I have spent most of my career trying to understand one question.

What makes behaviour actually change?

I have worked inside large global organizations and independently as a consultant.
I have designed leadership initiatives across countries and cultures, coached senior executives and helped organizations translate broad ambitions into everyday leadership behaviour.
I've trained professionally as a chef and spent five years running my own restaurant.
 

For a long time those looked like separate chapters. I no longer think they are.
 

Both professional kitchens and organizations depend on:

• clarity

• judgment

• trust

• coordination

• standards

• communication

• leadership under pressure

My work today brings those experiences together.

Sometimes that means helping an organization rethink its leadership system.
Sometimes designing a leadership program.
Sometimes working with an executive team.
Sometimes putting leaders into a kitchen.

And sometimes sitting with one person on Pender Island working through what comes next.
Different settings.
 

The same underlying interest:
How do we create the conditions for people to lead better?
