In simple terms, I’m passionate about small businesses or, as I call them, ACORN businesses. Why an acorn? Because inside its hard shell, every acorn holds a seed with the potential to grow into a full oak tree. When the conditions are right, it simply breaks free and begins its journey... are you ready to begin yours? I've had some big failures but, over more than 30 years, I’ve also established successful enterprises and spent many years helping other people unlock their hidden potential by focusing on key business systems and building strong teams. My concern is that so many people run their businesses like the jobs they gave up in the first place. This led me to create First On The Beach, to help owners build businesses that can run without them – leaving them to spend more time on the best "beaches", or whatever else they dream of doing, and have worked so hard to achieve. I’ve also held senior corporate roles in retail and manufacturing. In recent times, I’ve developed a digital media network, online loyalty and rewards programs and, currently, I’m growing a web development and marketing company. When I’m not working on the business or helping other business owners, you’ll find me dressed as a lion in support of my Saving Leo project – raising funds to help save endangered animals around the world. As a versatile public speaker, trainer and facilitator, my presentations are highly entertaining (it’s my Tasmanian sense of humour), and always thought provoking. The material I present is relevant and is delivered in a way that makes it easy to apply back in your business. Some Key Highlights > I started out in banking, including international postings to the UK > At the time, I was the youngest person appointed to the Bank’s fast-track Cadet Program > In my mid-20s I defied the critics and, with no experience but with lots of ideas and a solid understanding of business systems, I gave up a secure and promising career to open a highly successful retail business > I then developed Priority Management Systems, a training and personal development franchise > Through workshops and one-on-one coaching I’ve trained literally thousands of people in ‘essential management skills’ – or the art of being not only efficient but also highly effective at what they do > Awarded National Trainer of the Year > Chaired and developed the Local Business Awards program over five years > Over 30 years I’ve consulted to a wide range of businesses about how to unlock their hidden potential – including strategic planning, sales, marketing, systems development and training

My life is a story about how my frustration with the education of my children led to my latent discovery of my passions. This led to mentoring on hackathons and guiding startups on technology. Also started an incubator to accelerate the adoption of 3dprinting among companies, innovators and entrepreneurs. I talk about the state of technology and how a lot of the solutions for our problems are ready, but we have to change culturally to accept these changes. And the challenge of what you should teach your children in an ever-changing world, where 65% of the jobs our children will do, do not exist yet.

I'm an educator who is very passionate about helping people master finance easily. As an adjunct professor at the National University of Singapore and the founder of Financial Storytelling, I have dedicated my life to making finance simple, easy, and enjoyable for non-financial people. With my professional training as a chartered accountant and experience as a former regional finance head of a US Fortune 500 company, I am confident in my expertise in the field. What truly sets me apart is my love for storytelling. A Distinguished Toastmaster, I weave together engaging narratives with complex financial concepts, bringing finance to life for my learners. I'm currently working on my upcoming book, "Financial Storytelling: Once Upon a Balance Sheet," which is poised to revolutionize the way people think about finance. One thing that really bothers me is how unnecessarily complicated finance can be. I believe that everyone should have access to financial education, no matter their background or prior knowledge. That's why I write my book in a style that's accessible to all, breaking down complex jargon and making finance a topic that anyone can understand. With me as your speaker, trainer, and coach, your audience will unlock endless opportunities to make informed decisions and build a brighter financial future for their professional career and business. I can help you answer three top questions: 1. How can I leverage financial statements to achieve optimal control and growth for my business? 2. What are the critical financial metrics that enable effective management and optimization of my business? 3. How can I craft a compelling narrative using financial data to bolster my proposals and gain support for my ideas?
