Work With Me
Leadership is complex. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
From leading organizations to navigating transitions and building something new, I partner with leaders to move from vision to implementation through executive coaching, strategic advising, organizational development, and facilitation.
Executive Coaching
Leadership begins with self-awareness.
The most effective leaders don’t have all the answers. They cultivate the awareness, courage, and resilience needed to navigate complexity with clarity and integrity.
Grounded in executive leadership, healing-centered coaching, and the Birkman Method, my coaching supports executives, emerging leaders, and changemakers seeking to strengthen their leadership, deepen self-awareness, navigate transitions, and lead with greater confidence and purpose.
Common coaching topics
Executive presence
Leadership transitions
Career planning
Communication & feedback
Team dynamics
Burnout, resilience, and wellness
Values-based leadership
Strategic Advising
The hardest leadership decisions rarely have obvious answers.
Organizations rarely face just one challenge at a time. Growth, partnerships, funding, leadership, culture, and strategy are deeply interconnected. With more than two decades of experience building institutions, developing leaders, cultivating philanthropic partnerships, advancing policy, and leading organizational growth across higher education, nonprofits, and movement organizations, I bring both strategic perspective and practical experience to complex challenges.
I advise executive directors, senior leaders, philanthropic partners, universities, and mission-driven organizations on organizational strategy, institution building, partnerships, fundraising, systems change, and leadership. Together, we clarify priorities, align strategy with values, and build the momentum needed to move important work forward.
Examples include
Organizational strategy
Executive thought partnership
Institutional growth
Partnership development
Fundraising strategy
Systems change initiatives
Team & Organizational Development
Healthy organizations don’t happen by accident.
Strong teams are built through trust, honest communication, shared leadership, and intentional culture.
I design and facilitate retreats, strategic planning sessions, Birkman workshops, leadership development experiences, and healing-centered spaces that help people build trust, share leadership, strengthen relationships, and create organizations where both people and mission can thrive.

Speaking
Ideas matter most when they move people to action.
I speak internationally on higher education leadership, healing-centered practice, prison-to-university pathways, California’s prison system, organizational transformation, and systems change. My presentations combine lived experience, practical strategy, and research to challenge assumptions, deepen understanding, and inspire the kind of leadership that advances healing, transformation, and lasting change.
