Making sense of the world we’re in

I help people to make sense of the rapidly changing world we’re in, and to imagine and build the relationships and the caring, adaptive cultures that we need for these challenging times.

My keynotes and talks combine powerful insights with interaction to illuminate, inform and inspire. I speak to human beings not “audiences” or “organisations” because each person in the room has their own hopes, challenges and fears that they want to realise or overcome, as well as being part of a collective.

I’ve been a professional speaker for over 30 years, meeting the needs of a wide range of people and groups - boards, senior managers, teams, professionals, communities - with carefully curated content designed to engage everyone.

Here are just some of the topics I speak on:

• Making sense of the world we’re in - how did we get here, what now, and what’s mine to do?

• Leadership skills for the kind of 21st century we didn’t actually expect.

• Eco-anxiety, climate distress and mental health - strategies for nurturing wellbeing in uncertain, unsettling times.

• Doom or hopium? What can climate psychology teach us about getting the right balance in climate communications?

• Let’s decide together: democratic practices for building resilient, adaptive, sustainable communities.

• Time to think: the power of listening to ignite human minds.
