As the founder of Achology and a former HMR Engineer, I have leveraged my expertise in business, community leadership and strategic planning since 1996. After retiring from the military in 2005, I redirected my focus to studying the various applications of modern psychology for practical use and fostering positive social change via social entrepreneurship.
I began teaching the applications of psychological wisdom in 2014. Prior to entering the education field, I spent several years leading mentorship groups for ex-military veterans. During this period, I offered guidance and community to those transitioning back to civilian life, equipping them with practical psychological tools to help navigate their new environments.
In addition, I led self-improvement workshops across the UK, sharing insights and strategies to promote personal growth and efficiency. This experience in mentorship and public workshops has shaped my approach to teaching. My focus on practical psychology and personal growth has not only defined my career but also impacted the lives of many people.
My work strives to make timeless psychological wisdom readily accessible to all, aiding individuals in understanding principles, strategies and insights that enhance their intrinsic value and ability to make a positive societal impact. In this endeavor, I strive to empower individuals to reach their full potential, promoting profound personal growth and development.
My methods are grounded in real-world applicability, ensuring that learners can integrate the teachings I offer into their lives. Through my courses, my aim continues to empower people with the skills, wisdom and self-knowledge to enhance their personal and professional lives, which hopefully underscores my dedication to making a positive impact in the field of psychology.
In 2017, I launched the Achology Academy with my team, creating a collaborative online learning platform for self-directed learners globally. This platform allows individuals to delve into applied psychology and personal growth, engage in practice sessions, organize training events, and foster a culture of professional excellence among our members, known as Achologists.
In my spare time (when I take it), I enjoy reading, but writing is my true passion. Since 2018, I've had the honor of authoring two international bestsellers: "Responsibility Rebellion: An Unconventional Approach to Personal Empowerment" and "The Ultimate Life Coaching Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide to the Methodology, Principles, and Practice of Life Coaching."
Above all, I am a family man, happily married to Karen, my best friend. In 2023, I became a father to our beautiful daughter, Skye Minah. As a proud Scotsman, I possess a distinctly Scottish sense of humor, but I am equally passionate about contributing to a wiser and more liberated world. I believe that by empowering individuals with psychological wisdom and self-knowledge, we can create a ripple effect of positive change in our communities and beyond.
