Grounded in a strong command of systems thinking, organizational learning, leadership principles and human development, I have the privilege serving as a strategic thought partner to the nation’s most forward thinking leaders + change agents in human services.

With 30 years championing child welfare reform, leading executive teams in change management efforts, realigning organizations, and leveraging public will in system wide reform efforts, I believe that at the intersection of people, passion and purpose, leaders can do hard things.

I’ve walked alongside leaders who carry on despite the political attacks, naysayer's and chaos of leading. I’ve sat with them as they questioned their leadership decisions and journey. And I bear witness to their triumphs and defeats.

What’s important serving alongside leaders? They say its lonely at the top, but for leaders who find sanctuary with trusted counsel, it doesn’t have to be.
