Want to develop your human leadership and engagement skills? Last week a senior leader told us this was the best training he had ever attended. Interested? Read on. It’s all about the messy stuff of leading, managing change, and supporting people in a way that is truly authentic and empowering.

Mutual learning in practice
I am writing this having just wrapped up my first leadership development programme of the year for a major aircraft manufacturer. What clearly dropped out for me this week is the necessary dance between leaders and facilitators where each of us are learning from each other. Time and again, I see that the best leadersContinue reading “Mutual learning in practice”
On mutual learning
Yay! I just submitted a 20,000 word assignment reflecting on my work through the lenses of adult learning, humanistic psychology and systemic thinking. Most inspiring here is that I have come to fully realise that my ongoing learning is a necessary condition for helping my clients learn and grow, too. As a coach, facilitator andContinue reading “On mutual learning”
Back to school
I’m excited to embark on a postgraduate certification for coaching supervisors 🌻🌳 🕺🏻💃🏻 More than just coaching the coach, supervision is a practice informed by systemic thinking and is common in all helping professions. It supports continuous professional development, ethical practice, and much more. Supervision is also a professional requirement for accredited coaches. Beyond myContinue reading “Back to school”
Maturing as a human coach: beyond models and AI
I recently ran a CPD seminar on coaching models, AI and maturing as a human coach. If this tickles your interest, here are my slides 😊 Of course, the slides alone aren’t as rich as the full presentation, let alone the breakouts and group discussions. The slides are a collection of deliberately half-baked ideas, heldContinue reading “Maturing as a human coach: beyond models and AI”
Human skills in a multidisciplinary world
Yesterday I was in Newcastle with the latest cohort of geospatial PhD students. We had fun map challenges, deep coaching conversations – and lots of laughter and learning! For this workshop I had designed a back-facing map navigation challenge to practice communication and collaboration with incomplete information, learning about the dangers of unspoken assumptions and diverse interpretations. Another activity turned theContinue reading “Human skills in a multidisciplinary world”
Happy New Year!
Normally I don’t do new year’s resolutions but this year my plan is to *NOT* read any books! I will no longer seek to consume ever more content on business, leadership, or coaching. Instead, I will continue to learn by doing. I will deliver more executive coaching, leadership programmes, and team workshops. And for anyContinue reading “Happy New Year!”

On learning by doing
I spent the last couple of weeks working with leaders from two multinational companies. As usual, I learned as much from them as they learned from working with me. It’s a constant dance. Together, we co-create meaning, insights and actions – often leading to powerful lightbulb moments. Neither leadership nor coaching is something we learnContinue reading “On learning by doing”
