Do you feel that your best is yet to come, starting today?
I’m Desley Lodwick—Author, Speaker and Master Coach for developing practical wisdom.
My mission is to provide the unconventional support needed to progress through the persistent and resistant challenges that get in the way of a well-lived life and meaningful work.
My rich and varied background includes executive roles, board service, and entrepreneurship. Early on, I focused on coding, mathematics, and chemistry, ultimately becoming the Managing Director of a global IT security testing company by the turn of the century. Today, as co-founder of Aberrant Learning, I am at the forefront of cultivating wisdom through phronesis, the practical wisdom that guides leaders and teams towards excellence.
If you desire learning or have a growing sense of confusion and discomfort that you’d like to shift to excitement and empowerment, you’ve come to the right place.

Aberrant Leadership
The complexity of work has moved us beyond our individual capacity for solving many problems. Instead, we need to utilise our collective sense-making and shift our mindsets to prime ourselves to progress in the contemporary workplace.
When Work Isn't Working
Attain the necessary expertise to cultivate unity within teams and individuals, propelling complex organizational and team challenges forward. Embrace the imperative of adapting to evolving cultures, seizing change as a catalyst for growth.
From Problems to Progress
In the absence of mindful consideration towards human interactions encompassing exchange, collaboration, communication, inquiry, responsiveness, and reciprocation, progress remains stagnant, and inevitable disintegration arises.
