From Crisis to Transformation: A Headhunter's Wake-Up Call

18 days ago, my greatest strength nearly killed me. Now I need your help.

I walked into A&E with a suspected heart attack and left with a brutal truth: my body was shutting down because I wouldn't.

After a year of pushing through every crisis, my body finally said 'Enough!' Through a somatic stress response - my mind's ability to handle extreme pressure had become my greatest weakness.

Why am I sharing this? Sometimes, life forces you to be honest about needing help.

For those who don’t know me well, I’ve spent the last 20+ years balancing two demanding careers: I've been the person who makes things happen.

Transforming thousands of professionals' careers (generating over ￡12.5M in combined salary increases) while managing life-or-death decisions in F1 and Rally Control operations, leading teams of up to 750 people.

My emergency response and motorsport background taught me to manage stress exceptionally well—maybe too well. While I kept a calm facade, my business suffered silently. I believed I could handle anything.

But this year has been hell and broke me:

• I lost my mum after 6 months in hospital, spending every day advocating for her care and challenging medical misconduct at the highest levels
• Following her passing, I became immersed in managing a chaotic estate
• During all this and ongoing, I am coordinating my father's terminal cancer care and treatment protocols through endless system failures and outdated local treatment protocols
• Meanwhile, the business I built to support others' success has been falling apart in the background

I've soldiered on, treating each crisis as just another problem to solve—until my health forced a full stop.

Basically, I'm in the shit. And the business is about to fail.

I don't have the luxury of pride anymore. I need your help, and right now.

What I do have is proof that what I offer works:

? 311 five-star reviews (highest-ranked career coach on People Per Hour)

? 60 LinkedIn recommendations from professionals

? Not a single review below 5 stars

? Average client salary increase: ￡15K

P.S. For those enquiring about my LinkedIn mastery course, it's still in development and will be available in January 2025. First, I need to stabilise my core practice and health. The content is written, but the recording was interrupted by Mum's hospitalisation.
