Leaders who last need more
than skills and vision --

they must lead from within.

I work with non-profits, NGO’s, Foundations, and Corporations to help individuals and organizations achieve more conscious and inspired leadership. My approach ensures leadership that enlivens and enriches human communities and workplaces, and produces sustainable, positive results.

I bring more than 25 years of experience as a global leadership strategist and leadership development practitioner, across multiple sectors and 52 countries.

Leaders who live out their values
make a lasting difference

Increasing the Wisdom Quotient of Leadership -- one insight at a time. 

 

In my work I explore: 

  • the role and impact of suffering, health, and healing within organizations 

  • how we can reshape our inner operating systems to live in greater flow and joy

  • increasing access to insight and wisdom as we wade through the chaos and complexity of current times.
