I deliver across a range of formats: keynote talks (45–90 minutes), half-day and full-day corporate workshops, multi-day immersive programs, and curriculum-integrated business school modules. I will work with your executive education design team to produce longer 1–5 day intensive programs for corporate cohorts. All my work, even a single keynote, is designed to leave audiences with a durable, applicable framework and, most crucially, how to join the dots between framework and reality.

Yes. Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, I am available for international engagements across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Canada and USA. Virtual delivery is available for keynotes and workshops where in-person is not practical. My frameworks are designed to travel across cultural contexts.

My frameworks draw on peer-reviewed research in cognitive behavioural psychology, neuroscience-validated mindfulness (including Goleman and Davidson's validated research on meditation outcomes), Jungian and developmental psychology, and ontological coaching — itself grounded in linguistic philosophy and phenomenology. My MPhil research adds academic rigour to my applied practice. My "Self-Help for Skeptics" framing is a method, not just a brand: everything I teach has been subjected to the same scrutiny I applied in my previous career as an investigative journalist, well before it reaches an audience.

Yes. All topics are developed from a consistent body of frameworks and research, but the emphasis, examples, and framing can be configured for the specific audience and context. I typically conduct a pre-event briefing conversation to understand what the audience most needs to hear — and, equally, what they are currently believing that may not be serving them.

I design for breakthrough rather than information transfer — a skill honed through five years as a coach trainer in the ontological tradition. Business school modules that create genuine change require students to encounter something that challenges their existing frameworks — not simply to receive additional ones. My modules integrate psychological depth, structured reflection, and practical tools in a sequence that makes the personal dimensions of professional performance visible and actionable.

I work with business schools (Personal Mastery, Adaptive Leadership, and Developmental Psychology modules), technology-driven and engineering-led organisations (EQ for AI mastery, information asymmetry frameworks), corporate L&D and HR teams, and conference organisers (leadership and talent development, coaching implementation and AI strategy). I am based in Johannesburg, South Africa, and available for international engagements and virtual delivery.

Most guest lecturers teach business topics. I teach the personal and psychological development that makes business topics usable. My specialist depth in ontological coaching, Vipassana meditation, and developmental psychology — combined with 10,000+ hours of coaching practice and an investigative journalist's discipline for testing claims before teaching them — produces content that does not resemble typical leadership development material. Audiences who have resisted "soft skills" framing consistently report that my evidence-based approach is the first that has made sense to them.
