"When someone really hears you without passing judgement on you without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mold you, it feels damn good... When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on. It is astonishing how elements which seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens. How confusions which seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard.

The truth is, with an informed strategy, you can chart a simple course to success.
With a little more data and process you can pinpoint key values and create an actionable shared vision.
How to envision the right culture for your unique business. How to create and maintain it.
How to lead and manage your team through times of growth.
How to handle common stakeholder dilemmas, like scope creep, and dealing with a bad fit.
How to pivot when the skills that got you where you are won't get you to where you're going.
(AKA Organizations Outgrowing Their Business Model) There is an unwritten and sometimes overlooked rule of a growing business, if your systems work and you continue to grow—eventually you will outgrow the same systems and beliefs that allowed you to be successful in the first place. This creates a unique set of challenges. If you are at this point, it's time for us to get together.
Leading a growing organization sometimes means sharing ownership and leadership with others, and often those others go by names like brother, sister, mother, father, Cousin Billy...as second and third generation leaders, business continuity becomes a number one priority. Let's work together to reduce ambiguity, work through conflict, and to design a path to clarity, a defined legacy, and shared values and vision.
The thing that really ties my work together is the art and science of group experience. I have applied this expertise in all kinds of environments: Leadership Retreats at the Edward Lowe Foundation, Family Meetings, all kinds of classrooms, organizational strategy development and team building events. If you are looking to create a learning experience for a group of people or to develop a series of effective meetings towards a set of outcomes, we should talk.
Support team dynamics and address issues, allowing your team to reduce friction, improve results, and better identify opportunities.
