High Magick X Systems | I see & remove blocks you don't know exist, but feel - without Zoom, phone calls or being in the same room | Change Mentor for Executives & Founders who want to live with more depth & die happy

Most of the decisions you regret weren’t “bad decisions”.

They were built on values you never defined properly.

It’s why you stay in roles, relationships and versions of you that look fine on paper but wrong in your body.

You didn't just end up there - you unknowingly decided your way into them.

Because each choice you make sits on top of values that collapse the moment people, money or pressure push back.

In The Obsidian Vault, we cut through all of it so your tough decisions feel simple to make:

We'll break down: 
- What’s really happening.
- What you’re actually loyal to and why it matters.
- What it will cost to keep things as they are.

That’s how you stop making decisions you regret and build a life you don't.

You'll see clearly, decide cleanly, and live closer to what you truly value with each choice you make.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫
 -You’re smart, capable & deeply responsible, but privately exhausted
 -You’re dragging unfinished conversations, roles or relationships behind you
 -You’re standing in a life that looks fine on paper & wrong in your body
 -You’re value driven, but feel a constant gap between what you stand for vs what you tolerate.

More insights, healing or content won’t change that. This is the lever:

Language, structure and perspective that makes it harder to lie to yourself.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐚𝐦
I’ve walked parallel paths since I was 19, when I quit uni to build a 25 year career with the likes of Goldman Sachs, UBS, HSBC, Barclays and others.

I set up my first business alongside my first job, went on to build two jewellery brands, a business transformation consultancy, and a private practice working with 600+ founders and executives through High Magick.

All while navigating Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (c-PTSD)

Tough calls come with that territory, and often arrive all at once. But that wasn’t new to me.

Aged eight, I became a carer for my disabled aunt. It was violent and turbulent.

I had a front row seat to what happens when loved ones refuse to make obvious decisions, what it costs them, and me.

It taught me something most miss:

Your best decisions are made when you can be a bystander in your own life at the right moment - then move swiftly.

That’s tough for most people.

Master it, and you solve problems before they can even exist - just like I, and 600+ executives and founders have.

Through real-life (anonymised) examples from their sessions and my own life, I explain how.

When you need to stop making decisions you regret and build a life you don't, welcome.

Sales and Marketing Consultant

Helping leaders of Consulting Firms develop their teams. Training courses & our Consulting Skill Accelerator, delivered by a community of expert consultants.

Hi, I'm Deri. I help consulting team leaders develop exceptional teams. 

I founded Honeycomb Consulting Skills Training in 2018. Our experienced consultants train people in consulting skills, delivering our proprietary courses live and virtually. We're proud that all our clients re-engage us for future cohorts of learners, and that the learners themselves consistently rate us 9+ out of 10.

We help those who are new to consulting (including service leavers) through to Managers and Partners who are learning how to manage teams better and grow their business. We also have a toolkit of operational best practices for growing consulting firms.

I'm ex-Bain, ex-independent consultant, and ex-CFOO of Credo Business Consulting, with a long-since lapsed DPhil in Organic Chemistry, and I also used to play a bit of rugby. Today I'm a father of four (fact: twins are awesome), oversized-dog owner, and a part-time powerlifter and competitive strongman.

I'm a passionate advocate for flexible working and the benefits it brings in productivity, work enjoyment, and sustainability. I'm also likely, if triggered, to try and convince you that you need to squat heavy, worry less, and trust people more.
