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 mid-north coast of New South Wales. 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.

We all have these qualities in us if we create the space to nurture and develop our own unique practice of stewardship. My book, Big Fixes, is about the “gift” one generation pays to the next when stewardship is present in our lives. 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” to stay focused on what is genuinely important to your wellbeing and career. I’m especially interested in the “Small Fix”—the daily acts of stewardship that build towards a better you, and how you shape better cultures and mindsets.

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.

I am opening my time for conversation because your concerns and aspirations matter, more than you might realise. 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 an independent, arms length sounding board to help navigate the way forward.

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 that requires careful attention, so it stays on track.

Our actions, decisions and choices in life matter, and they definitely make ripples that radiate outwards. So let’s make sure they’re the right ones.

Much of this website is an archive of my writing about long termism and stewardship; but I am more concerned with hearing from you about your challenges and opportunities to make a positive, long term and meaningful difference.

I encourage you to email me garrybowditch@gmail.com

Again, welcome.
