Palden Jenkins

My work has three main branches:
  • communications, as a writer, editor, webmaster, speaker, photographer and broadcaster; and
  • knowledge and insight, as a counsellor, visionary, mentor, historian and geopolitical expert;
  • peace-building in the Middle East and social development in Britain.

I live in the old pilgrimage town of Glastonbury in England. I'm a pedigree 1960s veteran (Liverpool and LSE), with a long and consistent track record.

Broad and deep insights and perspectives, with an uncanny nose for seeing underlying trends and future possibilities.

I have set in motion several innovative organisations, written five books and edited many more, crafted many websites, conceived lots of new ideas, and done plenty of teaching, consultancy and public speaking.
