Why I Created Boulder in the Stream
My life has revolved around water - rivers, tides, currents; noticing how shaped we are by things barely within our control.
Across my career - in the corporate sphere, in family business, in periods of growth and difficult change - I often found myself wishing for, needing, something I couldn’t quite name at the time: a space where I could think and explore without pressure; a conversation that slowed the rush long enough for clarity to surface; someone who would listen without an agenda.
That kind of mentoring wasn’t available to me. So I built the thing I needed.
It began with a simple belief: we don’t struggle because we lack intelligence or drive. We struggle because the pace of modern working life leaves no room to understand what’s really shaping our decisions.
I wanted to create the space I never had - a place to examine patterns, questions, blind spots, hopes, doubts, and the quieter truths that rarely make it into everyday conversation. Neither therapy nor consultancy; just a grounded, candid partnership that helps us see ourselves and our situations more clearly.
How I Work
My approach is shaped by:
- Years inside organisations where the spoken issue was rarely the real issue
- Seeing how unseen pressures shape choices more than strategy ever does
- A belief that the right question at the right moment can shift everything
I don’t offer formulas or recycled advice. I offer presence, perspective and the kind of inquiry that reveals what’s been influencing you all along.
Why the Stream?
The metaphor is honest. We all exist within fast waters. But every stream has boulders - solid points that hold their place, change the flow and create calmer water in their wake.
Mentoring gives you that same grounding: moments to stand still, see clearly, and choose what shapes you rather than be worn down by the factors around you.
What You Can Expect
Thoughtful challenge
Quiet honesty
Conversations that respect both your reality and your potential.
A partner who understands how difficult - and how freeing - real clarity can be.
If This Resonates?
You don’t need perfectly formed goals. Just the sense that something important needs attention. That’s where we begin the work.
