An Update
Three years is a long time in the “attention economy,” but it is a heartbeat in the life of a grapevine.
Since stepping back from the front lines, I’ve been dividing my time between the energy of Mosman (Sydney) and the rhythm of my farm on Mitchells Island. Between planting vines and rescuing a weed-infested sub-tropical rainforest, I’ve realized something:
I have retired from a role, but I haven’t retired from the mission.
Our world needs more people with integrity, long-term mindsets and the authenticity to build trust. My book, Big Fixes, was about the “gift” one generation pays to the next. Now, I want to deliver that gift more personally.
I am re-emerging not as a consultant or executive, but as a mentor and provocateur.
My plan is to help the next generation of leaders cultivate the “personal grit” required to shape businesses that take responsibility for their future and the legacy of decisions. I’m interested in the “Small Fix”—the daily acts of stewardship that build towards a better culture and mindsets that forge out more successful businesses and communities that adapt and thrive.
How can I help you?
If you are a:
- Frustrated Reformer: Struggling with a broken system or a short-term culture.
- Rising Leader: Looking for the ‘grit’ to lead with integrity.
- Long-Term Thinker: Working on projects that won’t bear fruit for years.
….then it would be my privilege to help.
When you are seeking more from your role, struggling with a “broken” system, trying to champion a long-term project then you may well need a sounding board. I am opening my time for conversation because your concerns and aspirations matter, more than you might realise.
For me, every year now counts more than ever. So, this offer isn’t made lightly; it’s a recognition that while roles change, our mission is a constant companion and its your pathway to being on the right side of change and stewardship.
The “Ripples on a Lake” are starting. Let’s make sure they’re the right ones.
Much of this website is an archive of my writing, but I am more concerned with hearing from you.
I encourage you to email me garrybowditch@gmail.com What is your mission right now? Does it need a nudge or a complete overhaul?
Again, welcome.
Paying Forward to Future Generations: How infrastructure can do more
Infrastructure decisions act like ripples on a lake, radiating out in time and space that can both help and hinder future generations. The quality of those decisions is set here and now.

Happy 90th to an Aussie Icon – Sydney Harbour Bridge
A version of this article was published online in the Australian Financial Review on 19-20 March 2022. As Sydneysiders celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (SHB) this weekend, we do so with gratitude for the fantastic benefits of our ‘coat hanger’ in Sydney and Australia. However, let’s also reflect on what we need…
