  1. shine as a reading lamp carefully placed for intimate illumination, as seen in the night through a window framed by fractal shadows
  2. yearn for more wattage when lighting a stage, yet collectively light a crowd
  3. create global change by creating safe & challenging spaces for individuals to discover their multifaceted truths—from "to be a verb"

Professional C/V

Prior to my shift into coaching and the healing arts, I was a leadership transition consultant, COO for hire, and cross-functional "project whisperer". Over the course of my career, I designed & implemented global processes, scaled companies, architected digital products to last*, recruited teams, led remotely, failed fabulously, succeeded silently, helped CEOs transition into and out of companies, produced award-winning experiences, & founded a few communities of which I'm ridiculously proud.
