You might be here because something isn’t sitting right. Your organization wants to operate differently – more regeneratively, more relationally, with deeper purpose – but inherited structures and practices keep pulling you back. The gap between values and practice becomes painful.
This is the terrain I work in. After 30+ years at the edges of organizational development, entrepreneurship, and social innovation, I now focus on what I call liminality work: helping navigate the space between what’s dying and what’s not yet born. Not optimizing existing systems, but co-creating what comes next with those ready for that exploration.
If you’re exploring or working toward purpose-driven enterprise, alternative ownership, regenerative culture, or stewardship practices – and you need someone who can hold complexity while helping you sense and move forward – we should talk.
Despite my reputation as a somewhat reluctant consultant, I genuinely enjoy being of service. Over the years I have become more mindful of the conditions for my contributions and also in what roles and situations I can generate the best value.
These are functions/roles I currently prefer:
- Co-stewarding – working together on shaping something long term
- Liminality worker – exploring and creating in the spaces in between
- Educator/teacher – creating learning experiences that make a difference
- Mentor – supporting inter-generational development and personal growth
- Speaking partner – being a trusted advisor and consiglieri
- Writer – crafting my own and commissioned texts, essays and books
In terms of subject area knowledge, skills, and capabilities, I am able to navigate a broad and diverse range of fields and domains, such as:
- Stewardship & systemic leadership
- Regenerative & meta-relational orientations
- Purpose-driven enterprising
- Organisational culture & development
- Learning & education processes
- Systems innovation inquiry
- Innovating philanthropy and investing
- Alternative ownership models
Hopefully this gives you some framing of how I can help. If you find what I’m sharing a bit too abstract then we are most likely not meant to collaborate. If you are curious, but still uncertain, I invite you to read some of my writing, or just get in touch. That will give you a better sense of me and what I can help with.
