The book

I Did Get a Pizza, Though.

Before the biopsy, they promised me pizza. After the biopsy, I did get a pizza. Everything in between is the book. Chapters appear as notes first.

The notes

A note every two weeks.

No tips. No sermon. What happened, and sometimes what I think about it. Free to read.

One email a fortnight. Leave whenever you like.

Keynotes

I give keynotes.

For leadership teams, and for healthcare and AI audiences. Same thing underneath: what gets missed when a system only counts what it can measure, and what a person in the room can hear that a machine can't.

  • What Only You Can Feel (leaders, HR, wellbeing and DEI teams)
  • What AI Can't Hear. Humanity in Healthcare in the Age of AI (digital health, pharma, hospital leadership, data science)
  • Workshop: The Room (teams of up to about 30)
