General Information

Leadership, culture, and systems change for a world that demands more thoughtful leadership.

I speak and facilitate workshops for leaders, organizations, and institutions navigating complexity, transformation, and moments where alignment truly matters. My work blends research-backed frameworks, real-world advisory experience, and human-centered facilitation to help audiences move from insight to action.


I regularly deliver professional development workshops, keynotes, and facilitated sessions for national and international audiences, including the Academy of Management (AOM), university systems, professional associations, and leadership conferences. Across these settings, my focus is consistent: helping people lead change that is grounded, ethical, and sustainable, not reactive or performative.


My sessions are designed for leaders and professionals facing real challenges in real systems. Whether the focus is organizational culture, sustainability and ESG, resilience, or emerging technologies like AI, I create spaces where participants can think clearly, engage honestly, and leave with practical ways forward.
