I am delighted to share that my new book, Understanding Human Behaviour in a Complex World: Applying the Six Stages Framework to Navigate Difference, Challenge and Change, is now available in paperback and hardback.
The book begins with a simple idea:
Behaviour is not fixed. It moves.
What we see on the surface is rarely the whole picture. Behaviour may be shaped by experience, emotion, identity, belonging, perceived safety, power, opportunity, relationships, culture and systems.
The Six Stages Framework offers a way of slowing down our interpretations and asking different questions.
Rather than only asking:
What is wrong with this person?
we might ask:
What might I not yet be seeing?
Rather than simply asking:
How do we change their behaviour?
we might ask:
What conditions are shaping this behaviour?
And rather than seeing human responses as fixed, we can begin to notice direction of travel.
Are responses moving towards greater curiosity, reflection, understanding, responsibility and transformational action?
Or towards avoidance, dismissal, hostility, blame, entrenchment and harm?
Across the book I explore these questions through neurodiversity, gender, race, poverty and class, identity and power, bullying and harmful behaviour, psychological safety, leadership and systems.
The book is not about telling people what to think.
It is an invitation to look beneath behaviour, notice context and power, take impact seriously, remain accountable, and ask:
What are our responses helping to make possible?
