For 25+ years I have helped individuals and teams develop the skills and capacity to navigate internal and interpersonal challenges. I have worked across sectors and geography with clients in for-profit, non-profit, and public service in the U.S., Middle East, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

My clients are teams, organizations, and communities who share big goals but struggle to move forward together because their experiences, ideas, or approaches are different: teams with poor communication, communities in conflict, and leaders struggling to shift away from what worked before to what is needed now.

• In the private sector, I facilitate workshops and deliver training in leadership, communication, difficult conversations, and negotiation for Fortune 500 companies in energy, healthcare, consumer packaged goods, food & beverages, and banking.

• In the public sector, I design and deliver training in collaborative negotiation and consensus building for federal managers, non-profit leaders, higher education, congressional staff, civil society leaders, youth-at-risk, the World Bank Group, and the World Health Organization.

• I also support organizations in the early stages of implementing their strategy for equity, inclusion, and diversity.

I teach a course for emerging leaders at Tufts University, where my students and I grapple with the big questions and everyday practices needed to lead in a world that keeps serving up fresh challenges.

Previously, I was a field instructor and program manager for Outward Bound where I spent 800+ days leading wilderness expeditions through challenging terrain - and often more challenging group dynamics - in the U.S. and Mexico.

I speak English & Spanish, and I dabbled ever-so-briefly and delightedly in Italian.
