About Roddy

VIDEO: Anthropology, Africa, Oxford and tools for personal growth and wellbeing

My focus has always been on personal growth and wellbeing - to enrich life with purpose and improve emotional intelligence.


My passion for anthropology and travel, including living in Africa for twenty years,   allowed me to gain cultural and academic insights, which I now use to facilitate  transformational workshops and enhance my writing.

 

In the 1990s I became a specialist anthropological guide and have travelled widely ever since, learning from people in many different cultures.


Working with PhD students at Oxford I developed ways to facilitate thought-provoking, concise workshops, with an emphasis upon privacy and non-prescription, that enable personal growth to improve wellbeing.

​

I share ideas, frameworks and skills that I have found useful, create space  and encourage ownership of wellbeing and a personal growth mindset.


As the popularity of these workshops spread around the Univeristy, and feedback and data came in, the effectiveness of this approach became clear, and I have worked widely at Oxford ever since with staff and students. My work has also expanded to Cambridge, several other UK universities and internationally.​
