Writer, Coach, Mentor
Three decades in business taught me how to chase success.
Climbing is teaching me something harder: how to fail with grace.
For thirty years I worked in Big Finance and tech startups, including my own. In 2026 I stepped away from all of it to do work that means more to me.Now I’m Head of Community and Memberships at Substation Brixton, a wellbeing coach at MND7 and a mentor at Key4Life. I also write: books, research articles, scripts, and a blog about what climbing teaches you about falling. It’s varied work with one idea underneath it: helping people find their footing, on the wall and off it.
Failing With Grace
A climber’s notes on fear, failure and starting again
It began with a conversation after a bad session at the wall. Every post since comes back to the same idea: falling off is part of climbing, and how you fall says a lot about you.
