‘One of the leading systems thinkers of her generation’ - Holger Nauheimer, Founder of Berlin Change Days


She is a super-nerdy microbiologist, Cambridge, leader in systems thinking, awesome and loving facilitator of The Work That Reconnects, faculty member at Schumacher College. And a whole lot more - look her up, her credentials are dizzying. My only regret in knowing her is that I won't live to see her become one of the world's wisest, most influential elders.

‘Phoebe is one person of a rare kind. I would call her a polymath at a heartbeat with a deep insights into such difference subjects as natural science, the food chain, disruptive technologies, the human condition, facilitation and group dynamics, to name few of the subjects I had the pleasure to explore with her. She is one of the leading (and promising!) systems thinkers of her generation, which gives me hope because the world needs movers and shakers like her.

In 2019, I invited Phoebe as a keynote speaker for the Berlin Change Days, an annual conference for change makers from around the world. Her address had a strong impact on the audience and set the tone for a successful gathering in which her thoughts resonated in the following conversations. I thoroughly enjoy the ongoing dialogue that the two of us are having because I can learn a lot from her. Having said that, I admire her humbleness and her way to blend smoothly into a team, taking up leadership when required and stepping back into her role as a contributor.’
