Reset and Refresh


Reset and refresh

Why hello Reader,

Welcome to my new look newsletter!

The theme of the past month has been taking stock, reflecting, and resetting direction as we approach the end of the year.

I've begun this process early, as I'll be taking most of December off for a refreshing trip to the south island of Aotearoa (New Zealand). In a few short weeks I'll be soaking in hot springs, stargazing in a Dark Sky Reserve, spelunking to visit glow worms, and taking in the awesome sight of Millford Sound.

In the meanwhile, I'm busily bringing together some exciting new products for the new year:

In Reset and Refresh: Your new beginning I'll be your guide as you work through a foresight process to step into 2023 with clarity and conviction.

Want to stretch your thinking about what the future may hold? Flash Futures is the subscription for you! Each episode offers:

  • a short scenario from a possible future
  • questions to help you tease out what it means for you, and what (if anything) you should do about it
  • pockets of this future you can see in the present
  • an invitation to be reminded of your responses (perfect if you want to hold yourself accountable for turning these insights into action).

Flash Futures will launch in the coming weeks - watch this space as I'll be sharing an episode here...

Want 6 months free access? I'll be offering a few lucky subscribers six months access free of charge! The catch? I want to learn about how you put these scenarios into practice, and share your approach as a case study.

Does this like your idea of a good time?


⌛Refresh & Reset: Final day to join!⌛

Bringing together foresight and creative practice, Refresh & Reset is an eight day program to help you take stock of where you are and how you want to shape 2023.

Suitable for all levels of creative experience - no particular skills or special materials required.


Until next time
