Everything is better with purpose
I love to help owners and managers to build meaningful, fulfilling places to work. The kind of place where team members enjoy their work and each other, and leadership genuinely cares, acts responsibly and keeps an eye on sustainability.
In a nutshell - a successful modern business.
I have worked with companies such as Dentex, Practice Plan, Henry Schein and others on projects from sustainability and responsibility to leadership and culture.
My mission is all about building working environments with strong values and a clear sense of purpose so that teams are aligned, energised and great to work with.
With my past experience as a CEO and a teacher, and my recognition as a Fellow from the Institute of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Professionals, I bring some very useful and provocative insight to dental businesses.
My goal is to shape businesses into more than just workplaces. It’s totally possible to create organisations that make their teams proud and their customers loyal. Through the Great Boss Academy, I mentor leaders to quickly build their leadership skills, foster engaging work cultures, and turn Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility (CSR) into a competitive asset. My approach brings together everything from leadership and culture to CSR, putting businesses on the path to optimal team dynamics, ethical operation, and positive environmental and community impact.

Being a Boss in today's world can be an incredibly challenging task.
It often feels like you're juggling multiple plates while riding a rollercoaster, constantly striving to prevent any of them from falling.
Having spent 15 years in East Africa as a senior leader of an international development charity, where I eventually became the CEO, I understand the pressures you face. We managed various programmes, including a social enterprise and a full-service private dental practice, so I am well-versed in the demands of dental leadership.
Despite not receiving formal leadership training, I managed to thrive! Through the guidance of my mentors, coaches, and a great deal of studying, reading, and practice, I learned how to lead and, more importantly, how to view myself as a leader.
I have successfully led teams for over 20 years, gradually developing my leadership skills and knowledge on the job, day by day, week by week, and month by month. Now, I have distilled the insights I've gained into user-friendly programs to support people like you.
