Origin story

I was running an award-winning business and running on stress, until I was diagnosed with chronic stress and told I might have 18 months left. That was my turning point. I learned to manage my mind, and iCan Thinking grew from it.

Best at helping with

Stress, belief and confidence, and building a business that can run without you.

If I skip my meditation or exercise, my energy drops.

Favourite iCan idea

Thoughts are what you think. Mindset is what you think from.

I can breathe fire, and I have won over 20 speaking competitions. I was Maritime Operations Director at the London 2012 Olympics, and I am writing my first book, The Secret Game of Life.

Origin story

I did everything I was advised to do with money, yet after years of financial problems I went bankrupt. I spent the six years on the insolvency register cleaning up my thoughts about money, and I came out knowing that our thoughts really do create our reality.

Signature move

I use a simple five-part tool called the model. This tool can be used to solve any problem and also to create any desired result.

Best at helping with

Building a great relationship with yourself, and starting and growing a service business from scratch while you are still in your corporate role.

Catchphrase

How you do one thing is how you do everything.

Going to bed late. I am no good to human nor beast.

Sidekick

My Moleskine cahier journal and a blue Uniball Eye fineliner.

I manifested a cheque for £50,000, which arrived the day after I came off the insolvency register.

Origin story

I've been there. Stuck in anxiety, knowing there was something more I wanted yet unable to bridge the gap between knowing and doing. Anxiety and overwhelm kept the status quo firmly in place. The shift happened when I stopped fighting the feeling and began exploring it with curiosity, creating clarity, calm and balance. I now guide others across the bridge from knowing to doing. I help you turn down the noise, reframe unhelpful patterns and move from feeling stuck to living your life the way you desire.

Signature move
