Brave Reflections: Winter is Coming, but so too is Spring

New Era Leadership: Destroyer, Preserver and Regenerator

Hello , my fellow pioneer


Have you recently hit a wall?


Like many, world events, constant worrying news, and non-stop work since May have left me feeling drained and anxious about our collective future.


Taking a week to reset (including a rather bracing barefoot walk on Holy Island's causeway at -2°C!) brought unexpected clarity: we're not just facing change, we're transitioning between eras.


What I've observed is this:

- We're moving from the Preserver Era (maintaining systems) 

- Through the current Destroyer Era (dismantling without rebuilding)

- Towards a Regenerator Era (where compassionate leaders will build anew)


The exciting part? Regenerative Leadership is already emerging. It's about authentic connection to purpose while maintaining our humanity - something I believe is crucial as we navigate these challenging times.


How does this resonate with you? I'd love to hear your thoughts


I'd love to explore this further with you. You can :

1. A Walk and Talk in the Cheviot foothills on 4th January, ending with a beverage of your choice by the fire at The Border Hotel

2. Read more about New Era Leadership on my new blog page

3. Have an online catch up to discuss what this means for your leadership journey

Or just reply to this with your thoughts.


Here's to your brilliance,

P.S. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is allow ourselves to just be exactly who we are.
