The big idea
The challenges facing individuals and organizations today — uncertainty, rapid change, decision paralysis — are the same challenges we face on an adventure. But on an adventure, these challenges are addressed in real time, becoming fuel instead of fear. The Inner Adventure Mindset™ applies the outward challenge of adventure to our internal state to overcome persistent, seemingly insurmountable issues. This turns uncertainty into momentum — helping people step into new roles, collaborate to drive innovation, and reinvent what no longer works.
“68% of executives say they struggle to translate uncertainty into business decisions.”

“Barry stepped into a difficult situation at the non-profit I was involved with. As Chair of the Board, I had to ask the CEO to step away from his role, and Barry, who had been consulting with the company, was asked to step in. Barry brought in a clarity as to what needed to happen next, as well as a creative spark that allowed the tough circumstances to smooth out. He worked with the board as well as the outgoing CEO with grace, providing strong leadership mixed with gentle insistence. I’d recommend Barry for any business needing a committed professional as well as an extremely passionate presence.”
