Brighton and Hove, England, United Kingdom

 I am an independent consultant, working to design and facilitate learning and strategy processes with people working for social change, whether that's activists,  researchers, people working in service delivery, NGOs, governments, or foundations.  I work internationally, with a focus on climate change and an increasing emphasis on systems approaches.  Out of work, I am an activist, a school governor, a parent, a sea swimmer and a proud resident of Brighton and Hove in the UK.   I want to work more in my local community and see DEAL as a way of combining professional experience with my passion for helping Brighton deliver on its climate and social justice commitments.    In my work, I use a range of tools and approaches to help people think deeply and strategically about their work and to catalyse change.   I love using drawing and play to help explore the big stuff and bring in systems perspectives.   I work across sectors, spanning boundaries and sharing insights and approaches between them.  Recent qualifications that seem relevant here:   Circularity Thinking:  Train the trainer from Climate KIC,  I am trained in facilitation processes to support businesses and organisations to think through how they shift toward being more circular.     Spark: Systems Facilitation,  from the School of Systems Change, course exploring the role and practice of facilitation in systems change.  Lewis Deep Democracy - approach to leaning into and working effectively with conflict and disagreement.  For more info, check out my linked in.   Look forward to connecting with some inspiring people!

Hello there. I wear many hats, worked on various roles and have a lot of interests! Some few hats that are in the spirit of DEAL: - decentralised  : I have experience in facilitating processes in the spirit of , a and governance framework used by around the world. - philosophical : basically using various enquiry techniques to evoke philosophical points of discussion. - wiki-building : currently working on a passion project that serves to curate human skills, tools and frameworks (like this one but more towards understanding our shared humanity) that would serve as a knowledge so that people (with an internet connection) can use these tools for personal and collective flourishing.  

San Jose, California

I currently work as a business coach, helping teams and organizations become more adaptive. I've also co-founded and nurtured a meetup group to grow to more than 3000 individuals.  I'm interested in fostering Land Based Community employment options. What value exchange options arise from taking a regenerative approach rather than an extractive approach with both land and people? What would it take to attract and guide people to deep prosperity? #regeneration, #permaculture ,  #cohousing, , #games,

I am a Professional Dialogue practitioner. My work addresses the counterproductive or destructive behaviour that results from people thinking about themselves as separate from others around them, replacing this with decision-making that takes others into account.  For more than 20 years I've run a small consultancy working with organisations to enable them to become effective, healthy, and generative places to work. This looks like, for example, sustainable change to culture, addressing systemic bullying, union-management conflict, raising the voice of ethics professionals in a business, improving the way organisations work together for mutual benefit along a value chain or for the benefit of their shared clients in a social system, breaking down departmental silos, coaching people to be better leaders, etc, etc. I help structures to work as living systems.  My work sustains change because it changes the way people think and creates a common understanding that enables decisions to be made for the benefit of everyone. Without changing the way people think solutions are temporary fixes only to be monitored and enforced.   I am a founder and Director of Dialogue Associates dialogue-associates.com established in 2003 and founder and trustee of the Academy of Professional Dialogue aofpd.org.  I am also chair of the governing board of a large secondary school.  My clients have included commercial, public sector, and non-governmental organisations across a range of sectors, from energy and finance to public audit and prisons, and multi-stakeholder systems in, for example, criminal justice and migration and development. I have created a practice model and a curriculum for Professional Dialogue practitioners that helps to sustain Dialogue in a system and run educational programmes.      I am looking for opportunities to bring this radical approach to help communities to thrive.
