This is what I’m doing NOW (May 2022)
(Inspired by Derek Sivers and Graham Allcott)
-
Follow-through actions from facilitating Workshop (29th - 31st March) for UN Climate Change Secretariat and Government of Egypt Joint Organising Team which is preparing all practicalities for COP27

With a refreshed fresh book structure for ‘Wild Waters – a route map for good leaders in bad trouble’, extending the focus to include third sector Chairs and boards as well as CEOs. With 52,000 words, the manuscript is now nearly complete and I now await (with eager apprehension)responses from beta readers. Working on it with Jenny Berry ACEVO and I am now approaching publishers who will help us edit and design it so I can bring its more than 110 nuggets of advice to the third sector leaders who urgently need it. Delighted to have received endorsements from Sir Nick Young, former CEO Macmillan and British Red Cross & Vicky Browning CEO, ACEVO, Sarah Vibert Interim CEO NCVO and Jesper Christensen, Consultant BDB Pitmans, Bernd Eiden, Co-founder and Director of the Chiron Centre for Body Psychotherapy and more here
