    🚀 Rebel Ideas, Subcultures & The Power of Standing Out The world is shaped by those who refuse to fit in This week I was really lucky to attend a fashion show at BHASVIC (Brighton Hove & Sussex Sixth Form College). The standard of creativity and innovation by the students was mind-blowing and they were taking things to the next level.    It got me thinking ….. Gen-Z isn't just another generation—they’re a creative force redefining culture, work, and identity in ways that challenge traditional norms. From digital nomads to underground fashion movements, from rejecting hustle culture to building communities around authenticity—standing out is the new survival strategy. 🔹 Subcultures are shaping the future. What once lived on the fringes (alternative fashion, Web3, AI creators, gaming economies) is now leading innovation. 🔹 Questioning norms isn't rebellion—it’s evolution. Why accept outdated structures, rigid education systems, or traditional career paths when the world is more connected than ever? 🔹 Avant-garde thinking wins. The most successful brands, businesses, and leaders today don’t follow trends—they create them. ☄️ The future belongs to those who dare to think differently At Wild Purpose we want to seek and find those future rebels and those who are redefining the norm, to join our programmes If you are one of those rebels, get in touch - DM me #RebelIdeas #GenZ #FutureOfWork #Innovation #Subculture #Disruptors #ThinkDifferent

  • Why we believe that Co-mentoring is so important and want to bring it to the corporate space

    Why we believe that Intergenerational Co-Mentoring by Wild Purpose is so important and we think it needs to be in the corporate space In a rapidly evolving world 🌍, the exchange of knowledge, skills, and values across generations is more critical than ever. At Wild Purpose, our intergenerational co-mentoring model is a transformative approach that fosters deep, reciprocal learning and knowledge exchange across the generations.  It is challenges old models of mentorship and fostering fresh perspectives, non-hierarchal and a de-colonial approach. We believe that the wisdom flows both ways. Young Professionals bring fresh perspectives, technological fluency, and innovative ideas, while Seasoned Professionals contribute invaluable experience, strong networks and connections, and strategic thinking. This cross-pollination of knowledge enriches both our mentors (Oaks) and mentees (Shoots) driving personal and professional growth. Why Intergenerational Co-Mentoring Matters: 📕Bridging Knowledge Gaps – Different generations possess different unique skill sets. Younger individuals may be more adept at digital tools and modern workflows, while older professionals provide historical insights and leadership strategies. 👂🏼Enhancing Empathy and Understanding – By fostering connections across generational lines, individuals gain insight into different worldviews, work ethics, and problem-solving approaches. 💫 Fostering Innovation – The fusion of experience with new-age thinking often leads to groundbreaking ideas and solutions. 🏟️ Boosting Employee Engagement and Retention – Employees who feel valued and heard—regardless of age—are more likely to remain engaged and committed to their work. Co-mentoring enhances a culture of continuous learning and mutual support. With Nature as our guide, we have designed this programme alongside YouthTheGap CIC.  We want to speak to anyone interested in incorporating our programme into your workplace

  • There is nothing like an autumnal walk and seeing the trees turn from yellow, to red to gold and walk around in the leaves. 🍁 🍂 🍃 Fancy joining us at Wild Purpose 🌱 for a walk this Sunday at 10:45AM in Stanmer Park. We will be joined by Oaks (mentors) and Shoots (Mentees) for a walk and talk and a chance for those who are Sussex-based to connect, share stories, and enjoy some time in Nature 💚 Sign up on the Eventbrite below or drop us a DM if you want to join

  • Meet The Team 👭 Wild Purpose has 3 co-founders - Karen Stenning, Alice Banfield and Kata Armitage - learn a bit more about the team Karen brings her love of nature, joy for building vibrant communities, and infectious laughter to the team 😆😂.  She has a love for the outdoors and getting away from screens to be in the wild.  Whether she’s leading a workshop or out on a nature walk 🚶🏼♀️ , Karen’s energy is all about connection, fun, and a touch of the delightfully unexpected! Alice loves walking the Downs with a dog or pack of hounds 🐕 .  She often takes some time out to go camping at a local campsite or in the New Forest. She loves autumn and the beauty of the changing leaf colours. 🌱 Kata loves nothing more than watching dragonflies darting about on a summer's evening and being in the woods 🌳 in Autumn, catching leaves from the trees. Playfulness is an important part of both her coaching and facilitation. 💫

    I was so shocked to find this when I saw the email from the team that I have made the final for the Young Achiever category at the Adur & Worthing Business Awards. This recognition is incredibly meaningful, As it celebrates the impact of the work I provide in the local area for young people but also a reflection and look back on good memories after the After Worthing Festival event we ran at Homefield Park and the passion for empowering young creatives and extreme sports athletes in the local area. This award reflects the collective effort of everyone who has supported myself but also it gives me a chance to thank others for the skate and creative social events we’ve organised being privilaged to be part of such a great community development project. I’m so grateful to everyone who’s been part of my journey along the way, and I’m excited to keep pushing forward & Thanks for everyone who nominated me also 😄.
