About

You are probably here because something has changed and the version of you that used to run things no longer quite fits the circumstances. That gap is disorienting, and it is rarely discussed honestly, because everybody expects change to be exciting. You may also be quietly wondering why you are not enjoying it more. A new chapter usually involves a period of being nobody in particular, and that stretch is the part people find hardest. The old competence does not transfer and the new competence has not arrived. We work through that interval deliberately rather than waiting for it to pass, which shortens it a lot and makes it far less lonely while it lasts. I trained as a researcher before deciding I wanted the room rather than the data, which was itself a fairly disorienting change to make. I know the interval from the inside. If you are in it now, get in touch and we can look at it together.
