LIFE-CRAFT CONVERSATIONS
For Leadership; For Life
Through CONVERSATION to INSPIRATION
A BUSINESS AND PERSONAL GROWTH PROGRAMME
People are talking less. Real conversations are fewer and farther between.
Digital messaging has become quicker; saying things in person more risky; automation and AGI don't need talk. By substituting real connection for something remote, communication got easier — but not better.
The result? Fewer meaningful exchanges, increased anxiety over in-person meetings, reduced agency, slower decisions and the fade of human purpose. Business growth or personal development - there's a loss....
...and a major competitive advantage for those who buck the trend.
We help clients rediscover real connection - and then grasp previously unrealised potential in managing interactions. With our proprietary SUIT Programme, individuals and teams can transform the way they assess, connect and determine.
Don't fade into the uncertain quiet. Give us a shout - and achieve a new decisive influence.
PEOPLE, BRANDS, MARKETS, WORLDWIDE... decades of interviews, focus-groups, presentations... and a thriving YouTube podcast.
EXPERT ELICITATION, UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGEMENT...
INCLUDING BUSINESS APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY
I am a seasoned mentor and co-founder of several innovative companies in the marketing and leadership sectors.
Over a long career, I have operated in international brand marketing, education, sports, commerce, start-ups, politics, writing, art - and above all, have brought a unique style of strategic foresight research to over 40 countries, often reporting at board level.
I partner with numerous esteemed experts in a variety of business fields depending on the bespoke design of commissions. My clients are both leaders and their teams - plus individuals striving for personal transformation.
This is understanding and experience that I can now pass on to my clients in the form of Life-Craft and the SUIT Programme.
As a support for the programme, I conduct regular
long-form conversations for my Life-Craft YouTube channel.
