Artist & Academic

I help teams connect and collaborate so they can get excited about working together.

Psychosocial Bravery

Collaborative teams need to feel safe enough to take a chance. However, our usual training methods aren’t up to the task. If you’re looking to do different things, you need to do things differently. I use Cognitive Science and Improvisation to deliver unique training experiences that engage, educate and transform teams. If it feels like a good fit for your team, let’s chat.

Nice words from nice people.

  • "Aden is an excellent facilitator, highly skilled at engaging a diverse group and creating a very safe space for participants to get out of their comfort zones."

    Bethan Winn, Human Skills Co

  • "Aden helped build my confidence in thinking on my feet, learn how to listen from a point of curiosity, and to bring out a fun inner child that used to only reveal itself after two beers."

    Michael Watts, Profit and Purpose Thought Leader

  • "Aden brings nice psychological insight into how fun works, and how it frees us up to play. His workshops and classes have plenty of meat to them, but remain playful."

    Louise Southalan, Wungening Aboriginal Corporation

  • "The skills I have developed with Aden's guidance have enabled me to have deeper conversations, build stronger relationships and tackle challenging negotiations."
