I am the founder and moderator of the website and online discussion group Agile Leader, the network and resource centre for young professionals. I created the forum because I recognised, through my coaching and training, that there was limited information and support available for young leaders.

I help people learn Leadership and Personal Development skills through a variety of mediums including Coaching , Training, Teleclasses, Video Courses and eBooks.

I've always had a deep interest in people; in particular what makes us successful in life and business. Now in my late thirties, I work as a leadership trainer and personal coach where, through the academic and practical experience that I have gained, I am able to guide others.

I trained as an Electrical Engineer in the late 80's and pursued a passion for software development. Software provided the foundation for my corporate career and at age 27 I founded a Software Consultancy that I grew to a £10 million concern with over 130 employees. If I had one eye on financials, the other was certainly on the welfare of my staff. I knew without question that successful businesses are the result of committed and focused individuals.

My personal mission statement is "Discover, Learn, Share" . Meaning that I enjoy being out of my comfort zone in unfamiliar places, I enjoy being with others to make sense of the unfamiliar and I enjoy sharing with others what I know.

My favourite quotation, from Denis Waitley, is:

"It's not what you are that holds you back, it's what you think you are not."
