I believe in creating trustworthy, generative spaces, where people can be seen, and stories can be heard and shared, and echoed. Let's create meaning and change the world...together.

About Your Guide
I have been writing stories and poems and lyrics for as long as I can remember. I come from a long line of storytellers and educators who are deeply inspired, moved and healed by the power of the written word. Mix in melody. chords and a chorus and a powerful combination of healing happens and sustains.
This is probably why I see the world through a songwriter's eyes. And why my first published work is a collection of poetry, titled EVERWARD.
I know there will be more collections along with songs, stories and novels in the future. Because our words make our worlds. And if we are going to change the world, for the better, we must first write these intentions into existence.
In addition to writing, I have been guiding people, teams and enterprises through change since 2002. These past two decades I’ve worked with clients to thrive in change and break through common obstacles that seem to be holding them back from reaching their true potential. It has been rewarding, impactful work that keeps me energized.
My blended approach comes from 17 years as an organizational change consultant, 10+ years of leadership as an officer in the U.S. armed forces, five years as a technology leader, and eight years as a mindfulness practitioner. As a former adjunct professor, I also believe in investing in the next generation of learners and leaders. In all my work and investments, I create trustworthy and generative spaces to hear and feel the stories that want to be told by others.
In every interaction I hope to help others learn and develop more mindful ways to navigate change and address the issues that are standing in the way of living a full and fulfilling life.
The only constant is change and the pace of change is only increasing in this digital first world. How are you increasing self-resilience, reconnecting with your soul, and creating space to restore and remain wholehearted?
