I help people creating positive social and environmental change to think creatively, build stronger relationships, and tap into collective intelligence.

With 20+ years’ experience as a facilitator and learning partner, I bring participatory approaches that help people make sense of complexity, make better decisions, and discover creative edges for strategy, story and change.

Clients include charities, communities, NGOs, corporates, voluntary and civic organisations, including Community Climate Action, UEA, AstraZeneca, University of Suffolk, Adnams, EACH, and the NHS.

Career highlights include leading an innovation programme for community action on climate change, helping to turn around a nature-based charity, and co-authoring an academic paper on collective intelligence based on a series of public health workshops.

I’m also an improvisational actor and run an improv school and community in my home town. It’s seriously joyful and seriously useful, and I offer training in the skills of improv – presence, listening, flexibility, playfulness, and commitment – for leaders and teams who want to navigate uncertainty with better results.

I also host unhurried conversations, story circles, and imaginative dialogues where we invite the living world to become a partner in the conversation – all good human stuff for exploring who we are, who we could become, and how we might see the world differently together.

I’m based in Suffolk with my wife, two daughters, and an unruly cat.
