After doing my 1st degree at the University of Glasgow (BSc in Psychology), I took up a teaching/research position at the University of Wales (Cardiff), where I gained a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology. A career change saw me enter the world of IT. I started in the DVLC in Swansea, as an analyst/programmer, before joining BT, where I have worked in many and varied roles, from hands-on IT, to more senior management and leadership positions. These later roles have been the most interesting and challenging part of my entire career, enabling me to close the circle and synthesise my psychology training with extensive experience of what it takes to succeed in the world of business. I now enjoy working with people to help them achieve what they want using a unique combination of talent in coaching, psychology and business. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing the people I work with succeed.
