Three worlds. One mission.
Everything I build comes back to the same question: how do you end up doing work, or leading a team, or running a business, that actually suits who you are instead of who you're pretending to be? The HAPPY People Project is the philosophy underneath it. CareerFit, Talent Select, and Successful Succession are how it shows up for three different audiences.
HAPPY People Project
The framework and the philosophy that everything else is built on. HAPPY (Highlights, Appreciation, Progress, People, Your Contribution) helps people reverse-engineer the life they actually want into steps they can take today. The HAPPY Work Life MAP is the flagship half-day workshop that turns the framework into a Measurable Action Plan, including a version built specifically for entrepreneurs and leaders. It's also the thinking behind the books.

CareerFit
Stop doing a job you hate without blowing up your life. CareerFit is a psychometric career assessment platform, built on my father's decades of occupational psychology work and rebuilt by me for career changers and schools. Alongside the Finding Your IDEAL Career framework, it gives people a way forward.
- Clarity on values, strengths, and career direction
- A practical plan to transition without burning bridges
- Tools to stay resilient through the change
Talent Select
Hire the right people without first hiring the wrong ones. Most hiring decisions in SMEs are made on gut feel, a CV, and an unstructured interview - among the weakest predictors of actual job performance. Talent Select combines role-specific psychometric profiling with a structured process.
- Fewer costly hiring mistakes
- High-trust teams, built faster
- Decisions made on data and conversation, not gut feel
Successful Succession
Build a killer family business without killing your family. I grew up in two family businesses, bought both from my parents, and nearly walked away from one. Successful Succession is what I built from figuring out how to make it work instead - focused on the part most often missed: not the legal or financial planning, but the human and relational dynamics between generations.
- Navigate succession with clarity and care
- Balance family dynamics with business governance
- Plan for the future without tearing the family apart
The Leadership Profile
Leadership runs through all three worlds. The Leadership Profile, a tool I built from occupational psychology research, helps individuals understand how they lead, helps organisations identify and develop future leaders, and helps family businesses plan who leads next. It's the thread that connects everything above.
- An eight-style model rooted in occupational psychology
- For individuals, organisations, and family businesses
- The connective tissue across every offering
