Designing and facilitating transformative conversations to build trust, support individual and system change, and explore new paths to meaningful action.
About Me
As a life-long seeker filled with curiosity and a desire to understand the complexity of relationships and systems, I embraced a natural calling and have been a trusted advisor and strategic consultant in both the nonprofit and for profit sectors for more than two decades. I’ve collaborated with hundreds of leaders as a strategist and thought partner, and as an expert at designing and facilitating creative conversations that strengthen relationships, generate commitment and lead to action that matters.
My approach is relational, advances justice and liberation, focuses on what is emerging, and is collaborative and adaptive. I’ve been fortunate to learn from a diverse group of wise teachers, and I integrate these methodologies and tools into customized approaches working alongside each client as individual needs arise. No client relationship is exactly the same. Because of my passion for exchanging ideas and sharing knowledge, my clients get to experience my teachers through me, and often leave our time together with new skills, ways of seeing, and increased capacity as a result.
I identify as a white-bodied, cisgender, queer woman. My pronouns are she/her/hers and here is why pronouns matter. My work is informed by my journey to examine my privilege, unlearn and interrupt oppression, and create environments that foster justice.
My Values
My work is professional and also personal. I seek to work with those who share similar values.
What Matters:
An adaptive approach to make space for an emerging future
Co-creation as the only way that change happens inclusively and sustainably, benefitting from everyone’s perspective and expertise
Interdependence and the acknowledgment that our future is woven together, each thread contributing to the whole as we co-create new possibilities
Justice and the creation of a world where everyone has the same access to opportunities and resources; race, gender and other identities do not predict life outcomes
Learning and growth as an essential part of life, with joy and compassion to support the work of transformation and stay in discomfort
Relationship as an essential starting place and the foundation for developing and implementing lasting change
Shared leadership with the belief that there is a leader in every seat
Wisdom, especially decentering whiteness to open space for perspectives and ways of knowing that are often silenced.
