Long before "Agile" was an everyday business term, working as an Architect, a Radio and TV News Broadcaster, and B2B Sales & Marketing Executive, even when as someone else's employee, I've always seen myself as working for myself. With one foot inside and the other outside the corporate wall.

Working as part of fast-paced teams, where things are always rapidly changing.

Organizational work environments where effective collaboration requires team members with strong Self-Leadership to effectively deal with constantly and rapidly changing circumstances. Work environments where plans quickly become useless, but where planning is always essential and inescapable.

I’ve learned how to thrive and flourish in the face of chaos and uncertainty. Using little known Right-Brain Thinking tools and techniques I have discovered and tested over the years that have helped me and others strengthen and develop their personal Self-Agility, to make better decisions faster.

My skepticism of relying only on organizations to show me the way forward began when I was asked to leave a respected progressive Architecture School I was studying at for my being too creative. Or when belonging to a trade union supposedly serving and protecting my interests prevented me from working because I had exceeded the union's annual day-count quota. Or when a Bankruptcy Court accepted unquestioned obviously fraudulent evidence that kept me in "bankruptcy jail" for twenty years.

Throughout it all I have always been guided by an understanding and faith that something larger was at play, some unseen dimension beyond the edge of current reality that was there for me to access, when only when I chose to ask for it.

What is Self-Agility?
Self-Agility means being flexible with my understanding of who I think I am, and being flexible with how I manage my relationship with the world around me. Self-Agility requires being willing to let go of what’s known to make room for discovering what’s yet-to-be. Being Self-Agile frees me from being held back by old ingrained habits of thinking and action, freeing me from having to rely on only best practices, and the tried and the true. Enabling me to uncover previously unknown options that work even better.

Rather than being paralyzed by uncertainty, or just blindly copying what everyone else is doing, being Self-Agile lets me confidently move forward without necessarily having to know where I'm going to end up, or how even I'm exactly going to get there. Self-Agility empowers my decision-making, constantly reviewing, revising and becoming more clear about where I think I want to go next, and why. By exercising my Self-Agility I get to comfortably re-create certainty from uncertainty.

What is Human Intelligence Coaching?
My Human Intelligence Coaching is based on Clean Coaching:
• A space to explore what’s on my mind, without having to focus on coming up with solutions
• Yet still find solutions, often to problems I didn’t even know I had
• Get deeper results in less time
• Make better decisions faster
• Discover the real problems I want to work on (beyond the ones I think I do)
• Gain greater clarity about why I want what I want, and who the person is that wants them
• Be more authentically comfortable "inside my skin"
• A space free of worry and anxiety about delivering results for anyone else but me

I was introduced to Clean Language during the pandemic by the Toronto Agile software development community as a quick and simple way to access valuable previously unknown information. Being “clean” means asking questions in ways that minimize my assumptions I might make about the answers I am going to get, and about what I think those answers I do get might mean.

Clean Coaching is based on the Clean Language way of asking questions developed by the late David Grove in the 1980s and 90s, which has continued to evolve as increasing numbers of people around the world find value from applying it.

Clean Coaching is analysis-free, enabling the uncovering of fresh actionable insights and solutions more quickly than other coaching methods by putting my clients in charge, allowing unrecognized issues to naturally, safely and easily surface on their own.

Making possible immediate fresh understanding and empowerment about what you would like to have happen. Opening inner doorways to vast reaches of as-yet unknown knowledge sources, where the exact right new needed insights get to emerge and be revealed at exactly the right time.

I've found the Clean Language way of looking at the world to be a really quick and fast direct route to accessing my Human Intelligence, to take charge of my Self-Leadership, and unleash the native Self-Agility within me.

In addition to my benefiting from Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) programs, my fascination with the capabilities of Clean Language led me to study with and become a graduate of the Clean Coaching ICF Certification program offered by UK-based Clean Learning. 

It’s this allowing of previously unknown knowledge to come forth and emerge that forms the basis of my Human Intelligence Coaching.
AI (‘Artificial’ Intelligence) can only ever work with the knowledge it's been fed, which can only ever be information about what’s already known about what’s already happened, never mind just that that’s been recorded (which clearly can never be everything).

Self-Agility Human Intelligence Coaching lets me access resources AI doesn't even know exist.
