Who inspires you?<br />

For me it’s my daughters Alice and<br />

Jenni. We all need a purpose in our<br />

lives. I know both my girls have<br />

experienced sexism and forms of abuse<br />

in their lives. It angers me and has<br />

forced me to self-inspect my own<br />

behaviours when growing up. This in<br />

many ways have been very helpful. My<br />

girls experiences inspire me to make<br />

the invisible, visible, especially when<br />

working with boys and men. I show a<br />

picture of them at most trainings and<br />

presentations I deliver. They are my<br />

Why.<br />

What is a typical day ?<br />

Retirement from the police hasn’t<br />

meant that I have slowed down. In<br />

fact, I’m as busy as ever. I’m a bit of a<br />

social media addict using it to extend<br />

my learning and connect with likeminded<br />

people. My day often starts<br />

with some web surfing. Preparation is<br />

important for me. I like to ensure my<br />

content is bespoke and current. A lot of<br />

my time is spent developing my<br />

content to ensure those attending<br />

trainings get the most from it.<br />

How do you switch off from<br />

work?<br />

I sometimes find it hard to totally<br />

switch off. There is so much going on<br />

in the world that both upsets and<br />

angers me.<br />

I just want to develop conversations to<br />

help others see the issues at play.<br />

Walking the dog, running, skiing and<br />

enjoying time with my wonderful wife<br />

all excite me.<br />
