"Alex helped me 'find my feet' through a stretching transition. I especially liked his calm and centred approach which really resonated with me. I feel noticably more confident.”
​
Senior Manager, EY
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.”
