My story
For 15 years I was a professional “fixer” — an OD leader specialising in global change. On paper, a picture of success. In reality, operating behind a shield I built when I was four years old.
The logic: I had to be unimpeachable to be worthy. The cost: total isolation, and a TIA at 31.
Now I document the journey back. Live, every 2 weeks.
