Use 6-sided Hexagon Action Simplicity Principle for greater focus and productivity and to overcome the enormous anxiety of the Covid era.

The Simplicity Principle book and podcast are both available online

If you are feeling anxious and overwhelmed by the rising uncertainty around the months ahead, I’m there with you.

It took me into my sixth decade before I found my voice and realised that how I approached life in business and management, as a consultant, adviser and counsel was helpful to others and indeed myself. Why? Because I keep my advice simple and straightforward, and above all, I seek to cut through complexity.

During this last decade I have help raise three children and two step-children into adulthood, launched two new businesses and started a writing and academic career, started a UK non-profit but also recovered from a brush with death; grieved the death of my father, and seen my best friend be diagnosed with a deadly disease: I bet any of you reading this have a similar full life, juggling highs and lows, hardships and joy.

SIMPLICITY IS YOUR GAME-CHANGING STRATEGY

The heart of what I have learned is that adopting simplicity as a strategy is a truly unique and useful approach to overcoming the overload and anxiety of our time.
