About me

Hi, I’m Peter — thanks for stopping by.

I help people and organisations build resilience, clarity, and agency in a changing, AI-driven world. My approach, which I call Stoic Futurism, blends timeless Stoic wisdom with modern strategy and adult development theory. It’s both a practical method and a growing movement: a way to stay grounded while navigating rapid change with integrity.

I’ve spent over a decade in higher education leadership, working at the intersection of learning, research, and digital transformation. Along the way, I’ve discovered that the challenges we face — whether in universities, workplaces, or personal careers — are best met not with panic or quick fixes, but with steady principles and future-ready practices.

On this site and through my writing, speaking, and advisory work, I share practical tools and reflective insights to help professionals and organisations thrive through disruption. If you’re looking to build resilience, find clarity in complexity, and take agency in shaping the future, you’ll find ideas here worth exploring.

Let’s connect — I’m always keen to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organisations. Whether it’s through consultations, workshops, or simply exchanging ideas, I’d love to explore how we can shape a more resilient and future-ready world together.

Best regards,
Peter Ashby Smith
