THANK YOU JESUS FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS.

Then to my wife, you make me better, this would not have been possible without you. My person, my pain in the arse and the reason I have been able to achieve this. Your understanding and belief in me makes it possible for me to chase my goals and achieve my dreams. Working late regularly and travelling around, without your support, none of this was possible. This was always our award.

To my children, I love you all so much, thank you for making better.

Then to all my family and friends whose support is always unwavering.

To my staff, current and past, we did this.

To my mentors and guides, those that I turn to for emotional support, when this dark world goes blurry for me, and those that I lean on for business guidance, thank you.

To my business partners and shareholders, thank you for believing in me with your investment, your guidance and your time.

And last but not least, to our clients. Your trust in me when your child has been through their darkest hour and then your family is falling apart. To the schools, churches and sporting federations who allow me to guide you through these waters, you honour me with your trust.

I may be in Dubai, receiving these awards, but its only possible because I get to stand on the shoulders of giants.

YOU ARE ALL MY GIANTS. THANK YOU.

I AM HUMBLED, GRATEFUL AND PROUD OF OUR ACHEIVEMENTS, THIS WORLD WILL BE SAFER BECAUSE WE WERE HERE. WE ARE ALL GUARDIANS.

So we have arrived.

The environment and culture of an organisation dictates behaviour, not people. Think about a Pub vs a Courtroom. A church vs a sport’s locker room.

Some people behaving differently. People don’t decide how they behave; they behave in accordance with what their environment allows. Make sure your organisation prioritises a safeguarded culture.
