Conscious Relationships
Conscious Relationships
Integrity is the source of thriving and resilience in all our relationships.
If you have special people you want to stay close to in the future, develop your integrity, on your own and together.
I've been working as a coach for couples and other relationship configurations for about twenty years. I was certified by the Hendricks Institute twenty years ago (occasionally renewed), and I've been strongly influenced since then by the work of John and Julie Gottman, Richard Schwartz, and authors who are interested in secure ethically non-monogamous relationships such as Jessica Fern. My work is challenging, playful, and I often hear that clients are surprised at how safe they feel.
Ethical Leadership
Ethical Leadership
Integrity is the only path of leadership that works.
With integrity, you can find your way, with your team and community as allies.
I coach leaders in businesses, charities, communities, social movements, and exciting combinations of the four. I coach leaders on their own practice of leading with integrity, of cultivating healthy practices of being powerful in themselves and in all their relationships, and of guiding others to be powerful in healthy ways.
A Bright Future
A Bright Future
The story of my engagement with Bright, a highly successful Brighton, England, tech company.
Nate started working with Bright when we were in the process of trying to move away from an old-fashioned hierarchy (with two directors making most of the decisions), and were struggling with what to do instead.
We read about Sociocracy (and Holacracy), were intrigued but couldn't see a practical plan that we were sure would work. Nate helped us form a good plan and supported us at 3 levels: in our newly formed General Company Circle as facilitator and chief process guru, in the whole company as lead trainer for everyone to learn how we would govern ourselves (how to set the rules of the game) and as coach to founder, Eric Clack, and a number of other leaders around Bright.
The transition to Sociocracy (or Brightocracy as we call our version) has worked, and proved a durable way for us to run Bright. No system is perfect, but what is uplifting is that we can share and solve the tensions together.
The results speak for themselves: we've seen greater participation in leadership roles, enthusiasm for rep'ing, much greater engagement from everyone around Bright in leadership factors – to name 3: budgets, competing product priorities, hybrid working policies – in short we've become a more sustainable business with much greater spread of the leadership expertise across the company.
It is hard to see how we'd have done this without Nate and his enthusiasm for healthy power, his hands-on approach and commitment to help us make progress, even when we were sometimes surrounded by tensions.
