About this title

About the Author

I initially discovered my outer purpose at around 8 years old, when I developed an insatiable appetite for taking things apart. Anything from alarm clocks and radios to bicycles and lawnmowers. My parents often provided the right incentive for putting them back together again, affording even more learning.

On completing a degree in electrical and electronic engineering, I threw myself into designing the hardware and software to control a variety of applications from networking computers, to digital effects for film and TV.

At around 30 I found myself working abroad having set up a new business, selling and marketing technology across southern Europe. A number of commercial roles followed culminating in a leadership role with a global remit.

Looking back on this period I see clearly that it was instrumental in teaching me how organisations and the people within them worked. 

I studied personal development, psychology, metaphysics, yoga, coaching and leadership, meeting many remarkable minds en route. I balanced my learning of the outer world with insights into my inner world through reflection, contemplation and meditation. Far from being incompatible, as I had feared, they quickly became integrated - I could no longer make sense of the world of people and organisations without reference to my own inner world. The hermetic expression, As Above, So Below, showed the way.

Soon I was working with leaders, directors and senior managers of many different shapes and sizes of organisation - multinationals, bluechips, government, universities, charities, and small businesses. I found the same dynamics at play in all of them. All of them subject to many of the symptoms and causes explored in this book. All of them potentially able to change for the better through looking inward, as well as outward.

Today, a feeling of awe at the world we inhabit, and our own existence, swamps any pride in what I've learnt - the more I learn, the more I realise how little I know.
