About
Out Beyond Ideas brings together all of the wellbeing strands in my life to create a positive ripple in human consciousness and help people on the journey to rediscover their true selves.
Out Beyond Ideas comes from a famous Rumi quote taken from his poem, A Great Wagon:
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
This simple, but powerful couple of sentences beautifully describes what this site aims to be. A small island in the internet without the distraction of drama, click-bait, adverts, doom-scrollable content, politics and judgement. An island with light hearted and thoughtful content, created by humans with lived experience. An island full of practical help for anyone searching for ways to make their life better. An island where the only monetisation is from our members subscribing, if they can afford it.
I'm passionate about creating a bit of joy and laughter in this bonkers world we live in. Out Beyond Ideas brings together all of the things I'm doing to satisfy that passion.
Beyond Ideas Blog & Newsletter
In a world where the internet seems to be full of confrontation, drama and more than a little bit of despair, the blog aims to be a small island of common sense, calm and kindness that makes you smile, think and helps you find your true self.
Training, Keynotes & Workshops
I offer a range of training options for businesses, local and central government and the NHS through the Art of Brilliance. If you're looking for a keynote, workshop, or entire wellbeing programme, delivered in person or virtually, get in touch and we can put together a package that works for your organisation.
To find out more about what we do at Art of Brilliance and the fantastic team of trainers we have, pop and have a look at the website.
Coaching, Mentoring & Culture Change
Whether you are looking for practical support in putting wellbeing and resilience at the centre of your culture, or are looking for one to one coaching, I can help you to implement the culture change needed to move you from surviving to thriving.
Community Support
I've been delivering keynotes and workshops for over 10 years and know only too well that it can be hard to implement all the stuff we talk about when you have life to contend with as well.
That's why I started 'The Buzz' - Art of Brilliance's online wellbeing community on WhatsApp. So if you fancy some company on the journey to rediscover your true self, come and join us.
Leadership, The Multiplier Effect
I had the honour of writing probably the funniest and simplest book you will find in the Leadership section of any bookshop with Dr. Andy Cope and Jonathan Peach (JP). Available from all good bookshops and maybe even some dodgy ones.
Leadership, The Multiplier Effect and many other books, along with t-shirts, posters and lots of other cool stuff are available from Art of Brilliance's Happiness Shop.
