He has studied and applied neuroscience, communication and learning sciences in healthcare, academic, corporate, ‘start-up’ and ‘step-up’ enterprises, as well as third sector environments, for over 25 years.
Iain works regularly with high performing individuals and L&D and R&D teams, with diverse clients from Paralympians and Olympians to the forces, BBC, STEM, national government offices, corporates, to education and social transformation groups.
Whenever Iain gets a chance you will find him enjoying and protecting the natural world ideally whilst surfing, climbing or scuba diving.

“Iain is a superb coach. We have been working together for nearly a year and his insightful, challenging and supportive questioning has been key to unlocking several issues for me. Iain’s deep learning in neuroscience informs his approach, but, at heart, he is all about people and progress – his help in finding options and solutions is what makes the difference. He’s also a great bloke!”

David Brambell

Training Style:
Curious, Dynamic, Collaborative
Iain’s training style draws on years of being a showman and presenter in incredibly diverse settings from stage to boardroom, workshops, studios, to schools to the street and for the BBC TV Human Mind outreach programmes. Iain is perhaps best described as a natural ‘communicator’ and ‘influencer’ who is energised by diverse peoples – speaking with, and learning from, people at a 1:1 to 1:1000s level.
Iain is forever curious, inspiring and encouraging others to be so too. Iain is often referred to as a Sherpa of learning and development. He is particularly skilled at producing, curating, facilitating and leading creative learning journeys with his clients. He skilfully utilises his prodigious science of learning and communication experience to identify and meet his clients learning needs. His adaptive, client-centred and warm, often playful, approach both supports and challenges clients to deliver powerful and meaningful insights and outcomes.
