I know why you're here.
It’s so incredibly loud in the world…particularly the world of “leadership” and “change” and “performance“.
The noise can be deafening, with every opinion & piece of advice under the sun coming at you all the time.
Like trying to drink from a firehose, you end up just turning off the tap and returning to what you know.
To what’s comfortable, familiar & easy.
And yet, you know that something needs to change.
That you can’t keep struggling through life…repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting different or better results.
The struggle is real.
The irony is that when you really sit down and think about it, this life of ours is incredibly short and precious.
And so much of it is spent worried, stressed, anxious and depressed…in conflict with ourselves and other people.
Making next month’s mortgage payment. Hiring the right project manager. Writing the report for the board. Dealing with office politics. Building a culture you can be proud of.
Engaging your staff in meaningful work. Being engaged yourself in meaningful work!
Wondering what the heck meaningful work is, anyway…
The list of things that can get in the way of us living our optimal life, thriving in our relationships and contributing meaningfully to our community (both at work and at home) are ENDLESS.
Simple gets done.
We can live life in a state of constant overwhelm…running on the hamster wheel to try and keep up, or taking a sip from the firehose every now and then.
Or we can simplify, streamline and align our energy and actions with what’s most important.
Our deepest values.
Our purpose and priorities.
The impact that we want to have in the world.
The legacy we want to leave after this short life of ours is lived.
When you get tired of the noise, and you're ready to;
» Enhance your communication methods and skills to maximize connection and alignment.
» Develop your leadership skills with a simple, practical and immediately operational set of tools.
» Align yourself and your team with what’s most important, and taking meaningful action forward.
- Let’s start a conversation about how I can help you simplify, streamline and align your life and your team with what’s most important.
- You can scroll down to learn more about me, the services I offer and what other people have said about the meaningful work we’ve done together. Or have a listen to the podcast.
I’m really looking forward to helping you cut through the noise, connect to what’s most meaningful and build an incredible team while you do it.

For Your Organization
Every consulting project is different, because the needs and values of every organization is different.
One common theme is the need to demonstrate outcomes, whether in the form of a “return on investment” in business, or a “social return on investment” in the non-profit sector.
I specialize in helping organizations design, build and implement cutting edge “routine outcome monitoring” and “utilization focused evaluation” systems.
