The Problems I help Solve:

I’m useful in complex or tough situations – conversations that need to happen; courageous stands that need to be taken, multi-angle issues and getting under the overt issues to work on the gnarly bits – at an individual, team and organisational level. I’ll help you figure out how to get out of overwhelm and into action.

Moments of liminality – helping people, teams and organisations shift from what is to what can be. Supporting people to have conversations that are important and uncomfortable.  System – level change. I love working with people who are interested in making big decisions. I also spend time thinking about how we create space at the table for the people who may not have access to it.
