Hello, I am an experienced software engineering leader and transformational coach based in Oxford, UK. I studied philosophy to postgraduate level at the University of Oxford (specialising in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science) and intended to be an academic philosopher until the lure of web technology proved too hard to resist. I am a competitive cyclist in time trials and on the track. I am a former British Masters Champion and UCI World Masters Silver medallist in the individual pursuit. I am the current British Masters 40-44 age group record holder for the individual pursuit. Hoping to wear 🌈 someday.

What motivates me to be a coach? The simple answer is that I enjoy helping others to realise their potential. In my experience if you scratch beneath the surface of any human being, you'll find a huge reservoir of untapped capabilities. Our brains are amazing but the way they evolved can cause us to get in our own way, to miss opportunities and focus on the wrong things.

The focus of transformational coaching is to help our coachees achieve a shift in their thinking and behaviour. We aim to do this by asking powerful or insightful questions, seeking to raise awareness, to uncover the assumptions that are limiting their performance.
