Too many smart people in tech are quietly burning out.

I saw it everywhere and eventually, I realised it was happening to me too.

Over six years ago, I hit my own wall.

On paper, things were going well; solid projects, a good reputation, dependable results. But underneath, I was drained and quietly asking myself: Is this how it’s meant to be?

That question changed everything.

I stepped back, paid attention to what was helping and what wasn’t, and began rebuilding from the inside out. Over time, some clear patterns emerged. How I thought, how I acted, what mattered to me, how I managed my energy, and what helped me keep going.

That’s what eventually became the MOVES Framework.

Most of the tech professionals I meet today are smart, capable, and driven, but quietly running on empty.

They’ve done everything right: built strong careers, earned respect, delivered results. Yet the spark that once fuelled them has faded, replaced by restlessness or fatigue.

They don’t need another productivity trick.

They need space to breathe, clarity about what matters, and a way to make progress that lasts.

That’s what my work is about.

The MOVES Framework: Mindset, Ownership, Values, Energy, and Sustain, is a practical, human roadmap for reconnecting with who you are, what matters most, and how you want to show up.

🎤 I speak and work with teams on things people rarely make time for but deeply need:

•	How to stay steady when work keeps changing
•	How to spot burnout early and respond before it takes over
•	How to make progress at work without losing energy or self-trust.

If you’re looking for conversations that are honest, practical, and grounded in real experience, I’m always open to connecting.

If any of this feels familiar, you’re welcome to reach out.

Contamination of the environment plays a key role in the transmission of some pathogens that cause healthcare-associated infection. The UK's Health & Social Care Act (Department of Health, 2008) requires that healthcare facilities maintain a clean, appropriate environment that facilitates the prevention and control of infection. Effective environmental decontamination is an essential part of meeting this requirement.   Indeed, ensuring that the healthcare environment is safe and compliant is vital for patient safety.
