Work where you’re valued, live where you’re inspired.
A 30-year adventure story:
Before digital nomads, back when it was called Perpetual Traveller and the internet wasn’t a thing, I was already working from wherever I chose. I still consult, coach executives, run workshops and mentor. Everything I teach, I’ve been doing myself (and still do) for three decades.
Become an Executive Nomad
An Executive Nomad is an experienced professional who no longer lets a job, a title or a place decide how they work.
You spent decades getting good at something. Most people only find out how much of their status was borrowed when the job ends. The title goes, the team goes, the diary empties. The experience is still there, and nobody is asking for it. So the real question arrives: was I valuable, or was the position?
The usual advice gives you two options: retire, or take a smaller version of the job you just left. There’s a third. Build a business around what you know and the life you want. Consult from a harbour town, mentor from your home office, run workshops between trips.
It starts with DecodedAi Lite, our free AI tool. It shows you the value in your career that never made it onto your CV.
Decades of experience, and now you want it working for you, where and how you choose.

For over three decades I’ve run an executive-level, location-independent ‘laptop’ business. This is how it works.
Pick the door that matches where your career happened. Each one is a workshop and an AI app built to get you started on your own. The method is the same behind every door, and each page speaks your sector’s language.
The media world is changing fast. Make sure you stay valued, but on your own terms.
Start in mediaYou know what works in the health sector and what the guidelines miss. That’s worth teaching.
Start in healthNobody sees the pace of change like a tech professional. Here’s how to take advantage.
Start in techYour experience has more possibilities than your last job title suggests. Our unique strategy helps you turn it into a flexible, independent business built around the life you want.
Start with the life, then build the business around it. Decide how much you want to work, where you want to live and which responsibilities you’re done carrying.
Turn what you know into something people will pay for. Get clear on who it’s for, the problem you solve, the result you deliver and what it costs.
Choose how it earns: consulting, advisory work, coaching, board work, workshops, or a portfolio of two or three. Then point it at the sectors and clients that value it most.
Join our workshop from anywhere in the world.
Explore the workshopThe questions everyone asks before they go independent.
Home counts. If you do want somewhere new, check the time zone, the cost, the connection and how long you can stay, and try it for a season before you commit.
Set the company up so it can move when you do, and a change of address never means starting again. Do it early, with an adviser.
A laptop, a phone, reliable internet with a backup, files in the cloud and a way to get paid online. The kit is the easy part.
Set fixed hours that overlap with your clients and protect the rest. Clients value being able to rely on you more than round-the-clock replies.
Where you’re tax resident, where the company is and how long you can stay are three different questions. Ask a qualified adviser in each country involved.
Consulting, advisory work, coaching, mentoring and workshops all work online. Many end up with a portfolio: a retainer, a few mentoring clients, a workshop or two.
Tax, legal and immigration topics are covered here at an educational level. Your own situation is a job for a qualified adviser in the countries involved.
Meet the people taking control of their lives, their income and the way the next chapter looks.

Start free with the AI tools. Go deeper in a workshop. Or build the whole thing with me, step by step, over 90 days.
Ninety days, built together. We shape what you know into an offer, price it, test it in real conversations with buyers, and put the systems in place to run it from wherever you choose. By day 90 you’re no longer relying on theory. The market has told you something.
You have decades of experience and want to know what it’s worth outside your old role.
You want control over where you live, who you work with and how much of your life work takes up.
You’re ready to put in the work for 90 days and talk to real buyers.
You’re really after another job.
You want a guaranteed income or a quick win.
You’d rather keep analysing than test an idea in the market.
Keynotes, workshops and panels for conferences, associations, corporate and HR teams, and broker networks. Thirty-plus years of independent work, from co-founding SIRA Utilities, the company that became uSwitch.com, to a client base that’s been global from day one.
How much of a senior person’s standing is borrowed from the employer, and how to find the part that’s theirs to keep. The audience leaves knowing what their experience is worth on the open market.
Working from anywhere comes down to structure, tools, time zones and income that travels. Every delegate takes away a practical checklist.
Most people who go independent build a job they can’t leave. This talk shows the difference between selling your hours and building something that doesn’t need you in one place.
One introduction from you, at no cost, and the person you’re helping gets a clear way forward. We take it from there.
Make one introduction and you’re done. There’s no cost to get started, your leaver gets real help with what comes next, and your organisation is seen to look after the people who leave.
See the HR page →Pass on one name and we do the rest. We help your client decide what life after the sale looks like, so they commit sooner and deals close quicker. Getting started costs them nothing.
See the brokers page →Home, another city or another country, the choice is yours. It starts with one question: were you valuable, or was the position? DecodedAi Lite gives you a first answer, free, and you can come back to it as often as you like.
