From "doing" to "being": my journey in Organisation Development.
About
Reflecting on my body of work since my first OD role in 1998, I realise that my greatest contribution is not just in "fixing" organisations.
It is in helping the people within them understand themselves and see more clearly through giving attention to our thoughts and feelings. Carlo Rovelli wrote that the frontiers where we are learning are "in the workings of our own thought processes."
That is where I work now.
Navigating Frontiers
My Background
I established MP Partnership in 2003 after years in corporate life. I hold an MSc in Organisational Consulting and am a Fellow of the CIPD. But beyond the credentials, I am a practitioner of the Thinking Environment™, a mediator, and a human being who understands that letting go (or "Wintering") is sometimes the only way to grow new skin.
How I Work
My approach is a blend of thinking together, challenging assumptions, and encouragement.
I believe in "Wintering", recognising when it is time to stop, retreat, and restore rather than relentlessly pushing through. Nancy Kline has been a great influence on my work, and as well as teaching The Thinking Environment, creating space for independent thinking underpins my practice.
