About
Most of the tools we rely on were built for a simpler world. After 15+ years across corporate, public-sector, nonprofit, and academic environments, my work focuses on developing awareness rather than speed — because, as Otto Scharmer puts it, the quality of results depends on the quality of awareness we operate from.
+The pace of change right now isn't like the last one. Leaders who built their careers on judgment, pattern recognition, and knowing their industry cold are suddenly being told that none of it may be enough on its own. Some meet that with curiosity. Most also feel a quieter version of the same question: am I still the right person to lead this — or am I about to be out of step with something I can't quite see yet?
+I've spent fifteen-plus years working with leaders on exactly that question, across very different settings — from Fortune 500 companies to my own coffee shop. I hold an ICF Professional Certified Coach credential and a Bachelor of Commerce. What I've learned across that range is the same thing every time: strategy isn't what carries people through rapid change. The mindset shift underneath it is — and it's usually the part nobody budgets time for.
+If you lead a team, they'll have opinions about what's changing whether you ask or not — some about their jobs, some about whether they trust what's being decided for them. If the call is yours alone, that weight sits squarely on your shoulders. Either way, I work on that part: not the technical build, but the place where you and your team actually believe in what's changing.
+This isn't work you finish. The world keeps moving, and the real skill is staying curious and adaptable as it does — without losing sight of what you value and why you're doing any of this in the first place. That's not a course you complete. It's a conversation, and we have it for as long as it's useful.

-Outside of work, you'll find me walking, biking, and dancing around Victoria, BC; spending time with my partner and two adult sons; and travelling regularly to Germany. Nature and movement are how I think and recharge.
