How to: Be More Pirate! How to Exist Together Unanimously with Alex Barker
Channel: Inside Ideas
Date: 2020-09-14

Alexandra Barker is my guest on episode 25 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.

Alex leads Be More Pirate, a global social movement and (anti) consultancy that began life as a book by social entrepreneur Sam Conniff. Since joining Sam she has fostered a network of thousands of individuals and organizations who have turned 'pirate' and are actively challenging the status quo in their work and lives. Within the movement she splits her time between writing, research, running workshops, and growing the network. 

Since then she has written a follow-up book, How to: Be More Pirate, documenting the insights from their movement - a frontline perspective on the courage and conviction required to rewrite the rules of the 21st century. Alongside building the movement, Alex works with businesses, universities, NGOs, and the public sector supporting them to overhaul their culture, take more risks and be more ambitious with how they can support wider system change.
