The term “Eclectic” was first used in the early 17th century to describe philosophers who did not belong to a single school of thought. Over time, the word has evolved to describe a broader approach. When someone is eclectic, it means they don’t adhere to a single system or set of principles. Instead, they selectively choose the best or most interesting elements from various sources.

Looking widely for insight and integrating the best elements resonates with me. I have a tendency to apply bespoke approaches and adapt tools to address challenges. I will also package diverse inspiration and perspectives to prompt new thinking. Heavily involved in innovation, I seek to build on ideas or capabilities to create something unique and valuable. Eclectic also acknowledges my desire to challenge groupthink and assumptions.
