Mission
Speaker
To create leadership development without the snore. Because let’s face it - the last thing you need is a boring powerpoint and a long checklist. So we do things a bit more unconventional, a bit more like an experience than a training. We tap into a type of organizational intelligence - where you are equipped to navigate change, and to navigate it well.
About Me
Specialties
I am a project strategist and facilitator known for helping stiff systems soften. My work bridges global traditions and project logic, where human behaviour in teams isn’t seen as threat but a gift. I bring over 15 years of experience working across sectors to transform how teams collaborate — not by making people nicer, but by redesigning the conditions where culture and delivery meet.

Honouring The Land
As a guest on Coast Salish Territory for over 30 years, I am thankful to recognize the traditional lands of the Kalapuya, Multnomah and Clackamas, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde who sustained me and gave me community and life before travelling north to colonial ‘Canada’. As a descendant of the Cocas people of Jalisco and the Rarámuri people of Chihuahua, Mexico, and of the Westphalian people of modern day Germany, the ties and relationship to the land are what bring us life, history, and memory.
Today, my commitment, as an ally and an uninvited guest on the unceded territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) People, the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, is to honour their voices, land, language, traditions and culture. We must integrate the Truth and Reconciliation Act's calls to action into the mindset and heart of our daily life, work and community development. May we uphold our collective liberation unto reconciliation - recognizing that all people are connected and deserve to be honoured, remembered and respected.
