About me

About

me

I ask questions for a living. The answers, it turns out, were usually already in the room.

I’ve long helped leaders and organisations navigate change and make it stick, the messy, human work of shifting how people think, decide and behave that no framework quite covers. I do this through Flyntrok, alongside some immensely talented people, on change and challenge projects that don’t come with instruction manuals, in rooms around the world.

Many years of walking into difficult rooms has taught me one thing: the next step is almost always simpler than it looks. Mostly I listen, closely, and notice what others might miss, and people are kind enough to call me a good observer.

Away from those rooms, I get lost in bookshops, notice things in neighbourhoods I have no business being in, and write about both with equal enthusiasm. The photographs here are almost all mine, an old habit of pointing a camera at whatever caught the eye, unless a caption says otherwise.

This website holds two lives that turn out to be the same life.

Work & Wondering is where the professional thinking lives: leadership, change, AI, and what it actually takes to lead an organisation through what comes next.

Miles & Musings is where the personal writing lives: travel, observation, and the examined life, lightly held. Wander between the two in any order, they turn out to be closer than they look.

If you would rather see me out loud, Public Forums holds the talks, panels and conversations.

Read something. Disagree with something. Or just drop me a line, the form is on the Work With Me page, and I do read everything that arrives.

I also write regularly for Founding Fuel, where sharp editors and a generous community of readers push the thinking further than I could on my own.

You’ve just read the story. This is the life. The dry data and the suit-boot version live on LinkedIn, if you must.

Now, go on, Work & Wondering or Miles & Musings, wherever the curiosity pulls you.
