Transforming How We Work Together
I specialize in transformative leadership development and organizational culture work — helping purpose-driven teams flourish through uncertainty without burning out.
What I Do
I work with mission-driven organizations navigating complexity and change. Through facilitation, coaching, and organizational culture transformation work, I help teams reconnect to their purpose and to each other.
My approach is grounded in systems thinking (MSW, Tulane University) and 25 years of leadership experience across sectors — from healthcare systems to nonprofit coalitions to corporate initiatives. I've facilitated for organizations including San Francisco AIDS Foundation, Compassion Revolution, Margaret Atwood's Practical Utopias, Emory University, and coached for Seth Godin's altMBA program.
I'm booking organizational partnerships, team retreats, and coaching engagements for 2026.

The Show Up Hard Methodology
I create frameworks for messy human situations that teams can actually use. These aren't abstract concepts — they're portable, practical tools that work from 1:1 conversations to team dynamics to organizational culture.
Teams value my ability to surface the wisdom already in the room. Because I'm not entrenched in organizational stories, I can reflect back what groups know but can't quite see.
Author + Creator
I wrote Show Up Hard: A Road Map for Helpers in Crisis for people with wild, open hearts at the brink of burnout.
I created Radical Resilience: Cultivating Hope, a 100-day hope skill-building program as an antidote to cynicism and despair.
I'm also the creator of LoveYou2.org, a global public art movement creating connection through love notes.

What I'm Up To Now
I believe in showing up fully - at work and in life. As this work is both for now and in service of what's longing to emerge.
Right now I'm preparing for a month-long creative residency with Compassion Revolution in Australia, where I'll be facilitating a hope-building program and co-creating a public art installation.
Whether traveling or at home you'll find me dancing with a local group, leaving a trail of love notes, and finding my next book at a tiny library or independent bookstore.
I'm booking organizational partnerships, team retreats, and coaching engagements for 2026.
