I went from a childhood as an undiagnosed dyslexic, having been written-off, to becoming an award-winning inventor and securing investment in the BBC’s Dragons’ Den for my homemade inventions.
My story is one which has been experienced by many successful entrepreneurs and Chief Executives, the majority of whom have a hidden superpower: they are neurodivergent; their autism, ADHD or dyslexia, far from being a weakness, is the key to their success.
Having won investment in BBC’s Dragons’ Den for my innovative range of pet products, I set myself the goal to produce the business workshops which would allow neurodiverse audiences to master the skills I had learnt in my journey.
Having been a professional trainer, psychologist and a stand-up comedian, I combined my skills to produce the unique presentations, team games and skills training I wish I could have gone to when I started my business journey.
Using unique blend of business models and personal range of dynamic team games, psychology and stage magic I deliver not just a valuable and insightful experience, but a life changing and memorable performance, showing how simple and understandable patterns form the complex world around us is, and exploring where the true opportunities in our lives and businesses really are.
I’ve been to classrooms helping children choose their life pathway, to business leaders’ boardrooms, explaining why most of the stuff they’ve been told is incomplete. I’ve mentored many new entrepreneurs – the world is not as scary or confusing as it sometimes appears.
Based in the West-Midlands, when I’m not writing and delivering workshops, I’m trekking, camping and kayaking. I haven’t yet delivered a workshop on the beach but it’s on my bucket list.
