About me
Hi, I'm Katherine Long - the founder and lead consultant at Evolution OD.
I've been working in the area of people and organisation development since the mid 1990's, starting in international communications and cross-cultural awareness, international team building, then coaching, coach education and organisation development.
I spent a number of years with coach-training provider OCM, and helped to evolve organisational coach supervision which encouraged a joined up approach between coaches, OD and organisational strategy. I led the Masters in Coaching at the University of Warwick for a number of years, before deciding I wanted to go back to mainly being a practitioner!
About me
I've always known that regenerative, living systems, nature-based ways of thinking are needed in today's world, and it's been exciting to see the emergence of this paradigm in the last few years - not only in leadership and organisational development, but in design and construction, agriculture, finance, AI, education, and of course many other organisations with a sustainable and regenerative mission.
Alongside my leadership and organisation development work, I host an online learning and reflective practice community called Regenerative Confluence, and write a regular Regenerative Coaching and Organisation Development newsletter. I'm a Fellow and Associate of Bio-Leadership and a core member of OD for Life. I also offer a number of healing-centred interventions via Evolution Healing.

I wonder what might shift when we allow our experience of being part of Nature or expressions of Nature to become re-enchanted with the profound magic of creation stories that are a fundamental basis for ancestral belief systems all around the world? What might arise within the Regenerative community as we make more space for ‘non-ordinary’ ways of sense-making, for our different cosmologies, for spiritual re-wilding…
Whenever there's a new movement, there's always a change in use of language. And with that change in language, we start to change the frame, and in changing the frame, we start observing differently. We are certainly seeing this shift in the regenerative movement, and I'm enjoying the playful and creative ways in which this is emerging, and the new patterns that arise in response.
I'm not a surfer, but I can imagine a similar feeling of anticipation in sensing the building of a wave, rising up in the distance. I hope it's not just wishful thinking, but I'm getting a sense of the early signs of an early majority looking to engage with regenerative thinking and practice. Do you feel it too?
