About
The day job
I'm a fractional leader and independent consultant. I work best at the intersection of Strategy, Operations & Delivery.
You can visit my career portfolio page to find out more.
GovCamp Cymru
I'm a core team member ("campmaker") of GovCamp Cymru, an unconference for people interested in reimagining public services in Wales. I focus on the delivery, governance and finance aspects in the planning and promitional stages. On the day it tends to be all hands on deck!
I've been volunteering for a few years, now, with a break in 2024 because my work commitments didn't affort me the time to participate, but I'm back again for 2025.
Poetry
I'm a published poet (a long time ago) and am trying to get a second book of poetry completed, and hopefully published in 2026. The working title for the new book is "Earworms and Emotions".
I'm also working on a reprint of "Getting it out of my System", with additional commentary.
The Ode Map
The Ode Map is my writing blog.
(Re)launched on 1st May 2025, this is where I write about my tips & tricks, writing inspiration, and how I manage the process of writing.
I'm also sharing works in progress and complete poems, there, too, occasionally.
