A decade-old memory popped up today on Mark Zuckerberg's platform Facebook and he's just written a big thesis - https://about.fb.com/news/2026/08/the-future-is-for-everyone/ It took me back to an idea I've been developing for years. I later wrote a book arguing that small, dynamic teams equipped with technology can produce more than large, rigid organisations. So I don't … Continue reading What? …No Jobs!?
It seems simple to outsiders who try to copy us, but what we know is the neuroscience behind how and why people and teams get into flow states. We also unleash creativity, everybody becomes heard, and as a result people gain confidence. Admittedly, after a Dynamic Teaming Walkshop, you've got to become the person that … Continue reading 🎯 We’ve got a great way to develop the skills for your team. 🌊

I’ve been thinking about Dynamic Teaming while working on our allotment. The aim is simple: learn how to grow food from a system that is becoming increasingly fragile.

For decades we've celebrated the #entrepreneur. The person who creates economic value. But perhaps the future needs a different kind of leader. The #Communiteer. Someone who creates #socialcapital. Who connects, collaborates and contributes. Less "How can I succeed?" More "How can we flourish?" Entrepreneurs build businesses. Communiteers build the relationships that make #communities #resilient. Could … Continue reading Have we been chasing the wrong words?

Often; when you see adverts for leadership positions, you notice this long list of skills, that nobody actually possesses constantly. In the dynamic teaming philosophy we teach, we treat leadership as a potential energy within small, complex evolving teams. Self awareness plays a big part of our work in developing these teams. As a bit … Continue reading 🌍 Leadership Development in Dynamic Teams in an AI World 🌍
The subject I'm presenting in the woods is SERE -Survival, Evasion, Resistance, & Escape 😉 What fun! Don't worry there won't be any ... 'prolonged' stress positions or waterboarding 😉 However, I will be focussed on mindset development, decision-making under pressure and stoic-like virtues of courage, compassion, curiosity and clarity. And whether you're doing some … Continue reading I’m just preparing a workshop for military cadets next week.

I'd get the call when an airline company was being fined $millions because too many drugs were being smuggled out of Jamaica on their flights. Eventually, I got bored of looking after UHNW clients and organisations … Continue reading The first half of my life was spent mainly in the military-security world.
