I’m a sustainability professional and developed MBOE to address the contemporary crisis of wellbeing, economy, and environment.

I played a key role establishing the Oxford Mindfulness Centre (OMC) and worked as Development Manager until 2012. I designed and delivered the ‘Frantic World’ programme for the workplace based on the best-selling book, Mindfulness: A Practical Guided to Finding Peace in the Frantic World, by Professor Mark Williams and Dr Danny Penman. This practice experience led me to suspect that educational content, describing lived experience, and listening skills played a key role in the programme’s impact. He created MBOE to exploit these functions as organisational change.
