Tim ‘Mac’ Macartney

Tim ‘Mac’ Macartney: Mac is the founder and CEO of Embercombe, a social enterprise that seeks to ‘inspire committed action towards a truly sustainable world’. In 1983 Mac was the gardener at a management training centre. By 1987 he was the Head of consultancy at the same place, and two years later had his own London based people and organisation development consultancy. This consultancy was later expanded into Russia and Poland.
Over a period of twenty years he was mentored and coached by Native American metis ‘Medicine’ people to learn the Earth Wisdom teachings that once informed the practice of our own British indigenous culture. Embercombe is a place where corporate executives sit next to inner city youth, next to elderly people, next to family groups, next to environmental activists, and the privileged wealthy. It is a dynamic, adventurous enterprise that speaks to people from all walks of life, to engage, commit, and become active in work that will secure our children’s future. His book Finding Earth, Finding Soul – the invisible path to authentic leadership speaks to the necessity for each of us to become the leaders ‘we have been waiting for’.
