Julian Stodd

Julian Stodd is a researcher, writer, artist and explorer of the Social Age. He is the founder and Captain at Sea Salt Learning, a global consultancy.

His work explores the context of the Social Age, a time of radical connectivity and social transformation, and takes an evidence based approach to what this means for leadership, learning, culture, innovation, and change.

Julian’s work around Social Leadership, leading at the intersection of formal and social systems, and Social Learning, has been influential in Organisations around the world, including Apple, Google, Novartis, Coke, ARM, Nokia, SABIC, and The Red Cross and within various Militaries and Government agencies, as well as the World Health Organisation (where he sits as a Special Advisor on Learning Strategy).

His work is research led, evidence informed, and held in a principle of #WorkingOutLoud, shared, always evolving, and highly imperfect.

He has written 17 books, including key research based pieces like ‘The Trust Guidebook’, and ‘The Community Builder Guidebook’, as well as broader texts like ‘The Social Leadership Handbook’, and ‘The Socially Dynamic Organisation - a new model of Organisational Design’, and has contributed core chapters to publications like the US Government published ‘Modernising Learning’ collection, as well as nearly 3,000 blog posts and articles.
