Our story began with a phone call in 2003. Norton was on the line to a friend saying three simple words “I’ve jumped.”

After 20 years of working on major projects and leading strategic change for BAA plc and Arup, Norton realised he’d been climbing the career ladder at his own expense. He discovered that while strategy is the map, human dynamics are the engine. He left the boardroom to prove that when you unearth meaning and clarity, success isn't something you have to chase it becomes the natural result. To honour that discovery he called the company On Purpose.

In 2006 Lynn made her own ‘jump.’ Coming from a background in education Lynn specialised in navigating challenging behaviours and complex human needs. She loved the people but felt stifled by a rigid system that prioritised metrics over the heart of relationships.

Bridging the Gap Together

When Lynn and Norton joined forces they realised they shared the same passion: the human element is the ultimate differentiator.

Today, Lynn and Norton work with leaders to bridge the Human Execution Gap. They combine Norton’s strategic expertise with Lynn’s deep understanding of human intuition to build cultures that are both fiercely resilient and psychologically safe.
