ULTIMATE LIFE SUCCESS ENCOMPASSES MORE THAN JUST PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
After more than 20 years working with individuals and organisations across behaviour change, high performance, and people operations, I recognised a clear need for a practical, science- and evidence-backed tool — one that enables individuals to optimise and expand every aspect of their lives, enhancing their potential, wellbeing, and leadership.
With a background in elite sport and qualifications in Exercise Science, Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Neurolinguistic Programming, Human Resources, Leadership, Mindfulness, and Health and Wellbeing Coaching, I’ve drawn on both research and real-world experience to create a tool that powers human sustainability and strengthens personal agency.
The Whole Life Success Planner and My Best Life Planner for Kids are grounded in three essential disciplines:
-
BRAIN Science: Grounded in principles from neuroscience, positive psychology, emotional intelligence, belief systems, cognitive processing, threat responses, and cultural conditioning, this pillar enhances mental clarity, emotional regulation, and cognitive flexibility—critical foundations for personal effectiveness and resilience.
-
BODY Science: Informed by advanced understanding of human biology—including cellular health, biochemistry, hormonal function, metabolic regulation, physiological systems, digestive processes, and detoxification pathways—this pillar supports physical vitality and sustainable performance.
-
BEHAVIOURAL Science: Drawing from evidence-based strategies in nutrition, physical activity, routine design, mindfulness, self-care, and character development, this pillar enables individuals to build constructive habits, improve self-discipline, and achieve long-term behavioural change.
The Whole Life Success Planner is a powerful tool for everyday behaviour optimisation—reducing stress, strengthening personal agency, and advancing health, wellbeing, and performance. It also enables extraordinary leadership at home, at work, and in the community.

THE WINNING FORMULA - The 4Cs Methodology™
CLARITY
Neorcortex
When you're clear you take intentional and successful action. When you're not, you wait.
This planner activates your Neocortex and Pre-Frontal Cortex.
This is the part of the brain responsible for goal setting and decision making, and allows us as humans to live with conscious awareness, forward planning, emotional and social intelligence, judgement, willpower, creativity and logic.
CONVICTION
Limbic System
You learn to regulate the Limbic Brain and Amygdala.
For many people, the Amygdala is on high alert all the time, leading to feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. Potential thus hindered.
The Amygdala activates the stress response (fight, flight or fright mode), which not only depletes your physical vitality, it interrupts the action centres of the brain and sends us back into auto-pilot and self-sabotage.
The Whole Life Success Planner enables you to shift the habits, beliefs and opinions that you've hoarded for a lifetime.
CONSISTENCY
Cerebellum
We’re usually distracted, reactive and over 95% on autopilot, repeating more of the same.
The Whole Life Success Planner changes that with individualised transition strategies and pattern interrupts.
It transforms complexity into simple frameworks to integrate sustainably.
CHARGE
Anterior Cingulate Cortex
The Whole Life Success Planner will raise your personal integrity and self-discipline one day at a time.
You develop a bias for committed, focussed, intentional and purposeful action, whilst keeping energy high
