I believe that leadership can come from anywhere in an organization.
As a leadership advisor, educator, and facilitator, I work with leaders at all levels to build ethical and joyful workplaces, where all members find meaning and purpose.
The capacity to reflect on oneself and one’s context is a basic building block for organizational learning and transformation.
My consultancy focuses on:
Building self-awareness and systems awareness (how different parts of the system impact each other and the individual).
I bring a deep understanding of human behavior, informed by 30 years of facilitating change in individuals, groups, and organizations. A life-long learner, I began my career as a clinical social worker, then expanded into organizational development consulting, and then teaching.
Recently, I have begun to incorporate Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction into my consulting work. What all these approaches share is a focus on self-reflection and awareness as the key to change. I design and facilitate processes that help individuals, groups/teams, and organizations:
-
Discover and develop their shared vision and purpose
-
Assess and build upon their strengths
-
Work productively with differences and conflict
-
Surface and examine dysfunctional assumptions and covert dynamics
-
Share responsibility for addressing adaptive challenges and developing sustainable solutions
-
Engage meaningfully with each other and the larger community
