ABOUT MERLIN:

They say I am a charismatic, well-rounded, widely-travelled and vocationally-experienced gentleman, who also has more than a few scars (physical and emotional) to show for an intensely-lived life. After earning a management degree from the London School of Economics (LSE), I founded a highly-successful UK charity to aid development and skills-building in Africa. I am heading up an accelerator for social impact investing in Asia. 

In my personal Coaching, I utilise a decades-deep understanding of ancient Asian practices which aim to connect mind, body and soul. I am also an accomplished sailor, yachtsman, off-piste snowboarder and cyclist, and an expert practitioner/instructor of Tai Chi and Taoist arts, including Longevity Breathing.

I am a beginner in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kite-surfing and Callisthenics.

I am a course and book ‘junkie’ (frankly, and as all my friends know), and am distilling wisdom from a great many experts in different areas. Courses include:

From Blair Singer I’ve learned how to facilitate and teach, goal setting, PERT, Team Code of Honour and Much more. Blair is one of the very best in the world, I’ve met Tony Robbins’ lead trainers attending his courses.

Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi have taught me a lot of mindset work, life skills and practical personal development skills. I’m part way through a course in coaching by Robbins and Madanes.

Benjamin Hardy is one of my mentors, teaching me how to use Future Self, morning routines, POD groups, habits and lots more.

Andy Harrington, Blair and Tony have taught me mindset and how to develop and structure courses and a whole load of personal development.

I have had the good fortune to work directly with two Taoist Masters and I'm a qualified instructor in Taoist Longevity Breathing, Tai Chi and Qigong. 

I’ve trained in bodywork and massage with a few different teachers, myofascial release, deep tissue...
