Tim Wilkes · Pathos Services
The hard part is always the human.
Behavioural science. Weaponized storytelling. Practical AI.
I help leaders, experts and commercial teams change how people think: how they communicate, how they decide, and lately how they work with AI. The tools are behavioural science, storytelling and a great deal of practice. The result is a message that lands, a room that moves, and an organisation that stops using AI too small.
