The word 'Engineering' is derived from the Latin word for 'Ingenuity' which simply means creative problem-solving.
The terms of 'Success' are unique to each individual but will ultimately be the progressive realisation of some ideal, desired outcome.
On some level, we all practise engineering in our pursuits of our individual definitions of success.
I apply my skills to develop and coach high-performing leaders who can engineer the outcomes they want most across life, work and business.
AN EXPERIENCED COACH, TRAINER, SPEAKER & CONSULTANT
Trained or Mentored By Some of the World's Best
I've had the privilege of either learning from or being trained by a number of internationally trusted thought leaders including:
Career Journey, Qualifications and Certifications
I've been formally trained in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering with experience working across the Caribbean, Europe and North America.
In 2010, I started my career in the role of Process Improvement Specialist following a Graduate Engineer Programme designed to develop future General Managers at one of the largest manufacturing conglomerates in the Caribbean.
As a prospective future executive in the group, I was fortunate to be trained and mentored by senior executives in all aspects of business operations, including the world-class Coca-Cola Business Systems.
Beyond my subsequent entrepreneurial experience of creating tech-driven businesses since 2015, I've also been awarded various global Business and Leadership Certifications, including the Maxwell Leadership Certification as a Coach, Speaker and Trainer in 2013.
As a Leadership Coach and Advisor, I naturally specialise in helping Engineering, Manufacturing and Technology companies but I've supported a range of other types of organisations including some in the Financial Services sector.
My expertise, network and resources allow me to help business owners, CEOs and senior business leaders cement their A-Game for sustained personal and leadership excellence in shaping organisational excellence while also helping them to develop competent leaders at all levels.

My 7 Master Keys For The Modern High-Performance Leader
"An organisation will never outperform its leaders.
From personal experience, training and observations, I believe that the 'Modern Leader' must strive to excel in these key areas in order to drive top performance:
- DREAM PURPOSEFULLY of a vision and future destination worthy of pursuit;
- THINK PRACTICALLY of strategic ways to convert vision to reality;
- LEAD PEOPLE on a journey of growth towards that clear, inspiring vision;
- LEVERAGE PROCESSES to maximise productivity and minimise human failure;
- SUSTAIN PERFORMANCE of self and others to achieve human potential;
- SOLVE PROBLEMS by eliminating their root causes to prevent recurrence;
- BE PHILANTHROPIC to the benefit of humanity alongside profitability.
The Modern Leader strives to succeed in both life and work as (Aligned, Balanced and Competent) ABC Leaders with a CEO mentality to create desired positive change in any environment while truly enjoying the spectrum of life itself.
The fundamentals of leadership are timeless and unchanging. The art of their application must continuously evolve in the face of fast-changing environments.
I think the leaders of this will be both creative and critical, versed in multiple disciplines like the disruptors who shaped the Renaissance era.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND PHILANTHROPY
My personal mission is to make a positive global impact via my skills and leave a legacy of re-imagining the application of engineering to people and business development.
In my private time, you may find me periodically using my skills to help children prepare for future success via educational, personal development programmes and media within my Pilly Pelican brand or at I Am A Girl NGO, founded by my wife.
Prevention is better than correction. Shaping behavioural patterns is easier than breaking and reforming them.
