The primary goal when I became an independent consultant was to build an international business, develop my own business model, deliver services to executives globally and write and contribute to the global media. Achieved.
The goal is to assist every person on this planet with the ability to develop their inner leader and to live their life through a thought leader lens.
Whether you are a C-level executive, between jobs, a new parent or at any other point in your life, if you want to be a powerful leader, live your best life, you will need to be focused, work hard and continue to refine your goals.
Being a powerful leader, living your best life doesn't just happen - it is hard, ongoing work at every stage of it.
No app or AI gadget is going to do it for you.
We are not given enough (or any) instruction on how to develop the genetics we downloaded. We are often told what to do, but that is not the same. We are often not told how powerful our emotions and mind can be or given tools and skills to manage them. We need to learn how to harness our capacity and develop our own personal development model (PDM). It is assumed by many that we will (should) just know. That approach is not working, and we would be wise to challenge it and change it.
The process in my books can assist you to design a practical step-by-step plan to achieve the above results. When you have taught yourself this process, you can then share it with everyone you know. This is grassroots change. We do it, we master it, we share it. On and on it goes, connecting every generation and culture. It is a wonderful way to live your life. Start today, work hard, and tick your successes off. Be kind to yourself, knowing that it is one step at a time. Keep moving through barriers and acknowledge yourself for having the courage to do so.

You are a leader. As such, you are expected to be perfect, no chinks in your armour, perfect in everything that you do, able to work continuously and not be fatigued, the magician who is able to pull rabbits out of hats time and time again, more powerful than a locomotive and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. So it seems to me that you may well need to fake it until you make it quite often in your leadership role. In Sex in the Boardroom, Merydith Willoughby shares many of her secrets with you. Find out for yourself how you can be a leader who is powerful beyond belief – respected for what you do and not scared to do what you need to do to maintain your power. See how you can take your people and organisation to dizzy heights.
If it's to be: It's up to me
2nd ed., 2022
Paperback & eBook
People are hungry to live a life they love. Quick fixes don’t work. Where do you get honest information that works and can hold them in good stead for their whole life, and which they can pass onto everyone else in their life and around the globe? This book offers them this. It is generational change that is required. You start from the ground up. Doing this could change the very fabric of our lives and help change become second nature to all of us rather than something we avoid because we do not understand it. It would also have a huge impact on society at large and we could start teaching children these concepts from the time they are born and then right throughout their life.
Back from Hell
2nd ed., 2022
Paperback & eBook
We live in a period dominated by a mainstream that disrespect the capacity or even the possibility for the human machine to heal itself. Successive generations have been dumbed down and believe that others know best. We think we must intervene and ply it with something that will fix-it, but we’ve lost sight of what the human machine is capable of when using the right approaches. Unless you have been at the end of the road and come back better than you’d dreamed possible and that this is ongoing, you do not know what is possible. Unless you challenge current thinking and belief and take full responsibility for your health, you do not know what is possible.
Thought Leadership
2020
Paperback & eBook
As I traipse back through the centuries of information available outlining how humans have lived, been managed and controlled, I note with disappointment that while much positive change has occurred, much remains the same. These dominating forces - which are woven into the structure of every society, family, culture and generation, can see those of us who want to make change and understand who we are as a human being in the bigger picture, trip up at every intersection. Thought Leadership proposes how we can break down the layers of dominance that are entrenched in society and become aware of the invisible net that surrounds and controls us throughout every moment of our life. When we do this, we have the best chance of creating a more equitable society, community, family, generation, and individual life. We can then investigate who we really are and allow our true self to evolve. We can learn how to develop our inner leader and learn how to think and behave like a thought leader. The impact on humankind with this approach to living would be phenomenal.
