As a consultant & academic, my research focuses on the role of physiology in shaping our behaviour across fields as diverse as politics, finance, leadership & fitness. As an award-winning writer, you will find many of my books in the libraries of leading universities around the world. 

​

I continue to apply my physiology knowledge in the field as a personal trainer & Pilates coach (a lifelong passion for me). I also manage a Psychology Today (Politics Animals & Animal Spirits) blog & I am the Research Officer for British Mensa, where I focus on high-IQ related research.​ Formerly the General Secretary of the 70-nation International Federation of American Football (IFAF) I am well versed in the complexities of leadership & management at a very senior level. I earned my (leadership-focused) PhD from Loughborough University in 2006.​​
