Are you working for a better world? I believe each one of us is connected and responsible to a greater whole.
My passion is to support leaders, organizations, networks and communities in collaborating to achieve their public good missions. My facilitation and consulting services are informed by extensive practical knowledge gleaned from experience over the past three decades as an executive director, interim executive director, network builder, program director and board leader.
My work is fueled by the power of story and draws on my background in journalism and documentary video production. My preferred methods for working with groups are participatory and co-creative, including: the Institute of Cultural Affairs’ Technology of Participation methods, the Connective Leadership Institute’s Achieving Styles, Liberating Structures, and Future Search Conferencing.
Based in Portland, Oregon, I work throughout the U.S. with organizations, networks, national associations, and multi-agency initiatives. For many projects, I collaborate with other skilled consultants from my well-developed community of colleagues. In the warm weather months I can often be found in my kayak, enjoying the spectacular waterways of the Pacific Northwest.
