I work with people and organizations in periods of change.
The work may begin with coaching, facilitation, a special project or a creative need. First, we figure out what is actually happening. Then we decide what the work needs.

Who I work with
Attention. Trust. Alignment.
We can work one-on-one or with your team. When a project needs more, I draw from twenty years of relationships with experienced collaborators and bring the right people into the work.

We are surrounded by good things.
“Someone left a full box of tomatoes on the shared table in the lobby: take what you need.”
“A neighbor spent Saturday rebuilding the fence between our yards, then stayed for coffee.”
“My team disagreed for an hour and nobody got mean about it. First time.”

How Wolves Change Rivers
Let's be the change we want to see. What small changes can we ignite this week to be more open, more kind, and more collaborative? Whatever our role is, large or small, we play a part in the trophic cascade happening all around us. Small changes can generate impacts far beyond the initial effort.
The Connection Opportunity
Experts often warn of a growing crisis of connection. Yet in a time when Americans feel divided, do they really want to connect with others—especially with those who are different from them? And if they do, what’s standing in their way?
Let's see if we are a fit
01
A 30-minute conversation
Tell me what is happening. No cost, no pitch.
02
We name the shape
Coaching, facilitation, creative work, a special project, or it belongs somewhere else, and I'll say so.
03
The work begins
Building on what's already working, alone or or with the right collaborators around it.
Do you have 30 minutes this week?
