Additional thoughts and reflections

I also enjoy blogging, where I share my thoughts, reflections and ideas - I use Medium as the home for my Journal.  You can also subscribe by email here 

I have also published in a few other places on the web.

 My approach to working with individuals, teams and organisations that I know works:

1. Understand you and your context
2. Support and challenge to learn by doing in ways that are grounded in real work and that help develop new ways of thinking and acting over time. 
3. Provide a thoroughly tested set of practices, tools, methods, and processes that enable, accelerate, and share learning in order to grow and scale for impactful action.
4. Build capacity, not dependency, for you, your team, service area and organisation in a way that is self-sustaining, scalable, and continuously evolving.
