Leadership happens when we take responsibility for change.

Hello.

I believe the only constant is change. I'm a leadership geek, investing my time working on projects with people and organizations committed to creating space for leadership so that more people have the tools to make a difference.

This website brings together the work I do, the projects I work on and the topics I’m thinking about.

My work is focused on:

1

Working with individuals and organizations to navigate change

2

Coaching emerging leaders

3

The Ordinary Leadership Project

Ben has supported us to develop practical approaches to deliver our strategic intent. A great listener who has brought clarity and insights to my thinking, Ben has admirably tried to balance the pragmatic nuts and bolts of running a small but influential NGO while also keeping an eye on purpose... he’s absolutely a partner in making progress happen. He hasn’t just stopped at setting out options but has always been ready to roll up his sleeves to help translate intent into action.

I believe that exceptional outcomes come from many acts of ordinary leadership, not from an act of 'visionary' leadership.

Having spent the last 15 years fascinated by the interplay between leadership and change – from elite sports to small charities – I've met and worked with many inspirational leaders. They have unlocked organizational potential and enabled individuals to thrive, yet they are unrecognized, and we never talk about them; this is where the Ordinary Leadership Project comes in. Our goal is to make leadership accessible to build more teams, organizations, and companies capable of tackling tough, intractable problems.
