“Perform and transform. Be extraordinary.”
Helping High Achievers Play a Different Game
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve already done well — outward success, inward friction.
You’re not broken. You’re just bored of the rules.
You’ve mastered the game of doing. Now it’s time to explore the power of being.
I work with high achievers and their teams to escape performance plateaus and unlock what it means to truly be extraordinary. That’s not about pushing harder — it’s about discovering a different way to live, lead, and create impact.
My Journey: From High Performance to Higher Purpose
I studied biology at Oxford (until I got tired of sexing fruit flies) and became Head of Structured Derivatives at JP Morgan Chase. I was successful by all the traditional metrics. But behind the suits, stats and spreadsheets, I was playing the wrong game — and it made me miserable.
That breakdown became my breakthrough.
I discovered the power of presence, identity, flow and aligned performance. I learned how to help others create more success with less friction — and rediscover joy in the process. That’s now the work I do every day through coaching, speaking, masterminds and online communities.
What I Believe
You’ve likely achieved excellence. Now it’s time to explore extraordinary.
You can create greater impact — with more meaning and less burnout.
We’re all born with greatness. It’s time to liberate it.
The world doesn’t need more hustle. It needs you to Be The Difference Today.

This work isn’t for everyone — and that’s the point.
It’s not about being normal. It’s about being real. Being aligned. Being extraordinary.
