EIGHT TRIDENTS

Three Paths. One Philosophy
The Vegvísir — the Norse compass I chose as the logo for Eight Tridents — was once believed to guide Viking navigators safely through rough weather and unfamiliar waters. Not just to reach a destination, but to arrive where they were truly meant to be. That idea — navigating by deeper intention, even when the path ahead is unclear — has become foundational for me.
With all that’s spinning in the world, it’s easy to believe the answer is to run faster, harder. But the work here isn’t that. It’s about slowing down enough to catch up with yourself — your leadership, your purpose, and the rhythm of what truly matters.
This isn’t about stepping away from ambition. It’s about anchoring it in meaning. Because in a landscape that feels both more opportune and more demanding than ever, clarity of direction begins within. When we navigate life, leadership, and business from deeper alignment, ambition, success, and fulfilment aren’t competing forces — they can, and should, thrive together.
And that’s the essence of transition and transformation: moving from one version of yourself, your leadership, or your business to the next — not by accident, but with intention and awareness.
Each shift we make, individually or collectively, becomes part of something larger — a living system that moves, learns, and evolves through us.
Below you’ll find three gateways:
Coaching — for the mid-transitions of life and leadership — exploring from the inside out, finding clarity, and setting a true compass forward.
Leadership — to co-create the leadership our time calls for — adaptive, human, and alive in motion.
Hospitality — to bring purpose and presence into place — creating experiences that move people and stand the test of time.
Different paths. One philosophy.
Each an invitation to navigate by your own compass — and arrive where you’re truly meant to be.

The journey is yours — but it doesn’t need to be walked alone.
“True collaboration isn’t about piecing together existing ideas—it’s about creating something new, something that didn’t exist until everyone entered the room.”
