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. 🌊
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 🌍
A new report from the International Labour Organization highlights a stark reality: over 840,000 people die each year from health conditions linked to psychosocial risks at work—things like long hours, job insecurity, and harassment. These pressures, often tied to cardiovascular disease and mental health struggles, also cost the global economy around 1.37% of GDP annually. … Continue reading 840,000 people die each year from health conditions linked to psychosocial risks at work
For around 300,000 years, humans lived in small, interdependent groups. Not rigid hierarchies.Not corporate ladders.But adaptive, self-organising communities. Anthropologist Richard B. Lee described many of these societies as fiercely egalitarian. Each person embodied a role: Shaman — wisdom, pattern recognition, decision integrity Hunter — decisive action, focus, courage under pressure Scout — curiosity, exploration, new … Continue reading Why We Need More Elders

Support is needed just to stabilise. 2. Resistance The instinct to push back against change. Avoidance. Delay. Quiet denial. This is visible across society right now—in how … Continue reading 🌳 From Resilient to Robust: What the Oak Tree Teaches Teams 🌳
We wildschool, just like wild coaching, we as parents find getting outdoors, in nature and getting real world experience works well for us. Matthew's out horse riding at the moment with Emma Murphy. 🙂 This little clips explains the reasons well I thought. Knowledge is consumed...But wisdom is cultivated, by walking, dialogue, in the wilderness, … Continue reading Knowledge is consumed…But wisdom is cultivated
AI optimises brilliantly. But optimisation without restraint starts to feel inhuman. Not because machines are evil — but because they’re shaped by environments where winning is everything. That’s how systems end up behaving like the dark tetrad: cold, extractive, manipulative — without intending harm. AI doesn’t feel brittleness. It doesn’t pause at ethical edges. It … Continue reading AI isn’t dangerous. Misaligned systems are.
Men have spent centuries being shaped for obedience. Empires, institutions, and markets all depend on men who follow orders without asking too many questions. Over time, this obedience becomes confused with virtue. But the kind of personalities most comfortable issuing such orders are rarely the wisest. Modern psychology identifies a cluster of traits — the … Continue reading When Obedience Becomes the Problem
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
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!
