My books sit across leadership, systems, and modern life. Some are practical, some reflective, and some deliberately uncomfortable. What links them is a focus on lived experience rather than abstract theory, and a concern for the human impact of the systems we build.

I do not write to provide easy answers. I write to slow thinking down, surface hidden assumptions, and ask better questions about how we live and work.

The Sixty-Year Project explores how everyday life, identity, leadership, and culture have shifted over the last six decades. It looks at what has been gained, what has been lost, and what we rarely stop to question. Rather than nostalgia or blame, the book takes a reflective approach. It examines how systems such as education, technology, work, consumerism, and media have reshaped how we think, behave, and relate to one another. Many of these changes arrived gradually, without debate, until they became normal. This book is written for readers who feel something has shifted but struggle to name it. It invites pause rather than outrage, and understanding rather than division.

Written for:
Readers interested in culture, identity, generational change, and modern life
Tone:
Reflective, honest, accessible
Focus:
What progress really costs, and who carries it

The Leadership Discussion is a book about how leadership is actually experienced, not how it is usually described. It moves away from models, slogans, and heroic narratives, and instead focuses on the everyday reality of leading people, making decisions, and carrying responsibility over time. The book is built around lived experience rather than instruction. It explores what leaders face when certainty is unavailable, when trade-offs are unavoidable, and when showing up matters more than saying the right thing. Rather than offering a new framework to follow, it invites readers into an honest conversation about judgement, pressure, failure, and growth. At its core, this book argues that leadership is less about control and confidence, and more about presence, consistency, and respect. It looks at how good leadership is shaped through experience, reflection, and dialogue, not through performance or perfection. This is not a book for people looking for shortcuts or scripts. It is written for those who already carry responsibility and want language for what they feel but rarely see written down.

Written for:
Leaders, managers, and those stepping into responsibility

Tone:
Conversational, reflective, experience-led

Focus:
Judgement, presence, capability, and leadership as lived practice

Rise Above the Waste, Reach Beyond the Data is a practical and reflective book about improvement, performance, and decision-making in complex service environments. It challenges the growing belief that better data automatically leads to better outcomes. Built on real-world experience, the book explores how organisations become trapped by metrics, dashboards, and process compliance, while missing the human and systemic causes of underperformance. It argues that data should inform judgement, not replace it, and that waste often survives because it sits between teams, roles, and responsibilities. Rather than offering another technical toolkit, the book focuses on how improvement actually happens when people understand their system, their customers, and their own constraints. It brings attention back to purpose, flow, capability, and impact, particularly in environments where complexity cannot be simplified away. This book is written for practitioners who feel the tension between what the numbers say and what reality shows them every day.

Written for:
Improvement practitioners, leaders, analysts, and service organisations

Tone:
Grounded, practical, experience-led

Focus:
Waste, decision quality, system thinking, and impact beyond metrics

Why constant activity is mistaken for progress

Busy Being Busy explores the modern obsession with busyness and why it has become a badge of worth rather than a warning sign. It looks at how activity is rewarded, visible effort is praised, and genuine effectiveness is quietly overlooked. Drawing on observation, lived experience, and cultural reflection, the book examines how work and personal life have both absorbed the language of productivity, while meaning, focus, and depth have been eroded. It questions why being exhausted is often admired, why stillness feels uncomfortable, and how distraction has been normalised as engagement. Rather than offering productivity hacks or time management tricks, this book asks harder questions about value, attention, and intention. It explores what we are really busy with, what we are avoiding, and what is lost when movement replaces progress. Busy Being Busy is written for readers who feel permanently occupied yet oddly unfulfilled, and who suspect that being busy is not the same as living well or working effectively.

Written for:
Professionals, leaders, and readers questioning modern work and life

Tone:
Reflective, honest, quietly challenging

Focus:
Busyness, attention, false productivity, and meaningful progress

Impact Before Method challenges the way change, improvement, and transformation are commonly approached. Built on years of practical experience, the book questions the belief that applying the right framework automatically leads to better outcomes. Rather than rejecting methods outright, it asks a more difficult question: when do methods help, and when do they become the problem? The book explores how well-intended programmes often overlook context, behaviour, and human reality, leading to delivery without lasting impact. This is not a technical manual. It is a practical, experience-led guide for leaders, practitioners, and decision-makers who are tired of change that looks successful on paper but feels hollow in practice.

Written for:
Leaders, practitioners, boards, and transformation professionals
Tone:
Direct, grounded, experience-led
Focus:
Human impact, decision quality, and delivery that actually lands

A reflection on how modern life quietly changed

Why leadership needs fewer answers and better conversations

Why improvement fails when data replaces judgement

Why change fails when method comes first

Why early decisions shape everything that follows

Impact Impact 360: Decisions Before Growth, Purpose Before Scale is written for small business owners and founders standing at the point where momentum starts to build, but clarity has not yet caught up. It focuses on the decisions that quietly lock businesses into future paths long before scale, investment, or complexity arrive. Drawing on experience rather than start-up mythology, the book challenges the idea that growth should always be the goal. Instead, it asks harder questions about purpose, capacity, cash, credibility, and personal cost. It explores how early choices around customers, pricing, systems, and workload often determine whether growth becomes freedom or constraint. This book does not promise shortcuts or rapid scaling formulas. It offers judgement-led thinking for founders who want their business to work in real life, not just look good on paper. It encourages readers to slow down at the right moments, make decisions consciously, and build something they can sustain. Decisions Before Growth, Purpose Before Scale is part of the Impact 360 series, bringing the same experience-led thinking into the realities of small business and founder-led environments.

Written for:
Small business owners, founders, and early-stage leaders

Tone:
Practical, grounded, quietly challenging

Focus:
Decision quality, purpose, sustainability, and growth with intent
