"Creative Climate Leadership with Julie’s Bicycle is a transformative process of being ‘more mushroom’ together. It generates a powerful energy for stepping into, committing and being accountable to each other for action on environment, social justice and economic change. And like all intelligent systems - one part moves, all parts move."
About
Jackie invites and disrupts organisations, publics and individuals to explore, learn, think and act collectively, within complex systemic environments. This has seen her co-designing and delivering public programmes, innovation, leadership, learning and governance. She is motivated by the opportunities we have for co-creating regenerative and emergent futures. Her approach and practice is informed by collective and distributed leadership models, coaching, design thinking, activism, liberating structures and somatic inquiry. She has worked with Cape Farewell International, European Capital of Culture 08, Shift Festival Southbank Centre, Wandsworth Arts Team, Yorkshire Dance, National College of Art and Design, Fire Station Artists Studios, Creative Scotland, Clore Leadership.
Project Highlights
Keynote Panel: Curating the Civic Space in Climate Emergency
In 2021 I co-designed and delivered Clore Leadership’s fourth annual conference on governance for cultural trustees and professionals, presented on behalf of the CGA and in association with Inc. Arts and Arts Council England. I led on the conference design, content and curation of speakers so that delegates could navigate through and participate in conversations on Race and Decolonisation, Sustainability and Climate Emergency, and Ableism and Disability in relation to their governance priorities, practices and cultures.

Climate Coaching Alliance Festival
Since training with Active Hope (Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone) in 2021/22 I collaborate with an interdisciplinary peer group to explore and adapt key practices from the training as radical and connective processes and interventions for group facilitation, coaching and networking. In 2023 we shared a practice at the Climate Coaching Alliance Festival, a global gathering of climate coaches working to support coaches to navigate the paradoxes, and paradigms in climate coaching and disrupt ‘business as usual.
Common Knowledge
An ecology project I worked on a decade ago that’s close to my heart because it tapped into and connected the invisible mycelia of so many aspects of life in Tooting at the time and rendered them visible: the different communities of people living around the Common, the radical social histories and heritage, creativity, volunteering, sensory experience and an upsurge and appetite for outdoor learning.
