for teamwork, leadership and communication

I didn't get trained to lead people. I got handed them.

I started at SwimTech teaching kids to swim and working reception. I got promoted because I was useful, not because anyone showed me how to manage a team, have a hard conversation, or build something that didn't fall apart the day I stepped out of the room. I figured most of it out the hard way: getting it wrong first, then keeping what actually worked.

Years later, I'm the COO. We've gone from 600 kids and 30 staff to over 2,000 kids and 100+ people. I've hired more than 200 of them, and spent 1,000+ hours running workshops and leadership programs. at work, and in youth leadership programs like Rotary.

That's the work I teach here. Not theory, not MBA frameworks, the practical, repeatable stuff I use with my own team and the young leaders I mentor. Same skill, different rooms.

I think leading people comes down to three things done well: communication, understanding, and a bit of kindness. Everything I share runs through that.
