I was good but I wasn’t doing good.

I toiled for years as a copywriter and comms manager in agencies.

I was a big ideas ad man.

Concepts, hooks, headlines and big ideas for brands of all kinds. I sold you things you didn’t need (but you bought them anyway).

Then I spun for politicians.

I sold in billion dollar government projects and wrote speeches for the leaders of our state.

And I reaped the rewards.

From bad brand and dicey politicians, I made good coin, had security and free endless coffee pods.

Then after 15 years I walked off into the sunset.

I felt I’d done nothing that mattered.

I was waking at night in terror.

I was angry with how we were treating each other and our planet. I was scared of the future we were leaving for our kids. I knew I’d look back in 40 years and wonder why I hadn’t put my all into making a difference.

I ate a lot of humble pie (when I could afford it).

I volunteered with environmental groups. I spoke with the best facilitators in the country. I read and I studied. I set up free workshops online for people week in and week out for three years. Learning all I could about human connection and facilitation.

I completed a Regenerative Leadership Incubator

I studied Emotional Intelligence and the Science of Happiness

I trained in Climate Workshop facilitation and Offers and Needs Market Facilitation.

And now I have real purpose - to connect.

I’m for the innovators, the educators and the environmentalists. I help teams and communities get closer. To find the sense of belonging so they can lean on each other, trust in each other and together change the world
