Aged six years young, I discovered an affinity for observing and understanding human behavior when serving customers in our rural roadside family gas station. It set the stage for my diverse career in sales. leadership and communications across industries and cultures.

From advising the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Community on 'Xceptional Selling’ or marketing construction equipment across Europe, to helping fundraising teams raise millions for charitable projects in Ireland and abroad, I draw upon a multitude of experience in the lessons I share here.

I have had the honour of addressing audiences throughout

Europe, North and South America and Asia. Nothing inspires

me more than captivating their attention and embolding them to take meaningful action.

Past clients include Million Dollar Round Table, GE, PMI, SAS, HSBC, KPMG, IMEX, Stryker, Scania and Globant.

I've honed my storytelling craft weaving tales from my 'normal' experiences around the globe both inside and outside corporate corridors. From begging on the streets of Melbourne, to breaking sales records, to a bomb left in a Buenos Aires auditorium, I have an extensive anthology to draw upon.

With five published books sharing my message, including the best-selling How? When you don't know how, and Do! The Pursuit of Xceptional Execution, my passion lies in transforming lives through exceptional communication.
