Hi, I'm Jamie. 

Like everyone else, I wear many hats.  I'm a father of three teenagers, and I absolutely love supporting people to get the most out of themselves.

I hold an advanced certificate in executive coaching along with many other training courses, however I am also a qualified Social Worker.  I have a background of over 16 years in children's social care, with almost 9 years of those as a Social Worker, and manager. 

I've worked with 100s of people who have struggled in their lives in some way shape or form.   I'm a straight-talking coach, kind and empathetic, but not here to be a friend.  I am not a mentor, these means that I do not profess to be an expert in anything, I am however very knowledgeable and skilful in asking powerful questions and provide my clients with the thinking space they need to think something they have never thought before. 

I'm an insightful thinker and am passionate about making the world a better place to live for me and my family.  I would say that being a parent of three children, all of which have entered their teenage years, is where my biggest learning comes from.  Each one unique in style and perspective of the world but also probably my biggest testers at times.  More formally however...
