How an engagement runs
I begin by hearing from the people closest to the work. Together we find the real question behind the loudest symptom. We agree on a practical process, facilitate the conversations that need to happen, and leave the organization with clear decisions, ownership, and tools. Engagements can be a focused project or a six-month advisory relationship.

In their words
From the people in the room
Our board isn't engaged. Where do we start?
With the people closest to the work. I listen first, then help you find the real question behind the loudest symptom. From there we agree on a practical process and the conversations that need to happen.

Yes. Board and leadership retreats are a core part of this work, along with board engagement tools and role and relationship mapping.
Do you coach individual leaders?
Yes. Through LiVision I offer leadership coaching and advisory, supervisor practice sessions, and executive consultation.
