Communication Coaching and Consultancy

I am drawn to people with messages and stories that bring us together, that are deep with curiosity, that want to understand and be understood. That passion has taken me on different paths that weave together powerfully.

Presentation and Narrative Coach

I work with entrepreneurs, executives, innovators and thought leaders to hone their next big Talk and make it authentic, sharp and memorable as hell.

 Respectful Workplace Training

Creating respectful workspaces is more challenging and vital than ever. I give you and your team the tools to actively build respect and safety, not just avoid harassment and liability.

Conversations Across Difference

Serious, historic conflicts are often calcified by a lack of ability, or opportunity, to truly hear and understand the "other". That understanding opens us, and what is possible, in ways that can only be experienced. I create and hold a space where that becomes possible.
