Hi, I’m James Oswald Murphy
Oswald + Co is my community engagement practice and we’ve been enriching communities since 2007.
My philosophy is simple - I believe connection is the scarce resources of the new economy and people want leaders to connect with their values and their community. What is connection? - It is different for everyone but everyone has the same feeling. People remember how you made them feel, how you engaged with them, how you cared for them.
As an entrepreneurial social worker, I work with teams and leaders to design projects for connection. We work in the space between people to create environments in which everyone feels welcome, can participate and have a sense of ownership and belonging. I embrace an engagement approach to lead with generosity, build trust and strengthen relationships with communities on a human scale.
My practice is inspired by my grandparents, Oswald Clarence Murphy and Harold Oswald Schnelle who founded and operated businesses in rural Australia. Throughout their lives they sought to exemplify their belief in working hard, maintaining fair values and being passionate about helping people and their community.
Want to bring people together and build connection?
