Coaching, team development, and change management for mission-driven organizations.
Whether you're facing an organizational restructure, a leadership transition, a digital transformation, or the question of what AI means for your work, I help you make the plan, build the system, and advise you along the way.
Let's TalkI don't arrive with the answer. I come with the experience to help you find yours.
I partner with leaders and organizations at the point where something needs to shift. That could be a founder stepping back after years of building something by hand. A team that's grown past the stage where everyone just figured it out together. A new leader trying to earn trust while changing how things work. Or an organization whose mission is clear but whose operations haven't kept pace with it.
My practice draws on change management methodology (I'm PROSCI-certified and ground it in Kotter's work, including his more recent research on change in complexity), CliftonStrengths coaching (I'm a Gallup Certified Coach), and a diagnostic instrument I developed over 25 years of being embedded inside organizations, not advising from the outside.
What I've learned is that the change an organization needs usually runs deeper than the tool or initiative it came in asking for. Change doesn't always fail because the strategy was wrong. Sometimes it fails because people weren't supported in building new ways of working together, and nobody invested in helping them do that. Sometimes there was foundational work that needed to be done. That's where the real change happens, and it's what I do: I consult with leaders to get clear on what the organization needs in the moment, clarify direction, build frameworks, lead workshops, coach leaders, and help organizations develop the internal capacity to keep going after I leave.
Help your people lead and work from what they're naturally best at, one-to-one coaching for leaders, and team sessions that give a group a shared language.
An organizational assessment that shows where your purpose and your daily operations have drifted apart, and what to address first.
Move through a real transition without losing your people, hands-on when you're in it, or a steady outside read a few times a year.
"An excellent thought partner and an all-around delight to work with."
"After one session I felt like I was moving forward professionally."
"Thoughtful, patient, positive, strategic, and so fun."
Organizations that have the outdoors and the natural world in their DNA see the world differently. Whether that's guiding expeditions, monitoring wildlife, teaching kids to paddle, building trails, innovating gear, or making the outdoors more accessible, the outdoors isn't just a playground. It has meaning and importance that fuel it.
Leaders in this world are deeply skilled and often drawn to their field by a desire for impact. Building teams and developing leaders comes with particular seasonal and compensation challenges. Meaningful organizational culture is essential, and creating structures that support both the mission and the people in it is critical, but hard to sustain with a workforce constantly in flux.
That support takes more than one shape, a hands-on engagement when you're in it, or a standing advisory seat when you want a seasoned outside read as the seasons change.
I understand the challenges organizations in this world face, and I care about supporting this work. If you and your organization connect people to the natural world, I'd welcome a conversation about what you're navigating.
You tell me what's going on. I listen for where the friction lives, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit, or whether something else makes more sense first.
