My passion is working with visionaries to bring NVC to organizations. As a founding partner of Leadership that Works, I'm committed to igniting transformation in organizations. We're a consortium of seasoned practitioners who help people awaken to their leadership potential, by creating a collaborative culture where power is shared. With decades of experience in leadership development and training coaches, our greatest contribution comes from supporting those who are positioned to seed transformation. After an initial assessment, we expand the vision, synthesize the needs and harness the motivation of individuals. Then we build teams who can bring about deep and abiding cultural change. When people connect with their deepest values and learn collaborative ways of communicating, creativity is unleashed, and both the people and the organization prosper.

As facilitators, we support connection at all levels – from strategic planning to rebuilding damaged relationships. But we don’t just train people in a few skills or facilitate a few meetings and leave – we develop coaches and facilitators within the organization who continuously expand the transformation. The shift from coercion, command and control toward more collaboration and trust continues to flourish long after we’re gone. We’ve seen how one leader's transformation can catalyze positive change, recharging employees, enhancing relationships, and reconnecting leaders throughout the organization. I wrote a book called Facilitating with Heart: Inspiring Personal Transformation and Social Change.
