From one street fighter to another, the expedition continues, albeit, the landscape has changed.

Priority and value for sustainable wellbeing in life, work and play has grown exponentially; never more so than during the last fifteen months. From corporate to government, society, communities, workplace, at home, in leadership and for the man/woman in the street – responding to the wellbeing of humanity and the planet has exploded in relevance and priority.

The game-changer is the definitive and irrefutable weave of wellbeing – from macro segments (economy, society, environment, tech, geopolitical) to grass-rooted lifestyle choices. The silos of yesteryear are gone and the lens of wellbeing culture embodies every aspect of how we live, work, play and love. This matters because it highlights what whole person, whole-business, whole-society, whole-community really means, it is alignment, connection and conscious purpose. It means joining the dots between personal and professional; it means investment that matches values. It means company and government policies that support and inspire optimised wellbeing. It means those policies being embedded in operational practice.  It means consciousness for people and planet, as well as profit. It means every person being seen, heard and feeling that they belong. Some brands and businesses are leading with solid and responsive change but the gap remains.

Consciousness in society and business begins with leaders valuing themselves enough to nurture and nourish their own state of wellbeing; they’re doing so knowing that the more connected and present they are, the greater their capacity to deliver a vision for a re-imagined future – it is in the recalibration, transformation, raised consciousness and re-set that the gap will be closed.

I’m fortunate to live between London and the Northumbrian coast. My northern home is right on the beach so campfires and thought provoking evenings have been both my balm and my anchor over the years. Last summer I took to wild sleeping – that is, finding some woodland, putting up a hammock and bedding down for the night, completely immersed in the earth's flora and fauna.  Nature’s medicine for the soul.

Keeping it simple also keeps it real. A question that was put to me twelve years ago has stayed with me to this day, have a read and a ponder;

“If having everything you ever wanted meant giving up everything you've ever achieved, would you still do it?” Anon

So, would you? It isn't an easy question. You may read it and dismissively say, of course! Not so fast. The more you think about this question, the deeper you're forced to consider what it is you truly want. And, equally, what you may have to give up to get it. There have been countless times in the past decade that I have almost abandoned the entrepreneurial life but I strove to dig deep, I made sacrifices, and got cosy with my own personal candour. What life means and represents can be recrafted - personal transformation in a world of metamorphosis. The time is now – will you do it?
