The reason I do this
I was the person
in the room who
couldn't slow down.
"I came home to my son, running to make bedtime. He looked at me and said — 'We don't need you here. Dad does stories.' I stood there sweating, with money in the bank, and realised: none of it means anything."
Twenty years in banking, finance, and government. User experience research with hundreds of participants. A lifetime of meditation that somehow never made it into the workday.
When burnout finally took me out, I didn't come back to corporate. I came back for corporate — to be on the other side. To give the person I was what I wish I'd had.
I speak the language of KPIs, stakeholders, and packed calendars. And I know exactly how to make stillness feel safe inside that world.
