WORKING WITH ME

How I work

I work individually and collaboratively through my own consultancy, Bubworks, which I founded in 2002. I may select learning partners who bring deep expertise and scale, in other languages and geographies when needed.

And in this changing world, I partner with visionary leaders at the intersection of human, AI, and nature, to ground and elevate their organisations and enhance the world we inhabit.

Unlocking conversations, holding space for dialogue, teaching the skills and creating opportunities for connection to transform conflict and build trust—in ourselves, each other, nature, and technology.

At the core of my philosophy is the transformative power of communication, and co-creating spaces where empathy meets bravery, and conversations are not just spoken but felt.

I believe in examining the whole picture. Your organization is more than just a sum of its parts – it's a dynamic system of relationships, beliefs, and patterns. My work falls into five buckets - and you can explore them more fully below.

My Approach

However you choose to work with me, my approach unfolds along three steps...

1. Discovery

We start by mapping out your current reality and goals. Using diagnostic assessments and interviews, we reveal the intricate system at play, whether it involves an individual, team, or larger group.

2. Momentum Building

With a clear understanding of the context, we engage in deepening conversations to ensure every perspective is heard. This paves the way for genuine breakthroughs and ownership of change.

3. Bespoke Design

We craft a tailored pathway that adapts to necessary changes, aligning with your outcomes and vision. Through coaching, facilitation, and training, we equip leaders to navigate complexity with empathy, creativity, and courage. Beyond individual wins, we nurture a resilient shared culture rooted in trust and shared values.
