A little bit about us and why we love what we do...

From a very young age, I have been fascinated with the mysteries of ‘Life’ and its unique abilities to create, solve problems and evolve. I was always naturally inquisitive and sought to understand how things worked around me.

That fascination with Life and the ‘micro-world’ led me to study biology and then undertake a PhD. in Molecular Genetics & Cell Biology. Eventually, this led me to pursue a career in cancer research and neuroscience, to better understand the connections between external and internal influences in the context of health and disease.

From my scientific training, I learned to understand how changes in the external environment influences the internal one by exploring different perspectives and looking for cause and effect relationships.

Ultimately this allowed me to develop an uncanny ability to see things most people don’t and 'connect the dots' to make sense of the world and what’s happening behind the scene.

Despite my love of science, I found myself continuously frustrated with the rigidity of the academic system that was gradually starting to stifle my creative spirit. Research funding imperative, bureaucracy and politics were restricting my exploration and freedom of thinking. Gradually, I became more and more disengaged with my work. I felt stuck, underutilised, and my opinion didn’t really matter.

The lack of fulfilment was crying out loud that it was time to change something… That was a turning point in my life and my career path. I made a commitment to myself to find a career path that would allow me to fully express my potential.

I put an end to my academic career and left behind the security and ‘prestige’ to start my entrepreneurial journey. That was scary to embark into the unknown, a steep learning curve and a change in mindset, however, I knew deep down I made the right choice because I was born for more.

To relaunch myself, I studied extensively human potential, the universal laws and their application to human behaviour, leadership and business and I sought out the guidance and support of mentors, advisers and coaches along my journey.

Integrating my own personal experience and the insights gathered from working with clients from around the globe, Marcia and I gradually developed our signature coaching program Clear Path Forward®— a 10-Week Roadmap to Influence & Impact—to empower high-achieving professionals and emerging leaders in the Tech & Finances to break through to the next level of their career and life. 

Since leaving academia and launching Mastery to Success Pty Ltd in 2009, I haven't looked back!

I am on a mission to guide, empower and support high-achieving professionals to unlock their unique leadership and create more influence, impact and income within a career path designed around their unique gifts, skills and talents.
