What drives me

I believe in the importance of human relationships and connection because they are essential in creating thriving organizations. Ultimately this is what makes or breaks organizations because, as Jane Magruder Watkins reminded us, 'Change happens at the speed of relationships!'

People thrive when they know they can take risks, offer innovative ideas and make meaningful contributions. All human beings want to be valued, be seen and have a sense of meaning and purpose. This leads to a competitive advantage, greater productivity, and yes — even joy!

How I work

My strength-based approach to organizational change invites leaders, teams and boards to see possibilities and engage in new levels of discovery, engagement, and innovation.

I am grounded in positive organizational change methodologies particularly, Appreciative Inquiry. The focus is on solution-finding, to promote inspiration and creativity rather than on problem-solving which focuses on fixing and blaming. This model of change leads to an upward spiral of positive momentum that stimulates connection, collaboration, and belonging. It builds on what is working, identifies success elements, and seeks to replicate what has been successful.
