I co-founded and led Sajen Legal in Queensland. For nearly four decades I acted in high-stakes commercial, insolvency, and partnership disputes. Called in after leadership in professional firms had failed.

That is not a standard career. Most advisers read about what goes wrong in professional firms. I was in the room when it did. I saw what the principals said in private that they could never say in the firm. I saw decisions made in isolation that should have been tested before they were made. I saw the cost of having no one to think out loud with.

The Second Brain is built from that experience.

The work is private counsel for senior professionals who carry their firm and have no one around them they can be completely honest with. Not a coach. Not a consultant. A thinking partner with 36 years of pattern recognition and no stake in the outcome.
