Work foci : i) Growth strategy consulting (focus on sustainability, CSR, ESG, multi-cultural); and Executive/ leadership coaching with SMB leadersii) Speaking & consulting on the "Alphabet Soup of corporate citizenship- how to inspire, surf, & succeed in a fast changing world" (Ask me about my 25 articles & upcoming book); iii) Facilitating -partnerships, meetings, workshops, change management - helping SMB & NGOs plan, grow, get funding, reorganize, partner, & succeed.*****"In this social media, info-travels-fast, fast-changing era, if a company wants to stay aligned with its market, and keep its best employees, suppliers, & customers it has to focus on a variety of topics that have, until recently, been viewed as semi-distinct, but ultimately equate to purpose and corporate citizenship. There’s an alphabet soup-- CS, CSR, CW, DEI, ESG, SRI, PPP & SDG, etc.- which can be a confusing policy checklist, or can become an authentic driver of corporate culture and long-term success." ~ excerpt from my paper, 25 article-series (of 5-10 minute reads) and forthcoming book."Embracing The Alphabet Soup Of Corporate Citizenship; How to Become What the Market Increasingly Demands - to Surf, Inspire, and Succeed"*****By 20 years old, I had lived in 8 countries, in multiple languages, rules, & ways of dress. Those experiences formed me in many ways. I:+ learned to navigate change and help others do the same;+ grew to love diverse styles of music, expression, and problem solving; + developed my love for exploring ideas and places. + saw many ways of distributing resources, building society, and creating solutions.And, I saw both innovation and systemic inequities. I now use that real world + ivory-tower experience to guide teams to understanding their context, navigating change, and working together for creative, pragmatic solutions, to adapt & thrive, equitably & sustainably.After two decades across the corporate & impact sectors, in 14+ countries, I became more convinced that+ business, which creates ~3/4 of the world's wealth & goods can make huge positive impact through improving their processes, & actually contributing (more) solutions to global challenges. + the majority of leaders and staff want to believe✨ in their work, and leave a positive legacy.
