I began my career as a meteorologist, modelling storms on computers, until I realised I’d lost touch with the sky itself.

Later, consulting on complexity and systems, I saw the same pattern: I had the frameworks, but missed the life inside them.

My path has never been linear. I never had a plan.  Each turn came from staying present to what was emerging and trusting what I sensed. This is what I mean by waysfinding: not seeking an existing path, but remaining awake enough to make one as you walk.

I have spent most of my life at thresholds:  in organisations, in my own work, and in the between-spaces where something has ended and what comes next hasn’t yet arrived. I know how to be in uncertainty without unravelling. I know how to navigate complexity without needing to resolve it prematurely.

You can’t accompany others into terrain you can’t inhabit yourself.

I spent 25 years working with organisations, leadership teams, and individuals, navigating the kind of change that resists management. From this experience flowed Waycraft: a living set of practices for when the old maps fail.

There have been moments when I was lost. When I could no longer be the professional I thought I was building, when I had to question everything I believed to be true, when work dried up and relationships I valued collapsed.

I don’t believe science and the soul are separate. Neither are the personal and the systemic, the mind and the body. I’ve stopped treating these as things to integrate -as if they were ever apart.

I still watch the sky.
