I’m IAN
Executive Coach, Mentor & Consultant
I have done a lot in my life; I’ve set up a number of businesses, some successful, some… not so much. Lucky, then, that they say you learn more from your mistakes – this learning has been enriching for me, and I hope will be enriching for you too. Life has plenty of room for both failure and success, and we have much to gain from both.
From my early days as a primary school teacher, to my work with business leaders today, my passion has always been to help people get more from themselves.
I don’t put a lot of emphasis on qualifications; but if you do, here are mine.

- Bachelor’s Degree (with Honours in the First Class) in Education
- Currently studying for my Master’s in Business Administration (MBA)
- Member of the International Association of Professional Writers & Editors
