Have we been chasing the wrong words?

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?

I’m just preparing a workshop for military cadets next week.

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.

NetWalking: Why Walking Side by Side Creates a Collaborative Advantage – Netwalking for Staffs Chamber of Commerce

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

The Future Doesn’t Belong to Ladder Climbers. It Belongs to Pilgrims.

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. Artificial intelligence, automation, economic uncertainty and changing industries mean that the old career ladder has become increasingly fragile. Many people are discovering that climbing faster doesn't … Continue reading The Future Doesn’t Belong to Ladder Climbers. It Belongs to Pilgrims.

We are not lacking information. We are drowning in it.

We are not lacking information. We are drowning in it. Every day—news, AI, opinions, strategies, frameworks. More inputs than any human system was designed to handle. And yet… clarity is rare. Because knowledge is consumed. But wisdom must be cultivated. On May 25th–26th, I’m hosting a small fellowship retreat Gradbach Mill Just 8 places.

Knowledge is consumed…But wisdom is cultivated

Knowledge is consumed...But wisdom is cultivated, by walking, dialogue, in the wilderness, … Continue reading Knowledge is consumed…But wisdom is cultivated

When the world became complex, humans didn’t sit still and compete harder.They … Continue reading The Fellowship Community – Men’s Retreats

Walk with the Living World

Every day we pass trees, flowers, and plants. Most of us don’t truly see them. We’ve been trained to treat green things as mechanisms, objects — resources to be managed or ignored. That way of looking is the same mechanistic story that’s pushed us toward crisis. From cradle to grave we learn to put “nature” … Continue reading Walk with the Living World

Real change doesn’t come from telling people what to think!

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!
