I left school after my 'A' Levels as I was about to marry and needed a job. I chose to join the
financial services industry and spent 22 years in it. Initially, I worked as an underwriter for a motor insurer. But, after 2 years, I realised this wasn’t for me.
Thankfully, I discovered the investment advisory services side of the business. This led
me to joining a mutual fund manager and with their help I eventually became a Chartered
Financial Planner. This allowed me to join a small boutique firm of independent financial
advisers serving corporate and high net worth clients.
In the late 80”s I was recruited to help a major UK bank set up a new investment advisory
business. I stayed with them throughout the 90’s and was fortunate enough to work in a
variety of different divisions and privileged to lead a variety of regional, national and
international teams.
Along the way I discovered the rewards of helping others achieve challenging things so I
switched careers again and joined the Learning & Development industry. For the past 20
years I have been facilitating leadership development workshops for large multi-national
clients across South East Asia.
Having reached 60 I’m moving on again for the 3rd and final phase of life. This will see me
fusing the previous 2 phases together and to design, develop and deliver experiential events that will help ‘kids of all ages’ transition through the various phases of their life so that they can not only be the best version of themselves as they can be but also create a lasting and inspiring legacy for them and their future generations.
As a result, I’m as stimulated and excited about work as I was on my 1st day in 1978.
