When Values Meet Reality: The Ben & Jerry’s Story I Wrote About in 2017 Continues to Unfold

Today’s news that Jerry Greenfield is stepping away from Ben & Jerry’s, citing Unilever’s silencing of their social mission, validates concerns I raised in my 2017 book ‘Values Count’. When values-driven companies are acquired by larger corporations, the promise to maintain social mission rarely survives the reality of corporate structures designed for different purposes. This isn’t just about ice cream – it’s about fundamental questions facing every entrepreneur who wants to build a business that stands for something.

Creative Confidence: Building Authentic Expression Through Coaching

Creative Confidence: building authentic expression through coaching.

In my latest blog post, I explore how the Creative You programme helps individuals move from being “terrified” to “much more open” about sharing their creative work.

Drawing from recent client feedback, I’ve identified three key elements that unlock creative potential:
• Finding authentic alignment with your unique creative voice
• Embracing the power of conscious pausing in the creative process
• Building sustainable momentum through flexible, personalized support

As your coach, I provide both the permission and accountability to make creative pauses intentional rather than avoidant, helping you layer ideas and return to projects with fresh perspective.

This post complements last week’s exploration of my Wayfinder programme – together they represent two paths toward meaningful personal transformation.

Ready to bring your creative project to life? Book a free “Toe in the Water” call to explore how the Creative You programme might support your journey.

It’s Not About Me

When someone reacts strongly to us, our instinct is to take it personally. But what if we flipped the script? In my latest blog, I explore how the simple mantra ‘It’s not about me’ can transform confrontations into opportunities for understanding. By removing ego from the equation, we paradoxically gain more power and agency in difficult situations. Read more about how this perspective shift has changed my approach to professional relationships over the past decade.

Come Inside: what actually happened

Come Inside: An Experiment in Intimate Conversation

This afternoon I’m trying something new – inviting eight people to “Come Inside” for an intimate conversation about small experiments. No agenda beyond curiosity. No outcomes beyond connection.
