Looking back at this old photo from my military days reminds me why adventure has always been my motivation. The above was taken wandering and climbing around the Himalayas. Early on, I learned to escape hierarchy and test my own limits — eventually joining the SF world, not for prestige, but just to see if … Continue reading 💫⚡💡 Empowered People Behave Differently….And Better! đź’Ş
Turbulent times. Noise everywhere. A quiet pressure to comply. Crowds are easy to steer. Marketing bypasses wisdom. So we outsource our judgement because it feels safer than standing alone. We’re told capitalism is the pinnacle of progress. Yet it burns people out, hollows communities, and breaks the living world. Growth at all costs isn’t success … Continue reading Much of the “authority” we’re asked to obey is built on shaky stories and borrowed confidence.
It happens when people are in the right state to think together. Dynamic Team Walkshops take big, abstract problems and make them human-scale. By walking side-by-side in nature, people move into a calmer, more coherent mental and emotional state. This isn’t theory – it’s biology. Gentle movement and shared rhythm naturally increase anandamide, serotonin, and … Continue reading Real change doesn’t come from telling people what to think!
That’s the problem. -When you never slow down, you lose perspective. -When you stay indoors, immersed in noise, you drift from reality. The smartest leaders know this: * You don’t find clarity by pushing harder — you find it by stepping back. * That’s where coaching and nature come in. Walking in wild spaces shifts … Continue reading Most business leaders are too busy to think!?
Try saying out loud, even in a calm and measured way, that capitalism isn’t the driver of progress. Watch what happens. On most social platforms, you’ll either be ignored or dropped into an echo chamber of outrage. The algorithms reward heat, not light. Nuance gets drowned out by noise. And yet, this is exactly the … Continue reading Capitalism, Progress, and the Lost Art of Civil Dialogue
Tech is powerful, yes. But it's not sacred. Even kids are starting to ask: is this the future we want? Let’s not loop blindly toward oblivion. Let’s walk with wisdom, ecology, and collaboration. 🔥 Choose sensing over speed. 🌿 Choose balance over domination. 🌀 Choose evolution over acceleration. #WildWisdom #EcologicalThinking #ConsciousTech #NatureKnows #CollaborationNotCompetition
Like everything in nature is a competition for survival. That's just not true, there are many examples where different species 'collaborate' for survival. That's why I developed a different way of making decisions, which includes a C.R.A.P. Filter ... An ecology check if you will. Consequences...? Real costs...? Assumptions,... That we're making and really need … Continue reading Turns out most of what we’re led to believe….Just isn’t true.
While assessing Duke of Edinburgh at a prestigious private school, I witnessed something I’ve rarely seen in lower-income settings: one student, lacking confidence and status, was quietly sidelined — made to cook, clean, and carry, while others strutted. They weren't evil. Just enculturated. A study had players start a Monopoly game with randomly assigned wealth. … Continue reading “What Monopoly Teaches Us About Privilege”
Really? I just spent a few days in wild country with a Silver DofE group. Heatwaves, storms, dodgy kit, team tensions, tricky nav — and they faced all of it head-on. Their research project? “Does adventure improve mental wellbeing?” They didn’t just talk about it — they tested it. Tracked their moods. Reflected. Looked after … Continue reading “Kids these days are soft…”
One of the reasons we homeschool is that schooling is primarily based on the industrial model of work. It was after all invented to take care of kids so that their parents could be guided to work in the factories. That's all changing... And so is work. Industrial models of work require people to act … Continue reading Teams will have to adapt too.
