I’m most alive empowering people and teams to lead and manage themselves in savage conditions and hostile terrains....
.....at the very edge of our comfort zones, where conversations go deep and learning gets real.
Whether it’s through a whiteout on the Cairngorm Plateau, a desert traverse in the Atlas Mountains, a jungle rendezvous in Belize or trekking a remote valley in the Himalayas — beautiful, unforgiving ground that gives me a quiet sense of purpose and contentment.

My work is simple: bring people together, settle the pace, listen well, and move with intent. A thread runs deeply through Fire Events, Peak Challenge and Kyashar 

...the three elements of my eco-system and different expressions of the same aim: helping people think clearly, look after each other and take the next considered step.

My craft sits at the intersection of adventure, the boardroom, problem-solving, leadership programmes, team development and wild places, guided by the quiet power of nature.

I design and deliver experiences that help people think clearly and work with care and trust —  through Fire Events - leadership and team programmes that develop decision-making under pressure; through Peak Challenge  - outdoor challenges in the UK and overseas that build resilience, give a strong sense of achievement and shared leadership and through Kyashar - back-to-what-matters, purpose-led retreats that reconnect people to their values, their flow and their purpose.

Years in wild places — the North West Highlands of Scotland, the Alps, the Himalayas, Arctic Norway, the jungles of Belize, the Atlas Mountains, the Andes — have shown me how trust, communication and clear roles unlock performance. I’m logical when it counts, a people person always; equally at home guiding a team through a whiteout or a tough quarter.

What you can expect is simple: intelligent challenge, steady judgement, and a space where people feel safe enough to stretch. When teams slow down, step outside and speak honestly, good things follow — deeper trust, a steadier rhythm and a renewed sense of purpose.
