My Story...

​​​​​

"I've always been passionate about helping people and businesses to be the best that they can be.

 

I started my career in HR, developing the skills to attract, retain and develop top talent. Then I made my first rebellious career move into sales.  

 

Over the next 15 years I thrived in commercial leadership, working with brilliant people. Growing iconic consumer brands. Building a reputation for creativity, bold strategy, and infectious energy. 

 

On paper, it looked like I had it all.

 

But as I turned 40, I realised something important.

 

I’d ticked every box I thought I was meant to tick. And it still wasn’t enough. I loved my role and my team, but something inside was telling me: there's more than this.

 

So I did the scariest thing I’ve ever done. I walked away from a leadership role I loved — with no plan B.

 

I’d worked since I was 14, the last time I took a proper break was to travel for 6 months after finishing uni… and even then I was back in employment a week after my return!

 

Juggling a demanding career whilst raising my young family had left me with very little time to connect to my own wants & needs. I'd achieved all my goals... and stopped dreaming bigger.

​

When I left, I created a complete blank canvas and if I'm honest I panicked.

 

In my commercial roles I was renowned for strategic thinking - yet I had no plan for my own future. For someone motivated by targets and goals, it was extremely disorientating. I'm good at solving problems and had a reputation for creativity, yet I found myself staring at a blank page.

 

Then I made a conscious decision to just let life flow for a bit.​​​

​

Embracing this new found freedom I rediscovered play, I sought out new experiences and I broadened my network. I had no goals, no time limit, no expectations.

 

And slowly, something shifted. The sparks came back. My creativity reignited.

I felt lighter. Happier. More me.

​

Then it dawned on me, we all have huge potential but we're limited by our mindsets and stifled by our environments. Held back by expectations we never chose.

 

Our organisations are crying out for creativity, courage, and bold thinking.
But too many people are operating under stress, playing safe, surrounded by like-minded people who don't challenge our thinking.

​

What the world needs is more rebels.

 

Not someday. Now.

 

That’s why I founded Rebel Spark.

​

To help people believe bigger and achieve more than they ever thought possible.
To unlock creativity.
To uncover their inner rebel.

​

Because when we stop holding back and start playing full out, everything changes."
