I started my career as a teacher working with adult ex-offenders. It was whilst I was working with my students that I started thinking about Psychological Safety and how to cultivate environments where people can thrive. I created the Authentic Self Process; an extraordinary powerful system that empowers you to bring your whole self to work and life.

Roll on a few years and whilst teaching in a Further Education College, I experienced a significant period of bullying for my sexuality. The stress I felt, as a result of the hate incidents on a daily basis, resulted in my physical and mental health deteriorating.

This was the catalyst for me to leave education behind and to set up my own training, consultancy and media company. I created the 5 Pillars of Psychological Safety, which are being used around the world to create fully inclusive workplaces.

Now… I am the CEO and Founder of the Psychological Safety Institute, working with multinational corporations and leading global organisations. We specialise in psychological safety diagnostics, training and resources.

I am a world-renowned speaker and advisor for the BBC and ITV. My work has been featured widely in the media, including Sky News, BBC, Forbes, The Telegraph, Psychologies, Cosmopolitan, The Times, Metro, Pink News, Vice, Gay Star News, Diva and Curve.
