Lou Mycroft has been working nomadically for several years now, guided by an ethics of joy.

She brings people together in community, to think, make decisions and implement plans which change cultures, choosing work based on Nesta UK’s 2018 definition of Good Help:

“…enabling people to feel hopeful, identify their own purpose and confidently take action.” 

She is a Thinking Environment facilitator, writer, public speaker and coach and her work translates well to online spaces. She is co-founder of the #JoyFE💛 movement and its influential ‘Ideas Rooms’. She has particular strengths around engagement, digital resilience and the creation of effective, bespoke culture change programmes. She tries to be joyfully militant in everything she does.

She is very interested in wellbeing, particularly mental health and developing personal agency (her first career was as a Public Health Specialist). She is a member of the @MHFECrowd and is currently developing new thinking around health, wellbeing and empowerment, particularly for women.

She has been nominated for an EduFuturist 2020 Award as a Staff Wellbeing Champion, even though she doesnt have a ‘staff’.

Martin Wells in Conversation with Mike Chitty

· March 1, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Ever since he was a child, Martin has stimulated real conversation, captured the insights of people and helped people share those insights with others. His innate curiosity led him to study and work in physics, IT, fibre optics, nucleonics, water treatment, project management and many more subjects.

His own personal quest to find out who the real Martin Wells is led him to study and work in human psychology, teaching, diversity and equality in health care and personal growth.

All of these things combined with exploring unique ways of using modern technologies continues to help him provide others with insights so that new possibilities can emerge.

Tony Piper

Tony is a coach based in London.

His coaching interests include:

  • leadership for reluctant or inexperienced leaders,
  • how to avoid (and recover from) burnout and
  • mental fitness and self-defence.

When he’s not coaching he can be found in the gym (post-pandemic), singing (post-pandemic) or out and about on his bike (especially during a pandemic).

I first met Tony nearly 30 years ago and this was our first proper conversation for a very long time. We explore stress and burnout and what recovery can look like among many other things.

Tony can be found at https://www.tonypiper.coach/ and on twitter as @tonypiper
