Wholehearted executive with over 20 years of experience in the art and science of collaborative conversations that create greater results (and joy) in complex organizations. Currently, CEO of Conversant – the only company I said I would work for after leaving a corporate career path almost 20 years ago.I started my career as an engineer in manufacturing and went on to be an internal process consultant in financial services. Wondering about the leap from that to my current love and faith in human connection? I have a deep appreciation for design – it started in the design of processes. It has evolved to an appreciation of the design of human connection and conversation– because there is a design that allows people and teams to achieve more with less time, money and stress…and more joy. It’s just that most of us aren’t thinking about conversations as the most powerful leadership tool we have. I help leaders create organizational culture and teams that align attitudes and actions to support their strategic initiatives in global corporations and Global Philanthropic organizations. I coach executives from a wide range of Fortune 1000 organizations on increasing their credibility, influence and impact in their highly matrixed organizations. I love connecting with new people; ask me about horses and leadership to get a faster response.Not every conversation can change the world; but any conversation can. I am out to change the world. One conversation at a time.Specialties:Culture Change, Strategic Communication and Alignment, Customer Experience, Collaboration, Executive Coaching
