  • I commit to work towards the deliverables laid out in the Request For Proposal and any others my clients might request.

The strange attractor better known as the Butterfly Effect illustrating Lorentz’work

The strange attractor

“In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the metaphorical example of the details of a hurricane being influenced by minor perturbations such as the flapping of the wings of a distant butterfly several weeks earlier.” (Wikipedia)
Using creative ways of working, we can access deeper insights and possibilities. It allows us to work at a deeper level than simply our cognitive or rational capacity – an imaginative and powerful way to increase perspectives on your work. You can gain the confidence in turn to invite your clients to access their inner knowing through the use of imagination and intuition. It balances being with doing, enabling us to discover how to make masterful interventions simply and profoundly.
