What’s in a name?
You might be asking yourself, “Why on earth did he name a a blog ‘What With These Feet’?” Truth is, I wanted something that sparked curiosity—something that told a story and stood out from the sea of corporate-sounding names. Yes, it’s unconventional, but that’s exactly the point.
Day 1
This website began as a space to discuss the complexities of today’s fast-changing workplace. The name itself has a quirky origin: an impromptu line from a TV show and a spontaneous reaction to an invitation to run a marathon—“What, with these feet?” That simple phrase ended up capturing ambition and a push-the-boundaries spirit.
Evolution
When I stepped away from the comfort of a corporate environment and launched my own own independent consultancy, I realized I needed a name that really meant something—something original, memorable, and a little out of the box. Turns out, that’s a whole lot harder than it sounds. But I knew I wanted a brand that felt authentic, stood out in a crowded market, and captured the spirit of taking bold risks to do work that truly matters. So the blogspot turned into a brand name.
Today
However, I’m back in a full time role I’m really enjoying, so it’s time to return it back to its roots.
At its core, “What With These Feet” is about sharing ideas on how to achieve success – The name reflects the idea that while every journey begins with a single step, real progress comes from taking the right steps.
Too often, businesses know where they want to go, but the path is unclear, or they feel stuck, blocked by challenges they can’t seem to navigate. Creating ideas that strip away the confusion, identify the obstacles can help on the journey to creating a roadmap that’s both ambitious and actionable.
So, join in the discussion. It’s good to talk.
