I’ve been publishing my free Gurteen Knowledge Letter every month since May 2000, sharing ideas, reflections, and insights on knowledge, conversation, and learning. My Knowledge Café
, a space for meaningful discussions, marked its 22nd anniversary in September 2024. This blook, an evolving collection of my work, has also been freely available since July 2015.
If my work has sparked your interest, helped you in some way, or simply given you something to think about, you might consider supporting it. A small contribution helps cover website hosting costs and ensures these resources remain freely accessible to everyone.

We are living and working in conditions of uncertainty, complexity, and rapid change. Many leadership approaches still rely on control, expertise, and tools that no longer fit the realities people face.
This week-long immersive workshop brings people together to practise Conversational Leadership as a shared, lived experience. It is not a training course but a space to slow down, think together, and explore how leadership emerges through dialogue, responsibility, and real engagement.
