Given the often personal and intense nature of our work together, I build a relationship with you as a partner, colleague, and friend. By meeting you with empathy and attentiveness, I ask thoughtful and important questions, give honest advice, and respond in the moments it matters. I use constructive, open communication, and I ask the same of you.

I engage in innovative, cutting-edge ways, with high-touch care and commitment. I invest the time and effort needed to achieve meaningful results. As the long-distance runner and writer Haruki Murakami wrote about his training, “This takes time, of course, but sometimes taking time is actually a shortcut.” By dedicating proper care and attention to the work, I ensure that it is done right the first time and takes less time in the long run.

The father of conflict resolution and my mentor Dr. Morton Deutsch instilled this in me. I help you identify and address trouble spots before they become big problems. This may mean that you need to invest regular doses of time, energy, and resources to prevent things from turning into crises down the line. I help you determine which investments are worth making now, and which can wait.

While I use a unique method to help you create innovative solutions to tough problems, I begin by looking at your existing success and help you build from there. My goal is to restore systems to their natural state of health and vitality at every level – individual, team, organization, community, and world.

Whether I am coaching an individual, facilitating a team conversation, or consulting at the enterprise level, I bring an organizational perspective. I help you identify unhealthy organizational patterns and make the individual and systemic shifts needed to create long-lasting, sustainable change.

Whether coaching one-on-one, facilitating a three-way conversation, or delivering a keynote address for 200 of your top people, I change the dynamic in the room. I help you name what has been tough to talk about, so you can have the honest conversations necessary to achieve remarkable breakthroughs.

A grand strategy is great, but it won’t get you very far if you can’t implement it. I help you stay focused on your desired outcomes, hold your people and teams accountable, and continuously take action so you meet and exceed your targets.

Strengthening leadership, building effective working relationships, and achieving optimal business results is not always easy. But I help you approach the journey with a sense of adventure that creates clarity, productivity, and freedom.
