About Me

Life Experiences - creative seeds, waiting to take root

40+ years ago I was given both jewish and islamic names, born into a commitment to common ground.

30+ years ago I left 4 siblings and a one-bed council flat for a prestigious boarding school, traversing very different worlds.

20+ years ago I was diagnosed with my third and most life-changing chronic illness. An ecological alarm clock went off.

10+ years ago I started valuing the hard work of trying to be a better husband, father, brother and son, today.

Work Experiences - ‘you cannot step twice into the same river’

I started as a theatre-director, working with award-winning actors and playwrights. Stories are powerful things.

I went on to support social leadership development - working with civic leaders, international human rights defenders, politicians, social entrepreneurs, pioneering educators and young people. From them I learnt about mutuality.

Now I focus on the deeper (cognitive, embodied, systemic) roots of transformative change, helping people to help themselves, their communities and our wider systems - preferably in that order.
