I’m reopening my advisory practice

For the past twenty months I’ve been in hibernation, writing my book Leadership Legacy: A Manifesto to Create a Mindful Future and a Thriving Planet.

The book became a permission slip.

Permission to acknowledge messiness. To sit with complexity. To allow paradoxes to coexist rather than forcing them into resolution.

Not to simplify. Not to make binary decisions. But to learn how to navigate multiple realities, and make different choices because of it.

If you’ve followed some of my posts during that time, you’ve seen glimpses of that process. Not just ideas, but a live experiment in noticing my own patterns, transitions, and reorientation unfold in real time.

That journey reshaped how I understand leadership, work, money, identity, and change, not as concepts, but as lived thresholds.

Now I’m reopening a small number of one-to-one advisory spaces.

This practice has been quiet for nearly two years. I needed it to be. The book required full attention, and so did my own transition.

But the work never stopped, it just went underground, reshaping itself through the writing.

What’s emerged is clearer, more grounded, and more precise.

Who this is for?

I work with founders, executives, artists, cultural practitioners, storytellers, particularly those usually helping others or telling the stories of others, and system-thinkers who find themselves in moments where familiar strategies still ‘work’ on paper, but no longer feel aligned in the body.

You might recognise yourself if:

* You’re balancing meaning and financial reality

* You’re translating deep or unconventional work into mainstream environments

* You’re navigating a transition without a clear map

* You feel responsibility without spaces to think aloud

* You sense patterns others haven’t named yet

What the work is, and isn’t.

This isn’t classical coaching. There’s no performance optimisation. No goal-chasing. No accountability frameworks.

The work is reflective and pattern-based, surfacing what’s underneath a situation, clarifying what’s trying to emerge, and shaping precise next steps.

It includes navigating technological paradoxes, how to hold identity, creative practice, and leadership in an age of AI, automation, and algorithmic culture. For executives, that extends into AI governance, digital transformation tensions, and leading through disruption without losing coherence or values.

People who’ve worked with me describe it as a rare combination: enough safety to face what’s uncomfortable, and enough clarity to act differently.

How it works.

I’m opening a small number of spaces this season.

I offer a sliding scale to honour different economic realities, artists and independents alongside executives and founders. Same depth. Different investment levels.

This work is for people ready to invest in depth rather than quick fixes.

Sessions begin with a short intake form, not an application, but a first act of listening. From there, we’ll have a 30-minute scoping call to sense whether the work is right for both of us.

No preparation required. Just arrive as you are.

If this resonates reply to this post and tell me what transition you’re navigating. I read everything. You can also express your interest here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16v5kCzRq5YmkKvca58TIvQ3gsvsiARrUt9wORPfh7aM/edit

And if someone came to mind while reading this, feel free to forward it, only if it feels like a genuine invitation.

What type of ancestor do you want to be?

With warmth,
