A Little Bit About Donnie

I love creating a supportive, safe space for people to figure out who they really are and what is important to them. I find joy in helping people discover what they really need to feel fulfilled in life. I feel strongly about people having the time and space to rediscover their truth.
I’m an autistic man who grew up not knowing I was part of the nuerodivergent community. When I disovered I was autistic, my entire life started to make sense. From my earliest memories to more recent work-life challenges, the reason I had struggled became crystal clear.
Since discovering my autism, I now live and work in ways that support my neurodivergent needs. The difference these changes have made is life-changing and I’m finding new ways of adding to these every day.
I believe in keeping things simple. Life has enough complexities without us making things more difficult than they need to be. It takes conscious focus to simplify things, to get the essence and remove the unimportant.
I am a fully qualified and insured coach and mentor. I have over 20 years of coaching experience to support you in your journey.
I am a Highlander, living in Whitstable, Kent along with my wife Sasha. I can often be found road cycling, absorbing all the news around Formula 1 or spending time in nature.

My Meditation Process
Meditation isn’t always easy. Even for people who find it extremely helpful. I meditate every day, usually just 10 minutes in the morning before getting started with the day. You would think that it was easy after doing it on and off for years. I have found it worth persevering though. If I get out of the…

Spotting The Insidious Symptoms of Stress
Stress can hit you in the face like a prizefighter’s punch. It can also creep up on you and steal your life like a pickpocket in a well-known Charles Dickens novel. It can do both though. Firstly, creeping up slowly, eroding your life, before hitting you hard and knocking you out. It’s better to spot…

Know Yourself to Know Success
To be truly successful, you must enjoy your life. Success is not going to bring you happiness if you measure it by the wrong criteria for you. Having lots of money but no time to enjoy it will not bring happiness. Financial rewards do not mean you are successful in life. It’s vital to know…

Feel Better by Knowing Yourself
It’s a common story, some call it a midlife crisis, for others it’s an awakening. We all know of people who have made significant changes in their lives.

How to Divide and Conquer Your Task Lists
In my earlier post on the main tools you need in a personal productivity system, I suggested using a task manager app. It wasn’t just a task list that I was recommending, but something more. I wrote a list of requirements for the task manager, refresh your memory here if you need to. One of…
