What I am doing now.

What I am Thinking About
Spring is almost here. It’s that liminal time in the calendar when the grass is starting to show and might even be green. The snow is (mostly) gone, but for skiers in the mountains, it’s great.
I’m using this change of season to reflect upon some big changes with my life. After almost 18 months, I’ve decided to leave the organization I was working with and return to independent work. Some of this is about being drawn back to the world of complexity; those dynamic, thorny situations that we find ourselves and organizations embroiled in more and more. It’s also about returning to a focus on health and well-being. Whether it was with community projects, healthcare, or policy work, I’ve always focused on issues that deal with innovation in the health system. It’s been about finding ways to address the complex conditions that we find ourselves in and how that affects our wellbeing. Whether care, health promotion or prevention, without health there’s nothing left.
That call to serve has drawn me back to the contexts where I can have the most impact and stokes my passion. As spring comes, so too does the hope for how we can create healthier conditions for us all amid the complexity of life in 2025. No simple task, but one worth tackling.
Projects
These are remarkable times. There’s much upheaval, change and uncertainty. I’ve built my career around working with these things and helping people understand, make sense of, and deal with these things. I’ve been re-tooling my resources, firing up my writing, and beginning to explore opportunities that will allow me to best support our collective health. At the heart of this will be writing and publishing work at Censemaking and through my LinkedIn page. Watch this space and those for more.
