I help organisations anticipate the narrative of tomorrow and act with courage today. I do it by opening difficult conversations with kindness and humour. Not to unsettle, but to find where we've fallen out of step, and what it takes to find the groove again. My mission is to help change the narratives that keep us unhappy, at war, and at odds with nature.

I often joke that I'm a narrative architect until I find a "real" job. In the meantime, I don't write the messages. I design the story underneath them. That starts with positioning: helping organisations find their own voice and place in the band, so they can play alongside partners and whole movements and still sound like one song. Sometimes that means telling clients, kindly, that nobody is dancing. Not because they don't want to, but because the song is wrong.

In 2023 I founded Last Kind Words, named after a 1930 blues song I dreamt about six months before I ever heard it. I felt it first and understood it later, which is exactly how the stories that change things work. Yet most organisations are still holding on to the rational case hoping that the feeling follows if they just hold on tight enough. It rarely does.

That's why, when we work together, your team will move together before it thinks together. Yes, there will be dancing. No, I don’t make exceptions for the Board. We need them moving too.

I learned all this over two decades in very different rooms, from post-war Kosovo to New York, Vienna, Geneva, Brighton and Brussels. I work in English, Albanian and Serbian, and speak French and Spanish. My body speaks and dances the blues.
