Redundancy i.e. having alternative options is vital for society to continue to work as is. But as we're seeing in the geo-political scene, it's still not enough. Our societies are so dependent on fragile supply chains that should the lights go out - and those in the know are talking about this possibility - then … Continue reading Redundancy i.e. having alternative options
In a world that's experiencing change on a paradigm shifting scale, I wonder how will ordinary people react? We're more than likely going to experience major 'shocks' to the world order and if that's not unsettling enough, we're likely going to be maneuvered into a war footing, and some sort of tech-surveillance dystopia as a … Continue reading One Day ‘Stoic Pilgrim Field Day’

And whether you're doing some … Continue reading I’m just preparing a workshop for military cadets next week.
We Evolved to Think While Moving For almost all of human history, important conversations happened while walking. Our ancestors solved problems, planned journeys, built alliances and shared stories as they travelled through landscapes together. Movement wasn't separate from thinking—it was part of thinking. Modern neuroscience increasingly supports this ancient practice. Walking increases cerebral blood flow, … Continue reading NetWalking: Why Walking Side by Side Creates a Collaborative Advantage – Netwalking for Staffs Chamber of Commerce
For generations, success followed a familiar script: work hard, get promoted, climb higher. It was a world of certainty, predictable career paths and clear milestones. That world is disappearing.
