Work With Me

I work with individuals and organizations in a certain sweet spot.

These days, we always want things to get better.  Optimized.  Expanded.  Sweeter.  We’re privy to an essential secret: there’s always a new possibility to grow into.

So when you’re faced with a situation that isn’t going 100% right, how can you turn it into a possibility for growth? How can you bring every ounce of smarts and guts and heart to make it better?  The choice is all yours.  Will you:

  • Dig your heels in and block out new possibilities?  You’re smarter than that.
  • Insist everything’s really just fine, and buckle down with the status quo?  You know things can be SO much better.
  • Get real about what’s not working, get curious about what the point of it all might be, and get willing to create something brand new.  Ah, yes.  

This is the sweet spot where genius can happen.  I call it tentative expansion.  I love working with people who are here — or at least willing to test the waters.  Because anything less is a waste of my time and yours.

Anything can happen here. What does that mean to you, in terms of measurable results?

  • Start driving your life and organization consciously, with empowerment — instead of reacting helplessly to inevitable change.
  • Shift from “problem thinking” to “possibility harnessing.”
  • Create value: revenue, time efficiency, new products.
  • Enjoy more “flow states” where you’re fully engaged in your task, with creativity at full throttle.
  • Move permanently from putting-out-fires mode into knowing how to respond as change arises.
  • Harness the key to sustainable success: your organizational culture.

Any individual or organization can find themselves in this sweet spot.

I have specific expertise in the media world, so many of my clients come from this world. Yet what I do has far-reaching applications in any industry. Basically: if you’re ready to stretch beyond your “problems” and leverage them to create something new and better — I can help.

Ways to Work With Me:

I. Focused Firestarting:

One hour of business coaching for individuals.

Tell me your story. I’ll listen closely, question skillfully, and open your mind to fresh opportunities. In the span of an hour, we’ll generate several high-quality, immediately actionable ideas.

Got a burning business or career question? Let’s leverage it for your highest ROI.  Get started right here.

II. Conscious Change Consulting:

Medium to long-term, on-site work with leaders and/or teams.

Industries are changing at the speed of information. In order to thrive (not just survive), it’s imperative that we create a conscious corporate culture. That we learn to shift from management to leadership. From fear-driven teams to creative, engaged individuals.

Step into the future and reap the rewards.  Contact me to get started.

III. Research, Development, and Analysis:

Ongoing partnership for strategic planning.

Your organization’s “problem” often represents an industry-wide shift. Example:

Problem: We just can’t find skilled camera technicians!
Industry-wide shift: Those cameras are on their way out. Younger workers use newer technology.
Strategic opportunity: What’s our most effective, sustainable option for creating and distributing media?

Welcome to the business of opportunities.  Let’s get started.

How I Do It:

  • Lean process: Inspired by my work in technology, I apply agile development principles and an iterative approach. We create a feedback loop, test solutions, and iterate to success.
  • Deep listening: I’m an expert questioner and analyze not just what people say, but how they say it. There’s an art and a science to creating conscious culture. And it’s massively important for sustainable success.
  • Contextual analysis: By zooming out from the content of what you say into the context in which it’s happening, we leverage the larger picture. Why is this happening? What place does it occupy in your life, your career, your industry, this point in a shifting economy?
  • Immersion: For larger projects, I like to be hands-on. Along the process of engaging change, I see openings for even bigger future possibilities.
