How much is too much to share in situations like this? And where does one begin? I recall trying to do something similar in my last job application where I was viscerally repulsed by the self-censoring and sanitation I thought was required. In honour of myself and you, this won't be like that.
I was born in 1985 in Scotland and lived a very free, loving and well-connected childhood. Other than the 4-year-old Adam's reply of "I will help a lot of people" to my Granny's question of “what would you like to be when you grow up”, there was no known awareness of my abilities until later in my teenage years.

As a child, I was naturally social, active and imaginative. It's fair to say school wasn't ideal for me. Yet I managed to get through it with a lot of clock watching and looking out the window. It was only after high school that I realised how much I love learning.
To communicate within a coherent story my career would somehow imply I knew what I was doing. I do and don't know in equal measure. Most days I simply have to trust. On the days that I don't, it's not pleasant. I do however sense a connection between all my explorations despite their apparent differences. I recall when invited to register the birth of our wonderful daughter I received a call from my wife. I knew she was somewhat displeased as I came to learn she had spent a considerable amount of time trying to explain what my occupation was to the clerk in our local offices. I will add at this point that I have done a lot of very different things in my short time here. The phone was passed to a somewhat frustrated civil servant who proceeded to respond to all of my occupational suggestions with “that's not in the box”. After about 5 minutes of explaining what it is that I was doing the clerk hung up on me. Around a month later a letter arrived where I discovered what I was. 'Fathers occupation - Public Speaker - Education'. Who knew?
I suppose this is a roundabout way of saying that I have done or been many things. If you are interested to learn more here is a link to my somewhat outdated Linkedin profile.
My abilities have been with me for a long time however their fullness has truly become known to me in the last 10 years. A frequent challenge I have faced in my life is I regularly feel I'm covering ground that is yet to find its language. This is one of those moments so hold lightly what I say as to speak of it inevitably reduces it to the known.
For most of my life, I have been able to sense a knowing and I have used this to connect with people and organisations to assist them in the best way possible. I understand that I have been entrusted with a perspective that is often far-reaching in time and often beyond what appears 'logical' in that moment yet in time reveals itself to be in higher service to all.
A good example of this would be that in 2018 I sensed a large shift was approaching in how we work, learn and govern. At the time I didn't really know when or why this would occur other than it had a relationship to the letters CO. Which at the time I thought may be related to CO2. This resulted in me creating a video facilitation platform with a focus on enabling citizen deliberation (an area I'm very passionate about) to become the mainstay of our democratic agency. My abilities have been very insightful when it comes to innovation, especially in service to a more regenerative way of being alive

I also experience what I would call medical mediumship where I feel in my own body the physical conditions of those I'm in contact with or with those that have transitioned. This is great for providing individuals with insight into their own healing or confirming the identity of a transitioned loved one yet it can be somewhat of a challenge when visiting a city for example. Yet I'm developing this all the time to discern what is and isn't mine.
Essentially my abilities work on all levels from hearing, seeing, and feeling, to knowing and I apply them in many ways to best serve the moment that is emerging. I combine them with my experience in facilitation, Peace Education, coaching, business and innovation. Sometimes it takes the form of being able to connect with a passed loved one to share a significant message that will provide confront, healing and clarity in that moment. Sometimes it's convening with ancestors' past and yet to arrive so to assist us in this transformative and delicate period in humanity's development. I'm here to serve the transition.
Inevitably stepping into my gifts has initiated me into exploring the edges of my own life. I have been very dedicated to my healing journey and tending to what is mine to do. I have spent a considerable amount of time navigating what consensus-held reality currently understands as depression and suicidal tendencies. As the lines between where I end and where heaven begins are very thin, my challenge has been one of accepting to be here and that I agreed to be. Yet I understand these experiences to be rich with meaning. I now know them to be of a significant contribution and I care to advance our cultural perceptions of them. The essence of this is that death does need to occur, yet this doesn't have to be connected to the physical body.

One more thing: I don't know where this fits in the flow of what I have shared however I will attempt to say it. When I say 'My abilities’ or 'My work' it claims some sort of ownership over it. This isn't my full intention. I do care to honour my significance and that of what I can uniquely do however I also care to speak of the assistance I'm offered. I work with a collective of guides both present and transitioned who assist me in this work. Words are unable to fully express their significance to me yet it is a truly beautiful relationship that continually amazes me in its majesty and sophistication.
