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.

Do you fear you’ll never do anything worthwhile?

Let Before You Begin be your guide to change the way you are currently engaging the world, so you can experience different results. Results that align with what matters most to you. When you apply Compass Form, this book’s simple framework, you learn to navigate uncertainty, settle on a decision, and, when necessary, adjust course to stay in alignment with what matters most to you.

Compass Form is about isolating decisions, so you address them specifically and clear some of the chaos that comes with trying to make many decisions at once or trying to make the “perfect” decision. Since life is ambiguous and chaotic, it isn’t about predicting the future. The skill you build with Before You Begin is learning how to quickly make sense of the chaos and being content with the best decision possible given the reality of your circumstances.

That’s what you’ll learn to do in this book through its:
Example scenarios
Depictions of real people applying Compass Form
Reflection questions
Practical application activities

Get out of stagnation and frustration and start making real progress towards what matters most to you with Before You Begin.

I listen a lot, (and now I’m helping others get stronger physically)

and I’ve been listening for a long time. Been showing others how it's done for slightly less.

Leaders who are better at listening...
differentiate themselves.

Leaders who are strong physically will last longer. 

Listening like a lack of mobility won't just fix itself. It will require a change. 

I help guide leaders to better listening. I also help you workout in the comfort of your own home with minimal equipment. 

Let’s work together to make the changes you’ve been thinking about.
