Growth, Insight & Foresight Strategist
Leadership & Upskilling Innovator

For the last 4 years I have been the strategic advisor for the Dubai Future Council for Education and developed a number of new future focussed learning initiatives and propositions for the consideration of the Dubai Leadership

Learning Ecosystems

I have a particular interest in the future of fertility and what declining populations,  women's rights and growing femtech agenda means for  women.  I am in the process of designing my own start up in this area and will be socialising my business plan in H2 2023. 

Women's Rights

My original academic training focussed on politics, sociology, social psychology and anthropology.  Since then, I have been fascinated by behaviour change and what businesses and governments can do to capture imaginations and improve societies and lives for the better.  I have experience in UK and Middle East governments and I am passionate about the importance of good public policy for soft power and international relations. 

Public Policy

My foresight work continues to expose the importance of responsible consumption and production for people, the planet, corporates and governments.  Much of my government training and development work focussed on ESG and Netzero challenges.  At Companies Creating Change,  we only invite, coach and develop businesses that help tackle the UNSDGs

Responsible Consumption and Production

 I work in a collaborative style and encourage clients to work from the future backwards (rather than now forwards) with a tireless focus on the audience (rather than the business) in the spirit of exploring what is possible,  before then addressing what is plausible. 

My proposition development work started on products,  moved to policies,  then to corporates and FTSE 100s,  onto governments,  global cities and now countries. 

My Capstone Projects are highly structured,  tried and tested,  suitable for all levels of organisation and supported by excellent case studies.  The goal is to deliver horizontal and vertical development in individuals as well as organisational change at a business level. 

I have developed a unique consulting and coaching "Capstone" product that upskills clients,  gives them the tools to solve their own problems and through coaching,  provides them with the confidence to generate truly innovative solutions to address their own organisational challenges 

The process will always depend on the brief.   Each of my workshops,  trainings,  bootcamps,  accelerators,  workshops or learning sessions are designed with the audience and clear outcomes in mind.   I work to ensure that the content and agenda is both demanding and engaging and that there is both the clarity and the energy in the group to ensure the engagements drive impact. 

I am fully versed in all forms of speaking and teaching from being the MC at Conferences,  to giving lectures,  running accelerators and bootcamps, designing learning journeys,  facilitation workshops,  running group coaching and also individual coaching.
