As we navigate uncertainty and change, choosing your Mindset is not optional, it’s essential.
“Without mindset, most goals fail. Research shows 92% of people never achieve the goals they set. Not because the goal was too ambitious, but because their mindset faltered under pressure.”
FORBES
When change accelerates and uncertainty grows, I inspire leaders and teams to strengthen their mindset, to see disruption as opportunity, and to turn pressure into bold action.
The Big Bold Mindset keynote takes people from:
Feeling stuck, to seeing bigger possibilities
Struggling with trust, to building unshakeable alignment
Operating in silos, to achieving bold goals together
Some leaders step into disruption with energy and clarity.
Others shrink back. Some teams pull together and thrive. Others fracture.
The difference between those who achieve extraordinary results, and those who don’t?
It’s their Mindset.
My talks and masterclasses take you on a unique story-led journey where I share insights and ideas on turning the impossible into the possible.
Your audience will leave inspired, with powerful mindset tools and ideas they can use immediately to achieve their Big Bold Goals.

From Scaling Businesses to Sailing The World: Mindset Changes Everything
I know what it takes to chase results in high-pressure environments. Like many people, I’ve spent years working on ambitious goals, and focusing on leadership and high-performance teamwork (more on my bio page). I know what it takes to build success. I also know the pressure, overwhelm, self doubt, uncertainty, and exhaustion that all too often comes with it.
The biggest breakthrough in my life didn’t come from a spreadsheet or a boardroom, but from a bold decision: to sail around the world with my wife and three young children. It wasn’t an escape. It was the ultimate test of mindset, resilience, leadership, and teamwork. Storms, breakdowns, and 32,000 miles at sea taught me something I’d never learned in the working world: mindset is what makes the difference between success and failure.
The same is true in business. When the pressure is on, when resources are stretched, and emotions fray, it’s not the plan that gets you through. It’s the mindset you bring to it.
Today, when I’m working with leaders and their teams, my message is clear: your mindset, the one you bring to every challenge is the single biggest factor in achieving your goals.
Strategy sets the direction. Mindset determines whether you get there.

Why Big Bold Goals and Why Now?
The pace of change will never be this slow again. McKinsey said that in 2023, and the pace of change continues to accelerate at a dizzying pace.
The rules of the game have changed and I think that far too many organisations are still trying to navigate a new world using an outdated set of charts.
I think those charts start with thinking Bigger and Bolder than ever before.
There is magic that happens when we set Big Bold Goals.
Magic because Big Bold Goals stretch what we believe is possible.
When we set Big Bold Goals, we also build a plan grounded in reality to achieve it. Goals like ‘5x or 10x’ not only engage and focus a team, they force us to get creative and innovate in ways we may not have otherwise considered.
My obsession is with the mindset needed to achieve Big Bold Goals, which in turn impacts the leadership and teamwork we need to navigate the future. This means understanding how to go far together as a team.
I understand, firsthand, the importance of putting people first in order to achieve the things most people dismiss as being impossible. I understand this because I’ve made every mistake in the book on the way to achieving a number of big bold goals. I speak from lived experience.
I’m invited to be a regular speaker at corporate events and conferences around the world both in person and virtually. I leave audiences feeling energised, and with powerful takeaways that they can use immediately
My mindset obsession has taken me on a journey to research, study, interview, and learn from the most successful and audacious leaders on the planet, and the latest science and psychology that explains audacious leadership. These are ideas I research continuously and share via the Big Bold Ideas Lab.
Success leaves clues and it's the patterns and observations I’ve found together with my own lived experiences that I will bring to your audience.
