My Story

I began my working life at sixteen as an apprentice cook. Over more than five decades, my journey has taken me through kitchens, business ownership, boardrooms, consulting, coaching and the solitude of the sculptor’s studio.

For many years, I helped hospitality businesses and their leaders become more successful. Eventually, I realised that the most useful lessons were not limited to hospitality—or even to business. They were about how people think, what they value and how they continue moving when the familiar answer no longer fits.

AURA began as a coaching approach built around four principles: Authenticity, Understanding, Resilience and Aspiration. It is now evolving into something broader—a living philosophy for thinking clearly, acting deliberately and creating success that continues to feel like success.

I do not believe people always need another expert to give them an answer. Sometimes they need the space, challenge and confidence to examine the answer they already have, notice where it is chafing and form a better hypothesis.

My approach is reflective but practical. We question assumptions, look for the connections between things, identify what genuinely matters and choose a meaningful next action. Then we observe what happens and remain open to changing what we thought we knew.

AURA is unfinished, but it is not unformed. Each article, conversation, workshop and coaching experience helps reveal what it can become.
