I am an educator, storyteller and consultant in the Human Scale Development approach, also known as Barefoot Economics. Barefoot Economics uses a fundamental needs framework to assess the health of economies, and helps us change the narrative around economic success to include the many ways we meet our needs that fall outside the scope of westernised notions of value.Drawing on my background in performance storytelling and improvisation, my work focuses on the interplay between language, narrative and behaviour change. I work with groups to help them cultivate a ‘radical collective imagination’, as the basis for addressing our shared complex challenges. I am honoured to have worked with a wide range of international audiences, including refugees, business leaders, community organisers and students from institutions such as Schumacher College, the Centre for Alternative Technology, London School of Economics and Lille Institute of Political Studies. In 2021 I founded a social enterprise called Crazy Beautiful World with my 16 year old son. Our mission is to connect young people with the adults who care about their future to explore compassionate and wise ways to navigate the challenges of the 21st Century.Am currently running my Beautiful Economies Learning Lab online. www.beautifuleconomies.com
