For years, I've been captivated by the concept of the 'deep life,' first contemplated by the Ancient Greeks two thousand years ago. However, it was the impact of the pandemic in 2020 that saw many people stop and reflect, reevaluating their lives to recognise what truly matters most.

This inspired me to develop a philosophy built on intention, balance, and cultivation.

• Intention - a thing intended; an aim, plan or purpose.

• Balance - a state of equilibrium; harmony in the parts of a whole.

• Cultivation - the process of trying to acquire or develop a quality or skill.

Driven by the belief that these three foundations can construct a fulfilling life, I founded Deep Life Journey in 2022. This initiative, influenced by my professional journey spanning over 25 years, aims to inspire a deeper, intentional life through my coaching, writing, and photography. I offer a limited number of 1-on-1 private coaching sessions, and each week, I share insights in my newsletter, Deep Life Reflections, as well as contribute regularly to Arabian Business Magazine. I love words and their transformative power

Over nearly two decades at Dell Technologies, I held senior global roles, encompassing strategy, leadership, and communications. Serving as Chief of Staff, I provided counsel on a business that extended across more than 170 countries. I was also involved in initiatives like Digital Futures, encouraging students in the UAE to explore careers in technology, as well as sharing career advice and promoting health and wellbeing.

Sport has always been a source of inspiration for me—my grandfather was a professional footballer for Leicester City. As an ambassador for ASICS, I'm passionate about promoting a sound mind in a sound body.

Photography is another passion. I try to showcase the uniqueness and possibilities of our planet and its people, with over 50 portfolios from more than 30 countries and 65 cities. Photography opens the door to the deep life by helping people reflect on who they are, how they got here, and where they want to go.

Join me on a journey of transformation towards living a Deep Life.
