Life After DPIR - Mr Bruce Nixon

Alumni 1952,

Summary

My mission is to help people create a better, sustainable, just and non-violent world and use their power to do so. Governments need to act urgently to avert climate change and ecological catastrophe. I am a veteran change agent, author, writer, speaker and activist. 

After graduating from Oxford in philosophy, politics and economics, I went off to work in Los Angeles. Deciding I am European, I returned to work in London in people management, then Jamaica for five years with a Canadian company and back to London. I worked in the City where I helped leaders develop themselves, create better workplaces and bring about strategic change in ways that fully engage people. I learned a lot about how to do this. I then started an independent consultancy, working with a wide variety of organisations. For a while I taught at a business school with many international students.

Working with directors and senior managers, I became increasingly aware of global issues. I visited Cuba and India to study organic cultivation and issues to do with sustainability, food, democracy and economic justice. Several return visits to Jamaica increased my anger about the unjust global economic system.

I am passionately interested in our extraordinary planet and how we can create a sustainable, just and non-violent world for ourselves and future generations. I have five children and four grandchildren. My partner is American.
