No One is Coming to Save You: The Power-Ups to Help Surf the Chaos" by Dave Prior and Stuart Young is a self-help book focused on developing essential human skills ("Power-Ups") to navigate personal and professional challenges in a chaotic and uncertain world, especially with the rise of AI. The authors emphasise that personal growth and improvement are individual responsibilities, as "no one is coming to save you”.

In a world obsessed with trends, tools, and templates, Power-Ups cuts through the noise. It’s a straight-talking survival guide packed with the timeless human skills you actually need to thrive.

Dave Prior and Stuart Young share the hacks, mash-ups, and cautionary tales forged across years of real-world experiments learned through trial and error (and error, and error, and error). They’ve stumbled, failed, and figured some things out the hard way so you don’t have to.

With a marker in one hand and a mission in mind, I empower individuals and teams to thrive in today’s fast-paced world through a unique blend of emotional intelligence, visual storytelling, and product-focused training and coaching.

As an educator, Certified Scrum Trainer, coach, and facilitator, I help organisations around the world unleash creativity, foster growth through learning, align on vision, and drive real, lasting transformation.

Blending practical business and Agile know-how with a passion for human connection, I design and deliver highly interactive workshops and learning experiences that don’t just teach skills — they spark confidence, build emotional intelligence, and unlock new levels of personal and professional growth.

My publications are a natural extension of these passions — focused on emotional intelligence, visual storytelling, and product thinking to support meaningful change.

A refugee of the music business, I stumbled into traditional project management and later face planted my way into Agile. I’ve spent my entire career studying and exploring better ways to get work done. Everything I do is rooted in two primary questions:

1. What can I do to optimize my ability to show up and be of service to others?

2. How can I, and the people I am collaborating with, continue learning how to work better together so that we all come away from the our time together as better versions of ourselves.

Whether I am coaching, teaching, podcasting, or leading projects, I apply a systems thinking lens to all my interactions, and my job is, to paraphrase Bruce Lee, to be like water.
