I am a facilitator, consultant and speaker. I help businesses improve performance through better communication, collaboration and applying creativity. I work with successful, curious and adventurous leaders at all levels in business, using a mix of conversational and artistic techniques, and social technology to unlock knowledge and enable it to flow to where it is needed most, and can make the biggest impact. Connecting different groups of people is a vital part of my work. People typically ask me to help when they want to achieve something collaborative and creative, and they want to do this with each other, rather than to each other.
