How does our 'immune system'​ prevent the change we want to make?
LinkedIn
April 22, 2020
Today, there are many commentators and analysts writing about the current health crisis from many different angles. How to be resilient, how to lead, how to pivot our businesses and so on.

Whilst these are all well-intentioned, most - at best - are playing a guessing game.

Nobody really knows the eventual outcome yet. We are all doing our best to place one foot in front of the other so we can see the next 50 feet in front of us, making the best the decision we can with objective data and the best advice available at the time.

LinkedIn
February 20, 2018
Aikido is a highly technical martial art that, unlike other martial arts, seeks to restore harmony in the world. When your attacker pushes, you pull. When your attacker pulls, you push. Your ability to blend your energy with that of your attacker both almost instantly, effortlessly and completely without a reliance on strength is where the true skill and mastery lies.

What New Lessons Music & Martial Arts Can Teach Us About Being United In Harmony
EMCC GLOBAL
April 04, 2022
Date: June 09, 2022. Location: Virtual.
Martial arts and music both provide both a familiar lens and counterintuitive truths as to how harmony is created. For example, consider music. Dissonant harmony applied in the right musical context and with care creates deeper, richer harmonies that create listening experiences that move both the head and the heart. Consider too, martial arts. The concept of transient hypofrontality is an essential component of the flow state which transforms a performance from two people working hard to fulfil their roles in the creation of performance to blending and merging into a single, effortless and graceful performance.

We will discuss how our relationship to work is changing as a result of the pandemic. The enforced pause has provided many of us with the opportunity to become more aware of how we spend out time and energy, to question the nature of our ingrained habits and routines, and to consider what is most important to us. Many people are reconsidering how they will live life, what they want and what they are willing to tolerate. We are at a tipping point where there is opportunity for reinvention.
