READ MY STORY
My Special Sauce in the corporate world is the combination of the knowledge and skills of a great alcohol-freedom coach and a deep and well-researched understanding of the impact that alcohol is having on businesses, both financially and in human terms.
How I am qualified to help you ...
My interest in the impact of alcohol on businesses was piqued by the fact that I knew that my boozing had made me a less than productive employee. Once I started to research the area, I realised that this problem was widespread, and very much a taboo subject. It wasn’t being talked about and it wasn’t being written about. I’m on a mission to change that, and luckily I found a publisher who shared my enthusiasm. The research I conducted for the book has given me a unique insight into how alcohol is harming businesses, and what can be done to change that. This informs the work that I do with individual businesses.
I host a weekly podcast, The Alcohol Debate, in which I interview experts about the impact of alcohol on our lives and society. The podcast is informative but not judgemental, separating myth from reality and coming up with some surprising facts and stats along the way.
I have undergone rigorous, specialized coach training, supplemented by further individual study, which means that I have a very deep understanding of the science, biology and psychology of alcohol and alcohol addiction.
I am dual certified as a Coach, as a Senior This Naked Mind Coach and as a Grey Area Drinking Coach with Jolene Park. This allows me to use the ground-breaking methodologies and a wide range of tactics that have been proven to help people struggling to control alcohol.

HOW I CAN HELP:
Awareness & Education
I offer tailor-made conference speeches, talks and seminars designed to raise awareness of some of the myths around alcohol (like that it helps us unwind). Using my own story as a ‘cautionary tale’ and an example of ‘this can happen to anyone’, the aim is to give people enough information early on in their drinking career, so that it prevents them from getting into difficulty with booze…forewarned is forearmed!
Take a Break Challenges
Many organisations like to run their own versions of a Dry January or 30-day challenge, often raising money for charity. I support these with daily videos, workbooks and regular live coaching. The focus is on exploring how good life can feel without booze, rather than on willpower.
Culture Assessment & Change
I have developed a free online assessment tool which you can use to determine how alcohol-centric your culture is. I can add nuance to the findings by conducting staff surveys and interviews, before working with you to develop and communicate an improvement plan.
Coaching
For any employees who find the 30-day challenge hard, or who already know they have a problem with alcohol, some one-on-one coaching will help them turn things around before the problems multiply.

The Book
It may not appear on the balance sheet, but the loss of productivity and the human suffering that it causes mean leaders can't afford to ignore this elephant in the boardroom.
