I’ve been described as having a “warm, wise energy.” I don’t just bring energy, I spark it in others, leaving audiences more curious, alive, and ready to move forward.

As a trusted advisor, bestselling author, master facilitator and certified coach with 25+ years of experience, I help you embrace what’s next. I work in the mission-driven sector — most often with nonprofits, philanthropic foundations, post-secondary institutions, and health organizations — supporting senior leaders and Boards to align what they do with what matters most and collaborate toward shared, meaningful goals.

And I use strategic imagination to get there. Whether it’s personal reinvention, bold organizational shifts, or sector-wide collaboration, I help create a more vivid picture of the future you want so that you are more likely to create it.

When I speak, I don’t just deliver information — I create moments that lead to real, lasting change.

Learning to Surf

About six months into the COVID lockdown of 2020, I remember a fellow facilitator saying to me, “I don’t do digital meetings.” My cheeky response? “Happy retirement.” Lately I’ve been writing about making decisions in uncertainty — about paying attention to the quantity and quality of the information we’re gathering, and to the nature of …

The Decision Itself

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve written about the quantity and quality of information that goes into decisions during times of overload and uncertainty. Today’s focus is on the nature of the decision itself.

Seek Variety in Uncertainty

In this second installment of thoughts on decision making in uncertainty, I’m turning my attention from the quantity of information that shapes our decisions to its quality. How do we build confidence in the validity and relevance of the information we’re taking into account?
