Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in leading, coaching and teaching in the non-profit realm, higher education and the business marketplace, I am most passionate about the development of genuine community and healthy leadership development. I believe that every leader is an influencer with unique giftings that are ready to be unlocked to bring goodness to their community. I believe fundamentally in 'differentiated leadership' (Edwin H. Friedman) where the non-anxious presence is the real leader in the room. By paying attention to the healthy development of our personhood beneath the surface, we can then lead with a sense of rootedness and confidence in a world of chronic anxiety.
