Beyond the work
Volunteer & Human Impact
Teaching, mentoring, supporting and helping people move forward beyond formal professional engagements.
This section exists because some of the work I care most about was not paid for and has no client to name. Teaching, mentoring, answering the question after the session ends, helping somebody shape an idea into something they can actually sell. None of it belongs on a list of paid work, yet leaving it out would give a false picture of how I spend my time.
The profiles below are published under rules I set before collecting any of them. A person appears here only with their consent. Their statement is in their own words, as they wrote them, and nothing has been rewritten to read better. Where someone supplied documentation of their own business activity, it is shown as what it is and dated, so it is never mistaken for a result the programme produced. Where I do not have something, the section is left out rather than filled in.
It is a small number of people, shown properly, rather than a large number shown vaguely.
