Helping you solve your Business Challenges:

💎 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀: Know something is not right with your business, but you don't know who to ask for help? The structure doesn't reflect where your business is at now, things feel cobbled together and your procurement, contracting, compliance, risk management and governance need work. And it's all causing inefficiencies, compliance issues, loss of revenue and loss of sleep! You have 20 different problems in a giant ball that needs untangling. Let's chat, this is what I do!

💎 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀: Need help communicating your strategic direction to your CEO and implementing changes without causing waves? Or do you need a strategic adviser (who has also been a Board Member and is experienced in Governance) to help you work out the best future path for the organisation, then help communicate this to the CEO and get buy-in?

💎 𝗖𝗘𝗢𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀: Need a Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel but don't have the budget to hire one full-time? Need help solving specific problems and implementing solutions? Or need a strategic analysis of your organisation to work out the cause of your problem(s), then help fix them?

💎 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗹: Having problems within your Legal Division or with internal relationships in your organisation? Fixing these is a speciality of mine. Need extra senior resources on a flexible plug-and-play basis? Need a Senior Strategic Adviser to carry out a discrete legal or compliance project for your Division or the organisation as a whole?

💎 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀: Need help restructuring your Division, putting in place policies and procedures, implementing compliance, streamlining processes, or help putting in place tighter workflows with other Divisions (then documenting those workflows in diagram form)?

I use my combined strategic advisory, management consultancy and legal skills to help you to:

🔹Carry out major projects
🔹Manage and mitigate risk
🔹Improve your business
🔹provide strategic legal advice
🔹provide strategic procurement advice and draft procurement documents
🔹Make your processes more efficient and aligned with best industry practice
🔹Resolve Business Challenges
🔹Ensure compliance with relevant laws
🔹Draft policies and procedures 
🔹Deal with governance issues
🔹Improve cross-functional dynamics
🔹Improve your bottom line

🛩️ "This Hangar is KILLING me! "  That used to run through my thoughts when I was breathing in sealant and resin fumes, or trying to drill off a rivet from a A320 or 737  tail leading edge while freezing cold!

At Sustainable Fitness we have been helping hundreds of the best Aircraft Technicians / Engineers/ Managers lose weight, build muscle & increase energy.

Imagine yourself with more confidence, energy & focus watching your career, social, and family life 'take off' as a result of feeling like yourself again. 

I've noticed a pattern of why most Aviation workers can't lose weight in a sustainable way and I've distilled it down to 3 key problems:

🍪PROBLEM #1. Cookie cutter plans - You follow someone else's plan or diet and hope to expect the same result.

🍺 What you actually need is a plan customised to your body and lifestyle. Something you enjoy, beer and chocolate included. We work hard, we need something to look forward to. 

⚙️PROBLEM #2. Systems — No systems in place.  A safe aircraft runs on systems. The same goes for your body. Systems = Safety

📊The process of getting your body back into shape is about automating the habits needed to get your body lean & energetic. 

No systems = having to think about your diet and workouts all the time.

Your diet and fitness routine should compliment your life, NOT COMPLICATE IT. 

This results in your spinning your wheels getting frustrated with the process and eventually giving up.

🍫PROBLEM #3. Too much focus on losing weight. Not enough on sustainability

Why lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks if you just put it back on?

The goal is to NEVER WORRY or think about having an unhealthy body for the rest of your life.

But you can't be doing that if you're just thinking about doing things only to lose weight and not enough on your lifestyle.

Most people who try to lose weight do unsustainable things to lose a couple pounds on the scale only to be disappointed when they're back where they started.

🪀 This results in a yo yo cycle of weight loss and weight gain until they give up

Now, if you're facing any of these problems like I used to, I have a good news! These are completely avoidable and reversible if you just follow the right process.
