I assert that work can be a dignified expression of our humanity and we can be happy and fulfilled in our work environments. Our work relationships and environments can be vehicles for deep growth and transformation that truly can help create “the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible” (a deep bow to Charles Eisentein).

In Haven 4 Growth I bring together : 

• my leadership and management experience from the non-profit and philanthropy sectors,

• my ontological coach training,

• my nonviolent communication skills, 

• my Quaker and Buddhist practice, 

• my running/yoga/crossfit adventures

• my experiences of depression, joy, self-doubt, and self-compassion.

I love partnering with people (individuals and organisations) who are committed to their growth. 

I don't get too involved in the weeds, but have enough deep understanding of my clients so as to ask interested questions that support their growth. 

I love being involved in big efforts that cut across multiple geographies, with lots of different interests and complexities.

I love listening, creating courageous and robust spaces, facilitating, using humour, and learning.
