Transformative Coaching

Coaching is defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as “partnering with clients in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential”.

As your coach, I aim to help you ask better questions, discover your own answers, uncover your options, explore your inner landscape, clarify beliefs and set goals for your life and leadership. Coaching, for me, is about accompaniment and I will journey with you as you navigate whatever transition, growth edge or personal or professional challenge that is next up in your life’s path.

You do not have to know or work with the enneagram to work with me. I am happy to work with any assessment or system you are familiar with or use in your workplace or none at all. However, my extensive knowledge and training in the enneagram can be used at any time in our work together and I am always open to your questions, skepticism and curiosity about the enneagram. It’s a great tool for self-discovery, growth and development and I’m here to support you to find your enneagram type or become familiar with the model if you so desire.

If you’ve come to me to work with the enneagram, well you will have a well-trained guide for using the best model for understanding personality to support personal and professional development. Starting with understanding your Enneagram type (your strategy and instinctual bias) and then moving into effective methods of building awareness of patterns and pursuing change, we will focus on goals for your personal and professional life. The possibilities are endless and we can go as deep as your time and attention allows.

I offer individual and group coaching. Schedule a 20 minute introductory call to learn more about coaching with me.

Facilitation, Consulting, Training & Speaking

Facilitation

“Leadership is the capacity to mobilize people to address tough problems - especially problems people prefer to avoid.” - Ron Heifetz

Facilitators are often brought in to help groups and organizations work through challenging conversations, break through to the next level of innovation, strategizing or planning, or perhaps the joyful yet serious work of becoming a more bonded and committed team. Sometimes a facilitator just makes space so that everyone in the group can participate rather than hold multiple roles. Facilitation - skilled, caring, equitable, and human-centered facilitation - makes things easier.

As a facilitator, I pull from my years of experience facilitating in social movements, faith-rooted environments and corporate settings. I pull from a wide variety of sources including Emergent Strategy, Training for Change, DesignShop, and others that I have personal experience with. I first learned to facilitate a space as a La Leche League Leader…and if I can lead a discussion with toddlers asking for snacks, overwhelmed new breastfeeding mothers asking questions, and at least three different opinions on any given topic in the room, I can facilitate just about anything!

I am committed to a well-designed, thoroughly researched, yet still emergent process and will work with you to develop facilitation and a process that will lead to a successful process. By successful, I mean a process where everyone participates, outcomes are allowed to emerge, boundaries are respected and in the words of Rob Evans, the group “creates their own future…by design and not default”. 

I really excel at facilitating special conversations for mapping, thinking or envisioning future worlds, planning and visioning meetings and retreats, team building sessions and retreats, grief, resilience building, and healing sessions, group work around sustainable leadership, stress and burnout, team communication, spiritual practices, racial justice and anti-oppression work and healing or listening circles for Black, BIPOC and/or queer people.

NOTE: The scope of my facilitation does NOT include transformative or restorative justice or intense conflict. For those needs, I highly recommend Red Sea Road Consulting.

I am available as a resilience coach or spiritual support for those dealing with conflict, accountability circles or TJ/RJ processes. These situations can trigger extreme overwhelm and traumatic stress and I offer non-judgmental support for one or multiple individuals in the process.

Consulting

As a consultant, I can work with you in a variety of ways at different points of your visioning, planning, and execution. From research and project development to sourcing experts and networking you with the best collaborators in various fields, to listening and community engagement, synthesizing information, and helping your team determine the next steps, I offer a fresh perspective and focused attention that will take your organization or project to the next level of creativity, authenticity, and impact.

Public Speaking and Training 

I am available for keynote presentations, speaking to groups of any size, preaching, teaching and group conversations. I also host events, panel discussions and small discussions with care and purpose. Email me for more information or to begin a conversation about your event. 

Writing, Resource & Curriculum Development

I have over 15 years of experience writing and developing resources and curriculum for a variety of audiences including birthing families, activists, community leaders and everyday folks who want to learn to heal and bridge divides. Projects range from curating multi-author projects, to writing short essays, devotionals and blog posts to resource guides and full curriculum. I am available to consult on or contribute to any size writing project as well.
