Work is more than a way to earn a living;

it is a statement of our dignity. -unknown

I believe…
•	Leadership is a relationship of trust.
•	Becoming a leader is an ongoing process.
•	Human behavior embodies the predictable and the mysterious.
•	Knowledge is a compass, not an anchor.
•	Experiential awareness enriches empathetic understanding.
•	Compliance and commitment are profoundly different.
•	We see what we look for.

MISSION

As an organizational consultant and executive coach, specializing in leadership development, I am dedicated to helping clients create productive, fulfilling roles and workplace experiences. And as scholar-practitioner, I am committed to deepening our understanding of organizational sustainability by researching leadership behaviors that foster healthy workplaces.

I explore organizational life from a stance of appreciative investigation. Both the theoretical and practical workings of organizations inform and enrich my inquiry.

I encourage clients to discover ~

patterns of behavior that no longer serve them, and

new practices and capabilities needed to meet the demands of their evolving roles and organizations.

GUIDING BELIEFS

I base my work on the core belief that positive leadership relationships:

nurture critical thinking,
expand moral reasoning,
enhance participative competence, and
promote resilience.

We create healthy organizations through focused intention. As organizational members in a global society we are compelled to embrace diverse perspectives, honor the many ways of knowing, and open the space for meaningful dialogue to emerge. Such demanding work requires us to examine our worldviews and assumptions and to recognize how our behavior and perceptions shape our workplace communities.
