a different way Limited is my for-profit social enterprise.

It hosts adifferentway community, a subscription-based community for change-makers and social entrepreneurs where I share practical knowledge and information gained from my more than three decades working at the forefront of change processes. I share information about my experience that community members can use in their own contexts. There is one-on-one mentoring and coaching.

I also offer advisory services to clients needing support on a range of challenges.

If you’d like to learn more about adifferentway community, please visit the community landing page. If you’d like to speak about challenges you’re facing and how I might help, then please get in touch via scott@adifferentway.life

Why a different way?

I have always sought to do things differently from the status quo. If things need changing, then the status quo isn’t working, we need a different way. In the last 5 or so years, I was introduced to the Tao Te Ching, written by Lao Tzu more than 2,500 years ago, with its concept of ‘the way.’ I feel that my way of working is somewhat aligned with this way, and though it’s impossible to ever truly know the way, calling my company a different way is acknowledgement that I’d like to explore the way as deeply possible - without actually doing so, as in ‘not-doing’ which is an essential element of the way. If that makes sense! Being aware of the way is a lifelong journey, but the knowledge of the way is enlightening and uplifting and I believe very strongly that the Tao contains much wisdom that can help us be in the world in such a way that we might leave it a better place than we found it. That’s why my company is called, a different way.
