Working better together
I facilitate and coach people to overcome stuckness and work more creatively. I like to take on difficult challenges, where we need to take new risks to make breakthroughs.
I’ve been doing this for quite a long time with all sorts of people.
I’ve worked across UK. Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia and North America
Working organically
I like to work organically, often in quite small steps. I find a lot of organisations get stuck because they miss out on the small, human details that can make all the difference.
By rushing less, and building trust more carefully, I believe we get much better results.

About me….
I’m the author of the book Unhurried at Work and a co-founder of Creative Facilitation. I’m a visiting tutor on the Oxford Strategic Leadership Programme at the Saïd Business School. I’m an occasional contributor to Fast Company magazine.
My first job was as a speechwriter to Lord Sainsbury, after which I worked in advertising for 15 years. Since then, I’ve worked as a facilitator, based in the UK but often working internationally.
