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 life and work. I apply it to streamline people development and solve performance problems to drive success.
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.
I started my career in the role of Process Improvement Specialist following a Graduate Engineer Programme at one of the largest manufacturing conglomerates in the Caribbean.
As a prospective future General Manager in the group, I was fortunate to be trained and mentored by senior executives in all aspects of business operations, including Coca-Cola Business Systems.
Besides my entrepreneurial experience of building tech-driven businesses, I've also been awarded various global Business and Leadership Certifications, including the Maxwell Leadership Certification in 2013.
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 and resources allow me to help executives and senior business leaders cement their A-Game for sustained personal excellence.
My background means that I also naturally excel at supporting the development of technical leaders (e.g. engineers) and emerging leaders, either directly or within organisations, to help them adjust and thrive in business leadership positions and master the people skills required to succeed beyond technical abilities.

5 Master Keys To Success in Leading High Performance
"An organisation will never outperform its leaders.
From personal experience and observations, I believe that 'Modern Leaders' must strive to excel in 5 core areas in order to drive top performance:
- DREAM PURPOSEFULLY of a vision and future destination worthy of pursuit;
- 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.
The fundamentals of leadership are timeless and unchanging. The art of their application must continuously evolve in the face of fast-changing realities."
