2024 continues to call in the strategic building of community & community capital born from the 'Economics of Conversation'.

Vision it; community cohorts energised by conversations igniting common unity drawn from common purpose, nourished by community learning & common sense.

The common ground of my value-building work for communities, in and outside of business, is the commitment to social innovation for positive societal impact; the willingness to 'look in different places for new answers'.

This is especially critical on the business bridge between Strategic Modeling and Spiritual Intelligence, as we walk between Web2 to Web3 and the decentralised Metaverse economy.

My integrated approach encourages fearless leaders to 'talk in, before they talk out', earning me the label ‘different from the crowd’, and even 'off the wall'.

The results, however, are often described as 'magnificent' and 'a wakeup call'.

Here's a selection:

🤍 For the conversations that unplug Web3, join me with my associates at Cybergear.io, OnlyWebinars.com, and Meta-Shapers.com

🤍 Edfundo.com the smart money management app for youngsters, created by teachers, managed by parents. I mean how cool, how relevant, and how EdTech is that! Edfundo's underbelly is Financial Literacy to build Financial Intelligence to nourish Financial Happiness for our children as they become adults in the digital, cashless world.

🤍 Alongside Edfundo, I am an advisor to Montessori education, as well as www.GRIDSERVE.com the UK's first network of Electric Forecourts supporting migration to electric vehicles. I am associated with the UAE's leading cloud services firm, www.mediasolutions.ae.

🤍 In 2020, I co-created www.strategicheartistry.com with Possibility Activist Ian Berry. Strategic Heartistry is an alternative to strategic planning, connecting hearts, heads, and hands to plans, in much the same way that Dr Maria Montessori noticed children do. Toddlers engage Heart first. We tend to be schooled as a Head-first generation. Try listening to your heart, the heart knows. Then ask your head.

🤍 From Strategic Heartistry modeling morphed Heartistry Life, integrating my insights as a wellbeing coach with www.rawhorizons.com. Heartistry Life is as an individual, bespoke programme around three conscious energy streams - reflection, movement, and diet.

🤍 To further underpin the bridge between Strategy and Spirituality, I am a senior Edgewalker www.edgewalkers.org, a coach in Spiritual Intelligence www.deepchange.com, an Integral Facilitator www.tendirections.com, as well as www.selfistry.com.
