I make the best leaders better.

After quitting my job as a tenured career academic, my strong sense of purpose propelled me into becoming the reigning authority on C-level execs and C-suiters. My smart mouth is only overshadowed by my unprecedented battle strategies, and I’m here to deliver what’s possible.

What’s been possible for me?

For starters, I earned my PhD scholarship against rampant & tough competition, became an Economic and Social Research Council Fellow and rose to Professorial level as an Organizational Behavior and Development expert. Over the course of many years, I became a leadership model theoretician, publishing countless articles in top journals. I’m also a frequent recurring keynote speaker and chaired an Oxford Union debate with Germaine Greer and Helena Morrissey on ‘Can you Have it All?’ and a regular contributor on future business changes/trends, cultivating women’s leadership and the age old debate about women’s careers and family.

Speaking of family, I’m a mother of 10 — which should be one of many indicators that I’m a shameless overachiever. (Wink.) My book NOISE: A Manifesto Modernising Motherhood (Triumph Press, 2021) and SPUNK: A Manifesto Modernising Fatherhood (Triumph Press, 2022) are available here.

In addition to the corporate work I l-o-v-e, I keep my creative juices pumping strong by hosting a top 2% podcast, producing an award winning podcast, and writing here.
