I have selfish motives.

I’d like to live in a world…

…where my food is grown without chemicals.

…where my clothes are made by people earning a reasonable wage in decent working conditions.

…where we take care of each other.

…where business people can make a profit doing interesting, unconventional things that they love.

…where organisations that are doing great things can find the support they need to do more great things.

I figure the best way for me to live in this kind of world is to help the people running those businesses and organisations. To show them how to grow their structures and systems and people in a way that aligns with their values.

Ultimately, I believe the unconventional will become the norm. Until then, I’m here to help you make the change and be the change.

Other things about me (at random).

My name is Kim Wood.

I trained to be an air traffic controller (trust me – you’re safer without me in that job).

I started and managed a community bartering system.

I’ve been loudly ‘SHOOSHED’  by a guard in Lenin’s tomb, in front of Lenin himself. (That’s Lenin, not Lennon. The one in Red Square, Moscow.)

I was CEO of a not for profit for seven years – providing education and support to primary health practitioners.

My formative years were the hippie / counterculture and punk soaked seventies – my beliefs largely stem from these times.  Consequently, I’ve long thought of myself as a visitor to the system, not an inhabitant.

Music – lots of it, every day please.  When I was 15 I planned to be the female equivalent of Jimmy Page and played guitar for hours every day. Then punk came along….  Stand out live musical experiences in my life have been The Clash, Bob Marley and Youssou N’Dour.

I’m a lapsed permaculturalist just finding my way back (just started my urban food forest).

I live in Australia, but work with people from around the globe.

I’m absolutely thrilled by our world wide connection technology. It reinforces my belief that the world is full of amazing, creative, wild and wonderful people. Now I can connect with lots of them. Including you.

So, let’s get to know each other better: you can tweet me, email me or just give me a call (look in the sidebar).
