Express Your Whole Self & Amplify Your Impact In The World


Expression is made up of personal reflections on navigating life and essays on broader social matters. For me, personal issues and social issues are related topics. There is little point being enlightened in your head and not expressing that in your life, work and way of being. The real purpose of personal development or spiritual growth is not simply to enhance your life but to enable you to impact yourself, others and our world in a more meaningful way.

The key to living and working ‘on purpose' is to fully express all of who you are and can be. What you do, how you live, your relationships and your legacy will all flow naturally from a commitment to allow all parts of yourself to be seen and expressed in the world. Your life, work or business simply provide the vehicles through which you express your whole self. We create a new world not simply by what we do but by who we become. Each of us has the power to make a difference.

My reflective pieces are the combination of topics I research and speak about such as purpose, leadership, self-actualisation, spirituality and authenticity and my personal lived experience of grounding these ideas into the messy reality of life. Just like this one: Becoming Your Whole Self Begins With The Truth.

I write opinion pieces on social & cultural issues if I have a strong or different view (often both!) as I did in: 5 Narratives We Need to Challenge to Enable Greater Gender Equality in Leadership or more recently on Peace: If We Want Peace, We Have To Choose Peace

Living a fully expressed life matters. To express your whole self is to amplify your impact in the world. It is the call of our time; to evoke your inner leader and become who you are destined to be in service of a better world. My hope is this newsletter supports you with content and community to inspire and empower you on that personal journey.

About me:

I am a keynote speaker, coach, writer and thought leader. After almost 20 years working in global investment management, I resigned in 2017. As I watched the mounting problems globally, I was certain I was supposed to have a greater impact in the world. The only problem was I had no clue what that would look like. During that period of soul-searching, I returned to university to study the psychology of human potential and conducted an academic study into spirituality, meaning, purpose and authenticity. You can read about that here: My Research.

What I learned most during this time is that the answers we seek are always inside us. We just need to carve out time, find moments of silence and listen to what that inner voice is telling us. The truth was I knew exactly what I was supposed to do, I just needed to find the courage to do it.

Today when I speak and write, I draw on my multi-disciplinary background and a deep love for narrative and story. I speak on topics as diverse as meaning, purpose, leadership, self-actualisation, authenticity, self-expression and spirituality; what they share is the exploration of who we are & how we want to show up in the world.

Alongside this publication and my speaking practice, I coach and advise purpose-led entrepreneurs, business leaders and individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of who they are so they can live, work and lead with greater impact and authenticity.
