As a facilitator of learning I’ve been helping individuals, teams and organisations to learn, develop and grow for over 30 years. I’ve seen that Nature is our first and best teacher, and so I now help people to learn in, with and from Nature so that they have the skills, motivation and confidence to help make the world a better place. I also draw on the creative arts, ancient wisdom, and neuroscience to create joyful, transformational learning experiences.I can help you if…..• You want to become an authentic leader with the courage, wisdom, compassion and vision to make a positive difference in your life, community, workplace, or the wider world.• You want to promote mutual understanding, harness diversity, and improve communication and collaboration within your team, organisation or community.• You want everyone in your organisation to respect and value each other and the planet in all their activities and interactions.• You want to apply nature’s principles to your workplace to become a more regenerative organisation.By creating the conditions for people to embrace and be guided by Nature’s wisdom and awakening them to Nature’s role as master, mentor, mirror, and metaphor, I help people to understand that they are members of Nature, to look to Nature for lessons and guiding principles, and to connect the nature inside themselves with the nature around them. Watch the Nature at Work video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGhYrPN8CEE to find out why and how I and my Saltbox associates do this.My partner @Mark Pogson and I are rewilding our land here in Scotland to increase biodiversity, contribute to carbon reduction, and create a haven for wildlife. Rewilding the land is about restoring nature so it can take care of itself and so that both people and planet can thrive. My work is about helping to rewild people and workplaces. In today’s mechanised, digitised, antiseptic world, people have become “unwilded” and need rewilding as much as the land does: We need to restore both the nature within ourselves and our relationship with the nature outside of us, so it can take care of us and all life on Earth. Similarly, organisations need help to understand the basic principles and patterns of nature and to apply these so they can run in a more regenerative, life-affirming way.I am passionate about the transformative power of Nature and about working in partnership with Nature to promote personal growth and organisational development, and l support other facilitators of learning to do this through the Nature Practitioners' Network.
