actions speak louder than words
'Creative Consultant of The Year 2025'
Having gained a 1st Class architecture degree and an MA from the Royal College of Art [RCA portfolio prize], I draw on my 30+ years experience as an international award winning artist [Paul Hamlyn Award], inventor [Guinness Book of Records], musician [British Composer of the Year in Sonic Art, with over 30 albums], film maker [Berlin Indie Film Fest 'Best Experimental Film' & 'Best Original Score], visiting professor in Sound Art, and popular all ages entertainer [UK Best Mobile DJ Award], to assist individuals and businesses in seeking creative solutions and working around problems, moving forwards. My diverse background and life experience provides me with a unique range of skills. Talking helps, and actions speak louder than words. I know from my own experience through challenging conventions and being self employed my entire life, that limitation breeds creativity, and deadlines rule. I encourage NVC compassionate communication to be kind to others, while offering in person, WhatsApp, or phone support to drive your own growth, development, and ambition to progress. I'm not a therapist nor a counsellor, but am often told I am a calm good listener. While I don't give 'advice', I do offer opinions, suggestions, strategies and support, and am an expert of lateral thinking. Along with active listening, I use a variety of imaginative techniques, and draw upon universal wisdoms, combined with my own experiences, learning and knowledge. If your life, or project, or workflow could do with moving forwards, by thinking creatively, then I can help. A sounding board. My ambition is to help you progress. I have been fortunate to have lectured, exhibited, and performed at venues in 30 countries [including Tate Modern, Sydney Opera House, Princeton Uni, Pompidou Centre, Whitney Museum NYC etc], and set up successful local businesses that help, educate, and entertain people. Both my parents persued a portfolio of careers; My father was a Theoretical Physicist, Professor of Ecological Physics [which he pioneered in the 60's 70's], and adventurer; my mother is a barrister and mediator, a former high fashion model & contemporary dancer, with her PhD in the psychology of learning. They are an inspiration to my own life choices, and ambition to help others. Having, represented myself as a Litigant in Person through the emotional rollercoaster of divorce, I understand the process, the experience, and in so doing came to NVC and also learned the benefit of direct dialogue in preference to costly solicitor letter writing. I have also passed through the existntial experience of a cancer. In both cases one of the lessons I learned was the benefit of continual support, which I found invaluauble. I view helping as a continual process and tailor how to do that best to suit your situation whatever the type of creative or personal support you may be considering. My work draws on this unique skillset, in order to focus on your personal potential or project aspirations, for a brighter future. It is an evolving process, with my input casting a light to guide your progress, with +ve intent! |
