What I’m focussed on now…
Making The Difference

Despite extraordinary work by millions of people, many of the underlying systemic problems remain.

Make The Difference means creating a world where everyone is included, no one is left behind, and every person has the opportunity to realise their potential.

Real Circularity

This is a collaboration venture to help take the talked about theories of circularity and sustainability and actually implement them in the real world.

There is a book, academy, summit, consulting services, online course and more.

Definitely worth being aware of and essential reading and understanding for those wanting to thrive and help others really do the same in the years ahead.

If you know an author who the world needs to know more about.. have them join us.

Freedom International NOW

I have been involved in charity work and philanthropy for several decades and it’s one of my prime drivers. The last few years have brought home how important it is to be able to give people a hands up and provide support during the bad times.

We’re actively looking for volunteers, donors, sponsors, mentors and more to support the active clients and initiatives in the UK and globally.

It would mean the world if you could make a donation and help me with this charity.

Could you donate £1 each month?

Pause Stop Reset

I’m loving how people are engaging with Pause Stop Reset – The Three Little Words That Make The Difference. The Journal is available on Amazon. The Podcast continues to grow and interviewing guests I learn more about them and much more. There will be a Yearbook available soon.

Please help me spread this important work. I’m also happy to speak about it on Podcasts or live events.

The Joint Venture Company

I continue to be excited and passionate about real win win win collaborations, and joint ventures. I believe that business growth and real value creation is possible in this way. Most companies aren’t ready and need help connecting the dots and this is something me and my partners love to do.

If you’d like to explore how joint ventures and referrals can help you grow your business or you can become a better ambassador / connector get in touch.

Inner Circle Society

Growing up I was present to being an outsider and over time I was very lucky to get access to incredible people, places and projects. I’ve also realised the importance of having a trusted community with high integrity. This is true in business, in philanthropy and in life.

I’m excited to have been chosen to help steward Inner Circle Society as it resets post lockdown and builds something new, learning from what’s come before.

The Ecosystem Incubator

Rachel Sheila Kan and I have been incubating this project for over a year now and proud to be one of the Founders.  It’s super exciting to see how it’s developing. Already being acknowledged by Drapers as a One To Watch for Sustainable Fashion (2022) , we’re bringing together people in whole new ways in order to make a fundamental shift around sustainable fashion and so much more.

A chance to experience Real Collaboration as we say.. and it’s already producing real world tangible results – not just theory.

Learn more about this project if you’re curious about the future of fashion and new ways of doing business.

We Design Brands

I’ve been helping design brands for decades. My own and others. It’s part of my skill set that I love and we’re building out an ecosystem to let us help more people with great ideas.
