Born & bred in London. Gentle giant of a man. After decades in creative communications, I'm now a resilience coach & founder of GIANT, a resilience thought leadership brand I use to support workers, workplaces & communities with coaching, speaking, writing & course creation.
I've always been fascinated by leadership & personal development. So GIANT is where I'm now making my biggest contribution.
I host a weekly We Are GIANT! room on Clubhouse (https://www.clubhouse.com/club/we-are-giant) where every Thursday at 8pm we talk about the ways we can be more GIANT – bigger inside than life is outside – particularly when we're struggling & feeling overwhelm.
And I'm currently writing a business book on Resilience for Hodder & Stoughton, & writing content to help folk recover from major (& minor) work setbacks & get their careers back on track (https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/giant-life-skills-in-troubled-times/).
So if you're a worker or a have a workplace with colleagues that could do with becoming more resilient, you can book a free clarity call with me here: https://calendly.com/wearegiant/free-60min-giant-coaching-call.
As for my previous career, I'm a typical copywriter: loves books & learning; insatiable curiosity; loves speaking on stages but not small talk; little geeky around the edges.
Big-ideas-balcony-view kind of guy. Robust thinker. Can't stand flaky, shallow thinking. The kind of fellow that produces proprietary branding models that can inspire culture change.
Widely experienced at integrated creative communications: from branding, to graphic design; from direct mail to all things digital; from advertising to scripting, directing & producing TV & radio spots.
B2B mostly. Some B2C. Lots of third sector work.
Had a good time both creating & presenting winning bids/pitches over the years.
Ready for resilience coaching spots, speaking gigs, contract work & non-executive directorship positions in the public or private sectors.
More than happy to consider creative work, but especially keen to help with coaching & mentoring…
