The purpose of my work is to help people and organisations to renew our world. I do this through communication, facilitation and collaboration:
I’m very curious about the connections between personal learning and social/environmental change. That’s why I combine personal inquiry and change with big picture thinking.
We’ll turn problems into possibilities and challenges into opportunities by re-learning, re-imagining, re-thinking, re-designing and re-creating our world. We’ll renew ourselves, our communities and our environment by developing our full potential as human beings.
I'm also the Chair of the Intersect Trust, which planted and fertilises the Intersect Network for purposeful young professionals (see www.intersect.org.nz).
“I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process — an integral function of the universe.” – Bucky

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." — Proust
"In nature, change never happens as a result of top-down, pre-conceived strategic plans, or from the mandate of any single individual or boss. Change begins as local actions spring up simultaneously in many different areas. If these changes remain disconnected, nothing happens beyond each locale. However, when they become connected, local actions can emerge as a powerful system with influence at a more global or comprehensive level. These powerful emergent phenomena appear suddenly and surprisingly. ." — Margaret Wheatley
