Steve – What interesting perspectives on your role as a consultant and using your talents as a photographer. I had noticed the ecological slant and have been fascinated by your “edges” theme. I remember having a conversation with one of my coaches about the meaning of that word – “edge”- from a personal and spiritual development point of view. For me that conjurs up so many different images, to do with activism, chaos, pushing boundaries, achieving growth…Very inspiring and stimulating!

Thanks to you both for contributing.

I really appreciate this post. I have been pursuing a PhD in organisation consulting for a while now (this is my last year – hurrah) and, as I inquire into my stance as a consultant, I realise that I am an activist. As a consultant I have always thought that I should provide a ‘neutral’ environment for my clients and that any decisions must be theirs alone. Now I realise that this isn’t enough for me.

The Joanna Macey quote is very helpful; I realise that the way I can become an eco-activist is to use my talents as a photographer. You have referred to my blog before but now you might detect an increasingly ecological slant and I have tackled the meaning of beautiful images of our coast line. Any further support your readers could offer either direct or onto the blog would be much appreciated! As you say, joining forces is really helpful!

All the best,

Steve
