I’ve been an organizational consultant in corporations for 20 years. There, I experienced the highs of brilliant colleagues, the pursuit of purpose, and the space for immense personal growth. Corporations also gifted me insights that grow from getting curious about the lows of disengagement, burnout, and powerlessness. My incurable bug for the Future of Work was caught in 2016 as an Agile advocate and author of the Leading From any Seat Blog where I explored what leadership looks like for individual contributors. In those unexplored caverns I discovered the riches of the empowerment coin, fun of facilitating change, and the question-everything approach of transformational change. I also discovered the obstacles in industrial era organizations which get in the way. I became fascinated and inspired by the pioneers who challenge the assumptions of their industrial era forefathers to create work environments hospitable for the human spirit. In 2024 I decided to stop playing someone else’s game and start my own thing, doing work I love and with people who want to bring more love to their workplaces. My goal is to maximize the happiness I can spread and right now the best way I can do that is bring my whole, imperfect, nerdy, troublemaking, jack-of-many-trades self to help good people create great workplaces. (To clarify, all people are good people.)If you want the latest way to squeeze efficiency from your people or get them to obey you, I’m not going be a very good partner. If however, you want to help your organization take the next evolutionary step towards more human and effective workplaces where everyone is powerful, I want to be your bridge to the future of work.
