    A little about me

    I’m James. I’ve built, scaled and sold an education company, led business development in SaaS, and spent more than a decade teaching and training. That experience shapes how I work: getting into the substance, asking useful questions and helping people see what matters.

    Having lived in South Africa, Antigua, the US, Canada and Austria, I bring a broad perspective and a real interest in how others see the world. Whether I’m coaching someone or hosting a room, I love helping people feel comfortable, get involved and shine.

    What it’s like to work together
