Courageous Change
Updated: Dec 24, 2018
In the Wizard of Oz, the lion is impressively brave to say that he is scared, when everyone expects him to be fearless. Life is paradox. Intrepid Intentions is about supporting you to find the courage that already exists within your struggles and to fulfil your potential in a way that is true to yourself.

I am passionate about sustainability and regeneration, and more specifically the sustainability of human interactions; with ourselves, couples, teams of people... transforming conflict into insight and effectiveness. I love nothing more than being asked to share what I learn with the intention of bringing more harmony and clarity to the world. A life-changing decision to travel solo round the world and blog about learning from mental health challenges has led me deeper and deeper on a path of self-discovery, and life is compelling me to continue to share my learning and insights for the benefit of others.
It may look as though I have confidence and know what I'm doing, but I promise you, I'm making this up as I go along. In my experience, there is a flaw in our perceptions of CONFIDENCE and COMPETENCE - we generally tend to assume that confidence is a sign of competence, but I often learn that this is not the case. Sometimes I do genuinely feel and seem confident, but I endeavour to be real instead of pretending.
I look forward to sharing more musings here!
