Kent understands the pressures of running a trade or construction business because he has lived them himself.

A licensed electrician who successfully ran his own contracting business, Kent brings more than 35 years of experience working with business owners, tradespeople and their teams. As a qualified coach and educator, he combines his practical trade background with a genuine understanding of the pressures of balancing work, family and life.

As a RISE Coach, Kent focuses on supporting the mental health, wellbeing and resilience of people working in the trade and construction industries. He understands that long hours, competing demands, uncertainty and workplace pressures can take a toll on mental health.

Kent provides a practical, confidential, and non-judgemental space to build mental health awareness, develop practical skills for managing pressure and strengthen resilience. His down-to-earth approach helps people recognise when they may be struggling, identify strategies to manage challenges and build confidence to seek further support when needed.

As a husband, father and grandfather of four, Kent also understands that workplace pressures can affect family and life beyond work.
