My Approach

I don't believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Every organization has its own culture, challenges, and opportunities. My process is designed to meet you where you are and co-create sustainable solutions that fit your unique context.

​

⬇️1. Discovery & Assessment

We begin by understanding your current state: organizational context, challenges, goals, and stakeholders. This includes interviews, assessments, document review, and observation to build a comprehensive picture.

​

⬇️2. Co-Design & Strategy

Together, we design the approach that will work for your organization. This isn't about imposing a framework—it's about adapting proven methodologies to your specific needs, culture, and constraints.

​

⬇️3. Implementation & Support

I work alongside your team to implement the strategy, providing coaching, facilitation, tools, and real-time problem-solving. Change happens in the doing, and I'm there to support the messy middle.

​

➡️4. Sustainability & Evolution

The goal isn't just short-term wins—it's building internal capacity for continuous improvement. I help you develop the systems, skills, and mindsets that sustain change long after our engagement ends.

​

What Makes This Work Different

• Human-Centered Strategy: I bring organizational development expertise with a deep understanding of human psychology, behavior change, and what actually motivates people.

• Practical + Purposeful: I balance strategic rigor with the wisdom that organizations are made of humans, and humans are complex. The best strategies account for both.

• Lived Experience: I've navigated major transitions myself—public to private sector, employee to entrepreneur, burnout to sustainable success. I understand change from the inside.

• Systems Thinking: I look at the whole picture—culture, structure, processes, people—because sustainable change requires alignment across all levels.

​

Credentials & Experience

• Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder-Centered Coach

• Prosci Change Management Practitioner and Train-the-Trainer

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in leadership development, organizational strategy, employee engagement, and change management across public and private sector organizations

• BARE Life Coach certification

​

A Note on Selectivity & Alignment

After six years of working for a consulting firm, I recently stepped into independent practice. This shift wasn't about doing more work—it was about doing aligned work.

​

I'm deliberately selective about the organizations I partner with. I work best with clients who are:

• Self-aware: You recognize there's a gap between where you are and where you want to be, and you're willing to look honestly at what's contributing to that gap.

• Committed to real change: You're not looking for a quick fix or a rubber stamp. You're ready for transformation, even when it's uncomfortable.

• Willing to do the work: Change requires participation, not just observation. You're prepared to invest time, energy, and honest reflection into the process.

​

If that sounds like you and your organization, let's talk. If not, I'm happy to point you toward other resources that might be a better fit.

​

This approach ensures that when we work together, it's a true partnership—one where meaningful change is not just possible, but inevitable.

​

Let's Talk

If your organization is navigating change, developing leaders, or building a culture that supports sustainable performance, I'd love to explore how we might work together.

​

Reach out to schedule a conversation about your needs, challenges, and goals. We'll explore whether a partnership makes sense and what that could look like for your organization.
