Why subscribe?

The world is full of information but short on wisdom. Every day we are surrounded by opinions, headlines, algorithms, and noise. Compass & Signal exists to slow the conversation down.

Every essay explores questions that resist simple answers—grief, consciousness, intuitive intelligence, psychology, decision-making, and what it means to live well in a complex world.

If you’re looking for quick takes, this probably isn’t the publication for you. If you’re interested in thoughtful ideas, careful reflection, and meaningful conversations, you’re in the right place.

What you will receive!

Subscribers receive essays that draw from research, lived experience, professional practice, and conversations with researchers, clinicians, legal professionals, and leaders.

Topics include:

  • Grief and continuing bonds

  • Consciousness and extraordinary human experience

  • Intuitive intelligence and decision-making

  • Psychology and human behaviour

  • Leadership and resilience

  • Reflections inspired by books, podcasts, and current research

There is no fixed formula—only a commitment to publish ideas worth thinking about.

Who Am I?

I’m Jock Brocas, an author, researcher, speaker, and founder working at the intersection of grief, consciousness, intuitive intelligence, and human potential.

Over the past two decades I’ve worked with individuals, professionals, organisations, and researchers seeking clarity during periods of uncertainty and change. My work combines evidence-informed inquiry with practical experience, always guided by curiosity and a willingness to explore difficult questions with an open mind.

Compass & Signal is where I share those ongoing explorations.

Join the conversation

If these are questions you find yourself returning to, I’d be delighted to have you along.
