stay in roles, relationships and versions of you that look fine on paper but wrong in your body.

You didn't just end up there - you unknowingly decided your way into them.

Because each choice you make sits on top of values that collapse the moment people, money or pressure push back.

In The Obsidian Vault, we cut through all of it so your tough decisions feel simple to make:

We'll break down: 
- What’s really happening.
- What you’re actually loyal to and why it matters.
- What it will cost to keep things as they are.

That’s how you stop making decisions you regret and build a life you don't.

You'll see clearly, decide cleanly, and live closer to what you truly value with each choice you make.

 -You’re smart, capable & deeply responsible, but privately exhausted
 -You’re dragging unfinished conversations, roles or relationships behind you
 -You’re standing in a life that looks fine on paper & wrong in your body
 -You’re value driven, but feel a constant gap between what you stand for vs what you tolerate.

More insights, healing or content won’t change that. This is the lever:

Language, structure and perspective that makes it harder to lie to yourself.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐚𝐦
I’ve walked parallel paths since I was 19, when I quit uni to build a 25 year career with the likes of Goldman Sachs, UBS, HSBC, Barclays and others.

I set up my first business alongside my first job, went on to build two jewellery brands, a business transformation consultancy, and a private practice working with 600+ founders and executives through High Magick.

All while navigating Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (c-PTSD)

Tough calls come with that territory, and often arrive all at once. But that wasn’t new to me.

Aged eight, I became a carer for my disabled aunt. It was violent and turbulent.

I had a front row seat to what happens when loved ones refuse to make obvious decisions, what it costs them, and me.

It taught me something most miss:

Your best decisions are made when you can be a bystander in your own life at the right moment - then move swiftly.

That’s tough for most people.

Master it, and you solve problems before they can even exist - just like I, and 600+ executives and founders have.

Through real-life (anonymised) examples from their sessions and my own life, I explain how.

When you need to stop making decisions you regret and build a life you don't, welcome.

What being a carer in a violent home at 8 taught me about decision-making at 45:

Clarity requires separation.

The closer you are to a situation, the more deliberate that separation must be.

We view separatiom as ‘cold’.

I know many people have thought that of me with personal decisions I've made.

But it isn't.

It’s objective curiosity.

Curiosity creates understanding.

Understanding creates distance.

Without distance, most adults react and call it ‘intuition’. 

But if you can observe chaos without entering it, you control the next move.

That distance creates clarity.

Clarity gives you choice.

And when you have choice?

You gain the kind of personal power you've needed all along.
