Coaching for strategy, creative process and relational dynamics
Coaching
"Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
Arundhati Roy. Author & Activist
Creativity
Collaboration
Every relationship is unique and every request for service is different. Whether you are a sponsor in your organisation, an individual, a leader or a team, every piece of work begins with a conversation to understand the terrain. I am fortunate to be part of an incredibly talented network of coaches, exec coaches, therapists, OD specialists and creative mavericks. I pair up with this talent where appropriate to offer you the best service.
How PresentSense coaching works
1. Send an email with a brief overview of your subject request.
​
2. Arrange a free 25 minute call with Alex to scope out suitability.
​
3. Alex will send notes from the meeting along with draft proposal.
​
4. Agree on proposal and make payment before the start date of coaching.
​
5. Begin your coaching sessions.
Alongside his artistic endeavours, Alex works as mentor and coach to leaders in fields ranging from scientific research to professional service firms. He is passionate about helping people figure shit out through self-responsible, co-created reflective dialogue and play. His main focus is sensemaking in uncertainty through observation and experimentation at the boundary edge.
Clients can expect a warm dynamic of challenge, support and edge where conversations may range from strategic to creative and relational priorities. In his free time, Alex can be found playing competitive squash, restoring ancient field boundaries on Dartmoor or pondering the absurd in nature.
“I am interested in conversations beyond right and wrong. Of heartfelt discovery and non-directive emergence where authenticity is cherished, encouraged and emboldened. These conversations take us to the edge and require our creativity, conviction and courage.”
