a coaching space to find stable footing and break new ground
Hello, I’m Alex Murdoch. I’m an actor and a playwright and I also support people in the arts and culture – using the tools of coaching, mentoring and democratic practices such as Action Learning and Open Space technology.
The New Ground is a space born out of the volatile and uncertain moment we are living in. Under pressure it’s hard to do our best thinking. What’s needed is space to press pause, dig a little deeper and get some perspective.
kind words from people I’ve worked with.
