Paddy Loughman

Profile

I’m a strategist who works independently with efforts to face and facilitate change. Having spent a decade in brand and innovation consultancy, and a couple of years supporting the UNFCCC, I now work with civil society and philanthropy on narrative and culture change. I’m curious about what science and wisdom traditions reveal about complex relational reality, and what possibilities await us.
