I’m Dr Maren Deepwell and this is my domain on the open web. My interests span education and the not for profit sector and I bring creativity and curiosity to my work as a leader and a coach. With a background in Educational Technology, Anthropology and Fine Art I am as passionate about pen and paper as I am about the newest digital technologies and I write about everything from stationary to strategy. This blog, my podcast and my monthly newsletter are the best ways to connect and keep in touch with me.
I work as an independent consultant with organisations and (emerging) leaders in education and the not-for-profit sector as an executive trouble shooter, strategic advisor and coach. I specialise in authentic leadership and unconventional career development, digital wellbeing and sustainability. Find out more about my work and get in touch via my business site.

This time round my motivation is different, and more aligned to my desire to practice gratitude and to make the most of a busy,…
