My previous Professional Life

I have over 30 years in the British Police Service and was involved in many investigations of culturally sensitive operations. In addition to police work in the United Kingdom, I also participated in international operations in Sri Lanka, Thailand, France and also in police operations in Japan. I served as a Police Search Coordinator and Police Search Advisor, work that involved many complex and high profile operations, investigations and disasters. I worked with a wide range of people from all walks of life, from government officials to business leaders and from senior executives to activist communities. During my police career I received numerous commendations for outstanding work from Senior Police Officers, Chief Constables and the Home Secretary. I also volunteered as an English teacher for immigrants and foreign refugees in the UK.

Ask me anything
culture is the strategy

“Culture is more often a source of conflict than of synergy. Cultural differences are a nuisance at best and often a disaster.”

Synergy
The interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater that the sum of their individual parts. In our case – LANGUAGE – CULTURE - PRACTICE

passion
Passion over pay cheques every time. There is no greater reward than having a passion for what you do.

eco responsibility
Looking after the planet is everyone’s responsibility. Small initiatives like; reusable water bottles, using public transport and reducing the use of paper in training to the absolute minimum, are just three ways that I try and help.

pragmatism
Solving problems in a sensible way that suits the conditions that really exist now, rather than obeying fixed theories, ideas, or rules.

optimism
... rather than pessimism
