Something needs to change.
But who can you really take this to?
The next move is getting to solid ground that actually belongs to you.
With someone independent who knows the landscape, who can see what your current position might be blocking and knows what works and what doesn't.

Judgement paid for
in actual living
Thirty-five years. HCI, behavioural engineering, strategic planning, design thinking and de Bono’s lateral-thinking techniques. Finance, tech, advertising and all the clients that went with it. I know the desk silos, the teams, the relationships and the boardroom. I’ve created start-ups, run businesses and had my fair share of failures, or learning experiences as they're called now.
I know the pressures. And sometimes, how lonely it can be.
I also know what I wish I’d had at the time.
So that’s what I became.
More than the career there was the marriage and divorce, the family and getting older. Things going wrong, changing direction and then the uncertainty about who I really was.
Judgement paid for in actual living.
“I meet capable men who are used to solving difficult problems. Then something in their own life stops making sense. They think harder, work harder, look for the better answer — and still go round in circles.
I should be able to work this out … shouldn’t I?”
You do not need fixing.
Nor do you need another method to perform.

You already have structure, strengths, ideas and experience. And what feels like a blockage may contain information that could be really useful to us. We’ll take a proper look at the whole picture before deciding what actually needs to change.
I use plenty of tools and methods and have developed a few of my own. They are useful when they help. When they don’t, we put them down.
The tools must serve you. You never serve them.
