My Approach
Trust, collaboration, courage, and candid communication form the cornerstones of my practice.
The leaders who create lasting impact are those who tap into their inner wisdom, speak their truth with clarity, and connect to purpose. I believe that embodied knowledge—what we understand through our physical and emotional experience—is just as crucial as intellectual understanding. I also hold practice as a fundamental principle in my work—it's through repeated application and refinement that we create lasting change, not through insight alone. In these complex times, weaving together all forms of knowing is essential as we collectively build toward a more just and sustainable world.
Integrating Art and Analysis
My approach blends creative practices with organizational expertise. With a background in poetry, theater, dance, and meditation, I invite clients to use metaphor, writing, visual images, and embodied practices in our work together. Equally important is my foundation in sociological research methods, program design and scaling, adult education, and nonprofit management. This combination allows me to bring both heart-centered awareness and strategic thinking to every engagement.
I draw on skills cultivated through training and experience in dialogue facilitation, Theater of the Oppressed, facilitation for racial justice, grassroots organizing, and various in-depth leadership development programs.
Our Working Process
Every client relationship begins with a discovery phase. During this time, we assess whether I'm the right fit for your needs, clarify goals, and design a process tailored to your situation. This includes an initial consultation call and a written assessment to understand your core needs—ranging from personal growth and career development for individuals to team-building, decision-making, and conflict resolution for groups.
From there, we collaborate to create a focused yet flexible work plan that charts a course toward your North Star. This plan serves as our compass while allowing space for emergent insights and adaptation. Depending on your goals, our work together may span a few weeks or extend across multiple months.
Throughout our partnership, I remain committed to creating spaces where your whole self can show up—where both creativity and pragmatism have a place, and where transformation happens through authentic connection.
