Resources for helping organisations thrive
Here you will find articles on the five types of service I offer organisations and the people in them. These will hopefully give you a flavour of how I work and what inspires my approach. If you have any questions about these services please contact me.
Rehearsal for Revolution?
Can drama really be an effective weapon for change in the 21st century? With all that we are facing into now, how do theatrical processes play a part in the solution? Twenty years after graduating and over five years since last having a go, I recently dusted off my understanding of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed.
Stories as the Currency of Culture
How do you know there has been a cultural shift in the organisation you work for? How would you write a business case to determine the benefits of investing in culture change work? Why does culture matter and how can we prove it? These are the questions I’ve been asked in the past when working as a consultant, coach or facilitator in businesses.
Rebrand and Recipe for Resilience
