Now
This is what I'm focused on now (updated January 2026).
Rebuilding the Foundation
There's something deeply satisfying about taking something that works and making it work better . Right now, I'm in the middle of a complete refresh of this site — not just a lick of paint, but a genuine rethink of how I communicate what I do.
It's a bit like the work I do with clients: sometimes you need to step back, see the whole system clearly, and rebuild with intention. The old site served me well. This one will serve you better.
New Infrastructure
Behind the scenes, everything is moving to a new server. Faster, cleaner, more robust. The kind of invisible improvement that makes everything else possible — much like getting your strategy foundations right before scaling.
Strategy Coaching
The client work continues. Leaders who want clarity. Teams that need alignment. Strategies that need to pass the 3am test. This is the work that energises me.
The Ongoing Curriculum
Still deep in early Chinese philosophy — particularly how ancient thinking about change and adaptation applies to modern strategy. The more I study, the more I find that the best strategic insights aren't new at all.
Fun Fact: "Now Now"
Anyone who has been to South Africa knows that "now" (sometime, maybe, eventually), "now now" (I plan to get there but could be shortly or a bit later), "right now" (a little more urgent but still ambivalent) and "just now" (later) all have specific meanings that are known to locals and opaque to anyone not familiar with them.
