helping people and organisations untangle complex thinking and see what’s next.
I work at moments where things feel busy, over-engineered, or stuck — when effort is high but progress is low.
Helping people see what’s really going on, when clarity matters more than another framework — and momentum follows.
How I work.
I’m often brought in when progress is being swallowed by complexity.
What I do first is help people talk honestly about what’s happening — without defensiveness, without overthinking, and without getting lost in abstraction. That alone creates relief.
Then I do what I’m known for: I find the through-line. I spot patterns. I name what matters. I bring structure where it’s needed, and freedom where it’s overdue.
I care deeply about purpose and integrity, and I’m practical about what will work in the real world. Once the truth is clear, movement becomes easier — and pace and scale tend to return faster than people expect.

Clarity and momentum in complex work
I work with teams and organisations when the work itself has become tangled — fragmented initiatives, duplicated effort, or models that no longer fit the reality on the ground.
My role is to surface what’s really going on, find the through-line, and reshape the work around what matters — so pace returns and scale becomes possible without adding more process.
This often involves creating simple, shared models that can hold complexity across contexts and actually be used in practice.

Leadership clarity under pressure
I co-founded The Still Point to work with leaders and groups at moments of pressure, transition, or change — when complexity is high, decisions matter, and the usual ways of thinking aren’t enough.
This work isn’t about adding tools or frameworks. It’s about helping people reconnect with what they already know beneath the noise, so clarity can surface and direction can emerge naturally.
From that place, decision-making steadies, leadership becomes less effortful, and momentum returns without being forced.
Think of this as your very own fractional Chief Wellbeing Officer — senior, trusted judgement focused on the human system that makes everything else possible.

Identity and your next chapter
I work with people at moments when an old identity no longer fits — even if, from the outside, things still look successful.
This might be a career pivot, a post-exit or post-burnout phase, or a quieter realisation that the way you’ve been living or working no longer feels true.
My role is not to push you towards a new label or plan. It’s to help you see what’s really going on, loosen what no longer belongs, and move towards what wants to emerge.
This work is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in real life — so change becomes something you can inhabit, not perform.
Big ideas become practical realities when people can think clearly together.
If you’re building something that matters — in your work, your leadership, or your own next chapter — I can help you start from clarity.
