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.

The Agony of Defeat

I’ve tapped into a different kind of awe this week. In my obsession with watching the Olympics, I’ve become fascinated by the near misses. By the skiers who must simply complete their run to win a medal, but who hit a gate or get going too fast to execute their final jump. Or the athletes …

Awestruck

I had plans to write about something else today. But we’re “in the bleak midwinter” where I live, and I thought maybe a quick pep talk might be in order. I’ve written about awe in detail before — what it is, why it helps, where to find it — so today’s message is simply a …
