I’ve burned out three times.
I’ve brought work stress home.
I’ve nearly blown up everything I care about.
Now I help high-performing professionals take back their clarity, energy, and influence... before it gets that far.
It's not always visible
On paper, I had it all figured out:
– Multi-sector success in academia, agtech, and commercial strategy
– Leadership roles across high-stakes, high-growth environments
– An MBA and deep experience leading change, teams, and transitions
But here’s what very few noticed:
– Working through illness because I didn’t want to seem weak
– Leading teams while slowly disconnecting from myself
– Coming home with nothing left in the tank for the people I loved
It never looked like collapse to me.
I was a quiet, competent survival mechanism.
My third burnout was dramatic - shingles.
The decision made itself.
I realised I wasn’t willing to keep leading at the cost of myself. And I sure as hell wasn’t willing to keep watching other brilliant, capable people do the same.
So I took everything I knew - strategy, communication, psychology, human performance - and rebuilt my life around one question:
What does it take to lead well, live fully, and not lose yourself in the process?
Grounded in 3 truths
I help professionals and leaders like you reclaim clarity, emotional bandwidth, and inner authority;
without quitting or blowing it all up.
My coaching and consulting work is grounded in three truths:
1. You’re not the problem - but your current system might be.
2. Burnout, political exhaustion, and decision fatigue don’t fix themselves.
3. You don’t need motivation - you need alignment.
I work with people who are still high-performing - but starting to feel the cost.
Together, we stop the spiral before it takes something irreplaceable.
Clarity. Strategy.
Emotional Honesty.
I bring the strategist’s brain and the coach’s heart.
I ask questions other people won’t.
And I work with clients who are done with surface-level fixes and ready for meaningful change.
Working with me means:
No jargon
No performance masks
No waiting for things to get worse before they get better
Why Adaptive Apex?
The name comes from that very idea.
We’re all aiming to reach the Apex of our leadership, our careers, and our life.
The world, though, doesn’t stand still. If we’re not adaptable in how we lead, how we grow, and how we connect - we'll either fall short, or we fall off.
My goal is to help you reach your Apex, and stay there - not by doing more, but by getting clear on what truly matters and aligning how you lead.
If that sounds like something you’re ready for, let’s talk.
